2) Ride with us on Saturdays (as many as you can) before the BikeMS event in New Bern and volunteer for SAG duty.
3) Contribute $25 yearly dues.

As Treasurer ...
Annnual dues are $25 per person. Dues are primarily used for funding our spread during the BikeMS event in New Bern (this includes, but not limited to, the tent, chairs, tables, cooling fan, snacks and drinks). Some funds will be used for our Ride With GPS Team Account where we post our routes and cue sheets online as well as maintaining this web site presence. We encourage everyone riding with us during the season to contribute. Additionally, it is a component of joining and becoming a Cyclepath.
To pay your dues, you may Venmo $25 (or any other amount), or send a check, made payable to Nancy Yaguda, our treasurer, at the following address below. Otherwise, Nancy, Lisa, or Janet will be glad to accept your contributions at any of our Saturday events. (Dues are not tax deductible contributions)
In memory of Tommy Fitzgerald ... thanks for all you did for the Cyclepaths.
