Cecelia leads a group for the first Diva dirt ride of the season!

Trailside repair

We had a great turnout for the trailside repair clinic this evening! Thanks for all your great questions. I really love teaching this clinic and knowing that it helps each of you feel more confident with working on your own bikes.

I promised to share a video about chains. Here's one from the KMC Chain website. You can find others out there by doing a web search. This one uses lots of tools that you don't always need, but it has a couple of handy close-ups and tips.

Replacing You Chain

Next week: we'll hit the dirt!!

The 2016 Spring Formal was a very DIVA event! A couple dozen decked-out Divas, with feather boas flapping in the breeze,  rode the Coastal Trail, attracting many stares, curious looks and smiles from onlookers.  The weather was cooperative, too!!

Michelle took this fabulous selfie of our boisterous group!

Cecelia and her bike were dressed in spring flowers.

Dora was very enthusiastic about the event!

Runaway-Bride Diva Diane was decked out in what she wore when she biked away with hubby Dean from her own wedding!

Supergirl Diva Marla, Vintage Diva Holly and Dressy Diva Kristin showed off their Diva-wear.

Disco Diva Jo-Ann was sparkly and ready to ride!

Knitting Diva Diana's knitting bike was hands-down the best-decorated bike, and also the most colorful and warm bike in the pack! Diana also knitted herself a skirt to match the ensemble!

 Diva Marla exits from a phone booth transformed into Supergirl Diva!!!

And the winners are.............. Runaway-Bride-Diva Diane won the overall "Princess in Training" award!

Tied for 2nd were Supergirl Diva Marla and Vintage Diva Holly.

And, Diana, left, of course, for BEST BIKE!
