Guest Speakers - Ken Gaissert, Emad Samad, Jay Marowitz, Bruce White
I hope that you’ve been well and staying safe throughout this snowy winter. Perhaps we’ve had our final snowstorm of the winter, or maybe there’s still another one or two left in store for us. No matter what the weather brings, we can look forward to spring just around the corner—and with it, the return of the vibrant spring and summer cycling seasons.
To get us revved up for the seasons ahead, the PFW Board has pulled together a small group of speakers to present to our members next Monday—March 2nd. The presentation will take place at 7 PM via Zoom, and topics will include bikepacking, the alliance with the Morris Area Freewheelers to put on the Revolutionary Ramble, and information about the 9/11 25th Anniversary Cycling Challenge. We look forward to seeing everyone and sharing our enthusiasm for the upcoming cycling season!
"""""""""""""""""""""""""
After the guest speakers‘ presentations and Q&A are completed, there will be time for a general Q&A session with the Board.
Therefore, please email any advance questions for the Board to Mike Valazza (email: pfwclubpresident@gmail.com) or Jim Brittain (pfweditor@gmail.com).
Thanks, and the Board looks forward to seeing you at the meeting.

Presented by Sourland Cycles, one of our PFW Sponsors:
Two group rides leaving from the shop at 11AM
A group will be a drop ride who‘s pace will vary based on participation, we want to make the event as flexible as possible given how early in the riding season it is.
B group will be a NO drop ride, that will be distinctly slower, and or less mileage than the A group.
Both rides are expected to last about two hours, and climbing/milage will be adjusted based on pace and participation
Strade Bianche Watch Party
Relax in the shop with snacks and beverages while watching the pro‘s cross the finish line!
Thorough Upgrade Evaluations
Mechanics will be available from 12-3 PM for in-depth conversations about what upgrades, service, or changes your bike could need to be even better for this upcoming season
