Once again Bud Lite is a 10-1 leader in the litter of choice. There seems to be a tight correlation between drinkers of lousy beer and a propensity to litter. No inappropriate DVDs were reported, perhaps because it was a Sunday.
In the touch of irony category was the extra-large styrofoam cup from McDonalds, emblazoned with the "Don't Mess with Texas" logo and the words, "Keep Texas Beautiful". Apparently this extra marketing effort had no impact on the purchaser of the cup.
Tickets and posters for our annual Raffle benefiting the MS150 are now available. It's time to SELL, SELL. SELL. We've donated $12,000 each year to the MS150 from raffle proceeds over the last several years.
You can pick up your tickets to sell from the following team members, or at Saturday's ride.
• Pat Castillo - San Felipe
• Omar Arciniegas - Dairy Ashford
• Mack Endres - Western Geco - Richmond
• Charlie Johnson - Sugar Land
Selling Raffle tickets helps with your personal fundraising for the MS150. The raffle tickets are distributed in groups of 10. They sell for $10.00 apiece. For every 10 tickets ($100) that you sell, you get $50 credit towards your personal MS150 Fundraising. Selling 100 tickets will cover your entire $500 minimum fundraising for the MS150. Last year we had a number of our members get credit for over $500 for their fundraising totals.
This year's top prizes are
• Giant Defy Advanced 1 bike, a $3300 retail value, or,
• 52" HDTV & Bluray/7.1 Home Theater System
Len Mayes is coordinating with the upcoming MS150 Recommended Rides. Contact Len if you'd like to sell at one of those rides. Bicycle World will give you a demo bike to exhibit at these events to help you sell.
We believe in riding safely and friendly. We believe if you ride courteously, you (and others around you) will be safer on the road. As such, we have certain high expectations for how SCC members behave on the road. These expectations are covered during our Cycling Skills Clinic, as well as during our pre-ride safety briefings.
In short, we want to follow my Golden Rule of Cycling: When cycling, ride like your mother is in that car behind you. When driving, drive like your daughter is on that bike in front of you.
In other words, don't do anything on a bike that wouldn't make your mother proud of you, and don't do anything in a car following a bike that would put anyone at risk, or in fear of their safety.
To achieve our goal of ZERO ACCIDENTS, safety must be on the minds of all ride participants, all of the volunteers and all of the ride staff members, ALL OF THE TIME. It's simply a case of mind over matter, so please help by giving 100 percent of your attention to safe riding practices. If you do mind, it will matter!!
Let's all heed the advice above and pay close attention to safety. As a group we can do a much better job of staying to the right. When there is a "car back" we need to get over to the right in single file (even on back roads).

We welcome guests who share our values of safe, friendly and courteous cycling. We are updating our Guest policy this year to better manage the number of guests, our club liability exposure and ride support costs. The following is our club policy concerning guest participation in our training rides. Please ask if you have any questions concerning this policy.
• Guests are allowed 1 “free” ride for the season. Guests are to pay $10 per ride after they have ridden once as a guest. We encourage them to join the club if they plan to ride more than once or twice.
• SCC members are allowed 1 “free” Guest each ride. Additional guests are to pay $10 each.
• Guests must have a completed, signed Waiver form on file. Waiver forms are available at each ride.
• All guests are required to follow our safety policies. An approved helmet is required. No earphones are permitted.
