The RAC This Week (Jan. 27th)

Dear Parents,

RAC co-founder Mike Fickel's memorial service will be held on 

  • Saturday, February 7th, at 2 pm. 

  • St. Bart's Episcopal Church 

  • 16275 Pomerado Rd, Poway, CA 92064. 

  • All are invited.

  • Please wear your RAC t-shirt, if you have one. 

  • The Feb 7th ride has been cancelled

From Joel, volunteer, jersey designer and coordinator 

“February 1st, this coming Sunday, is the last day to order RAC Jerseys.

If you're interested in purchasing a RAC jersey, shirt, or jacket, the store is open. Get your order in by February 1st.

Ordering a jersey, shirt, or jacket is a fun way to show your support for The RAC, but it is absolutely not required. 10% of sales are given back and help fund The RAC.

Cycling clothing tends to run tight, so if you're unsure of your size, order up.

Let me know if you have any questions.”

From Dr Bob, Bike Mechanic 

“ Calvin Jones from Park Tool recently announced his retirement.  Calvin produced a huge number of videos from Park Tool showing DIY bike mechanics the basics of repair.  Here are are a few of my favorites.”
