Since there is no preassigned leader, whoever shows up decides where to go. If there are fewer than a dozen or so riders, it's customary for the group to stay together either by riding at the same pace or having the faster riders wait at each turn. With larger crowds, it's probably better to split up, perhaps choosing a common destination at which to regroup later. In addition to the usual equipment for minor mechanical emergencies and adequate layers of clothing for the winter weather, a map is a particularly useful thing to have onfrostbi te rides since you may be called upon to help plan or navigate the route. A good map which includes probably 95% of the area that will be covered on frostbite rides is the EXPtORER MAP AND GUIDE OF MET- ROPOLITAN BOSTON, available at many bookstores and bike shops.

2 This month has been a busy and memorable one for me. I moved back to Natick after nearly a 22 month hiatus in Norwood. I was so busy unpacking on December 7 that I didn't take time out for the "FROSTBITE RIDE" that started in Natick Common that day. By coincidence, I was driving through Natick Center just as the CRW riders were socializing after a ride to Milford. It WaS good to see such a large group. As soon as I started talking with several riders, I wished that I had left the unpacking until la-~2r and gone out for the ride. Debra Glassman and Mark Roseman hosted the December 12 Social at their home and as usual, I think everybody had a great time. Thanks Debra and Mark! Our ever generous Social Chairman, Bill Piekos, once again provided the liquid refreshments. Thanks a[ain, Bill! John Latva has done it again. For the second summer and fall in succession, John has cycled from coast to coast and back to our coast. He left in June and returned home to Maynard in October. He rode 58 centuries including 20 in a row on the return trip. John has cranked over 20,000 miles in 1980 so far! - truly an amazing accomplishment. He has completed not once, but twice, a ride that most of us fantasize doing someday. For you x-c (cross-country, that is) skiers, one of the topics to be discussed at the January 6 Board Meeting is a CRW ski trip. If interested, bring your ideas to th ' meeting. The HOT-lIDAYSEASON is upon us. I want to take this opportuni ty to offer all of you my beit wishes for a wonderful holiday season and a very happy new year. x - C HI TS CRW! A cross-country skiing day trip is being planned for Saturday, January 31, The location has yet to be picked, but it will be within a two hour drive from Boston. If you are interested, send a stamped self-addressed envelope to Dick Lewis, 25 Blake St., Needham, MA Full information will be sent by mail. Questions? Attend the CRW meeting on January 15 or call Dick Lewis, between 7 pm and 10 pm.

(THE 1980 Mileage Monk is retiring.) If you are interested, please contact Sam Johnson, President. P.S. Rob Greene sent the following line to the editor on November 27. "My mileage through November 30 will have been 7139." P.P.S. Jim Schissler wrote this note to our president, Sam Johnson: "I saw your mileage list for January through October I want to get on your list. I have ridden over 4300 miles this summer vacation and averaging 200 miles a month for the other 9 months, which would bring it to about 6100 miles through November. For the 4300 miles, I rode from New York to San Francisco in 58 days. The rest is mileage to and from my High School." The membership chairman would like to remind members NOT to renew their membership directly with the LAW. Your League dues are included in your CRW dues (at a discounted rate, to boot!). If you get a renewal notice from the teague and your CRW expiration is not imminent, get in touch with me, (John Pershing, ) and we will work something out.

Dick is one of the few qualified "Effective Cycling" instructors in the Greater Boston area. He will talk to us about the "Effective Cycling" program and his experiences teaching this approach to sharing the roads with the polluters as first delineated by John Forrester. You may decide to take the course or maybe even become an instructor yourself. Dick should have little trouble in converting all who attend, and then, perhaps on an each one teach one basis, we can make some real progress against the anarchy that reigns among cyclists on local roads. the MIT Computation Center Room 5)0 60 Vassar Street Cambridge, MA February 3, Tuesday 7:)0 PM CRW Board Meeting at the MIT Computation Center, Room 5)0, 60 Vassar Street, Cambridge.
