It started when...
CARES was founded in late 2003 by the collaborative efforts
of Jack O'Day and Lars Mulford. These two sought to bring about a bike club that would seek out and welcome all cyclists,
regardless of age, skill or bike type. As CARES came together, the fellowship that developed from actually riding TOGETHER
AS A GROUP, became the foundation for which CARES is known. Genuine fellowship also allows diversity, which is abundant through
CARES.
Jack O'Day, one of the original founders, passed in September
of 2007. His guidance and spirit were instrumental in forming the fellowship of CARES. Though he is no longer with us, he
will always be in our hearts, leading through spirit and example. Ride strong, ride safe, ride free, Jack.

Why CARES?
CARES exists for those who wish to ride non-competitively, enjoying true fellowship while
sharing cycling journeys. There is no elitism here, no tiering of cyclists by "perceived" ability, and no one gets dropped.
We ride together because we enjoy the FELLOWSHIP FIRST.
If you want to remember the unbridled enthusiasm that brought you to cycling, come ride with
us.
Fellowship through acceptance and diversity, that's the CARES construct.
