Please join everyone for the August Mirage Meeting at the White Rock Alehouse at 7:30 PM on the 12th.

Be especially vigilant to drink enough fluids while riding this month! 

Fall Mirage Camp

It’s time to start thinking about this Fall’s Mirage Fredericksburg Cycling camp!  The dates are October 17-20. You don’t want to miss riding in the beautiful Hill Country!

Most go down on Wednesday the 16th, but you can come to ride whatever days you like.  Sunday is always a shorter ride so folks can get on their way home. Links for the routes will be sent out as we approach the date.

MOST IMPORTANT – if you are considering going, we suggest making hotel reservations now. The hotel Sunday House on Main where some folks stayed last year is almost full for those dates so they are not letting me hold any rooms. Rates are $214 a night not including tax for 2 beds. Most rides start from Gillespie Park just off Main Street in downtown Fredericksburg. A rental anywhere near that area is a great option.

Saturday Night Dinner

Saturday night we will have a group dinner with more details to come. 

Let Sue Beckham sbeckham@att.net know if you plan to attend so she can coordinate dinner and other activities as we get closer to October. If you have questions, feel free to email Sue or me for more details.

Membership Required

If you plan to join us, please remember you must be a member of Mirage. If you want to join you can here.

Don’t miss the Mirage meeting at the White Rock Ale House at 7:30 March 11 where members will get one free drink and some snacks!

Come hear about your fellow members world travel and why Jordan would drive to Turkey, Texas to ride in 31 degree weather with a howling north wind thru a tunnel of mud.

New items have been added to the team store so check them out at My Team Store. These are optional kits you can buy, wear, mix and match as the blue in the new colorways in these new options are the same as the blues in the original current kit.

The Jakroo store is open for batch pricing which means achieving just 6 orders for an item will result in discountes. Deadline for ordering is March 24.
