    • "Club time is my favorite thing to do when I just need some leisure time at night. The relaxed atmosphere is just what I need after a long day on campus. Anyone can ride, no matter what skill level or style of riding, and everyone who comes is there to have a good time. It is a great time for anyone to learn, practice or just hang out."
