Invitationals
These are some of the rides in our area where members often participate.
If you participate, and no one else has done so, please announce your participation on the Yahoo Group
and offer to bring an AHBC signup sheet to the event. Members of these clubs often participate in the
Arlington 500 and AHBC often has riders participating in these clubs invitationals as well.

This is our best guess as to the schedule for many other Invitational cycling events where our members often participate. Actual dates for each year should be
obtained from the organizers of these events. Rides listed are primarily 1 day events, although a few are 2 days.
