Re: Group Road ride every Saturday from Thalwil (Zurich)

Good idea for this week meeting, but I cannot attend due to out-of town work committments.

I know Lerch Cycle, it is only about 5 minutes from my house, but I would suggest starting the Thalwil side of the lake rides down on Seestrasse (as opposed to Gattikon) to accomodate individuals coming from Zurich and the other side of the lake.

Alternating sides of the lake for the Thursday night ride is agreeable to me. One possible thought for these rides is they could start in Meilen/Horgen, respectively. These locations may provide starting points for rides with less traffic, which is preferable for a group ride.
This is a good idea.

But what might be also an idea is that we can have varied starting places. One member takes responsibility for a ride that he knows he/she will be able to attend. Then suggests a starting place that suits everyone for that ride. This way we can get to explore many areas around all sides of lake Zurich and everyone can take a certain amount of responsibility/ownership of the rides.

We could have a list of Starting places such as:
Horgan
Meilen
Tiefenbrunen
Landeweise
Rapperswil

or so and then someone could plan a ride from each of these places.

Logistically it will be a bit more work to get to each ride. But it would certainly liven it up a bit and we all get to see some new areas.

Just a suggestion, I admit I know nothing about organising road rides so if the idea is silly I apologise.
