My remaining summer bicycling classes are described below.  Most
sessions will be held at either the Falls Church Community Center or
at Alexandria's Nannie J. Lee Center, but a few sessions remain in
Arlington or Fairfax Counties.  In August, I will again teach
Proficient Cycling (LAB Road-2) to Road-1 graduates.

There are still a few vacancies in my 9-hour Cycling with Confidence
course (LAB Road-1) which begins tonight (July 16) at the Arlington
Career Center.  This may be the only such course this summer in the
greater Washington area, but you can still sign up today at [http://
www.arlingtonadulted.org] or by calling 703-228-7200.
