It's Banquet Time Again!
by Bob Myrick
All Club members are invited to our
annual TWBC banquet. Our 1995 banquet is
buffet style, on Saturday, January 14, 1995,
at the Tacoma Mountaineer's Club, 2302
North 30th Street, in Old Town, Tacoma.
The banquet will start off with refresh-
ments at 6:00 p.m., with dinner at 7:30 p.m.
Dinner will again be catered by Grazies'
Ristorante Italiano.
Our banquet theme will be bicycles, old
and new. This theme suits our Club well,
with a history going back to 1888, while
riding into the future.
After dinner, Louie Boitano will present highlights and lowlights from the past year's riding. Send in your ride logs to receive a mileage certificate and recognition. There should also be a great slide show recalling our 1994 adventures. Call me or Steve Lay if you have memorable slides.
If you know something that someone
needs to forget, now is the time to call
Louie.
Help is needed for the banquet. Call me at
473-7455 to help. We need someone who can
design a cake, provide refreshments, and do
other similar jobs.
Meanwhile, send in your reservation
form, found on page 7 of this Newsletter.
Tribute To A Friend
by David Kennedy
Editor's Note: The following tribute to David Juarez, who
was struck and killed by a motorist while riding with the
Cascade Bicycle Club, was written by his riding partner,
David Kennedy. David Juarez is the brother-in-law of Mat
and Connie Reitzug, and is a former member of the TWBC.
On October 13, 1994, David Juarez’s life
was tragically ended by a hit and run drunk
driver. He left behind not only a wife and
family, but a legacy of friendship that was
felt by all who knew him.
When I first met David he was wearing a
“South Bay Wheelmen” jersey, one I recog-
nized as being from my home area of south-
ern California. I asked if he had ridden for
SBW, and he explained how he had met some Cat 1 riders racing in his home state of Texas, invited them to stay at his home, and made them an extended family. David made such an impression on these riders that they invited him to stay in their home in Califor- nia and race with them as part of a compos- ite team for the Tour Of Redlands.
During the USCF Nationals in Seattle this year, David met some riders from Texas who were having trouble securing accom- modations. Once again he opened his heart and his home to them as he had many times in the past. This was not something he did out of any obligation, it was just David's way of supporting the sport he loved. It did not matter who, just that they rode. He asked for nothing in return, just that they enjoyed themselves.
My own experience with David followed
the same pattern. Being new to the North-
west, I was having trouble finding serious
riders to train with. Through a friend, I
heard about the club rides at Coulon Park
and thought that might be a good way to
meet some riders to train with. It was there
I met David and we quickly became best
friends.
We had similar backgrounds and similar
goals for next year's racing season, so we
decided to train together. As often happens
on long training rides, you learn a lot about
each other. One thing that kept coming up
in our conversations was how strongly
David felt about his family. I met David's
wife, Maria, his kids Alex and KJ, and
watched as Alex learned to ride a bicycle.
Without realizing it, I was part of his family.
Family was the one thing David held most dear. Nothing, not even his training, came before his family. Always, he would schedule his rides around family time. He knew there was nothing more important in life than his family. A typical sight after a ride was David sitting on his front porch, surrounded by his wife and kids, telling stories about how well everyone else on the ride did, seldom saying anything about how

Ride Notes:
Holiday Parade And Tree Lighting Bicycle Ride: Last year TWBC members lit up their bicycles and rode in this annual event. Our efforts paid off in good fun, supporting our community and the President's Award.
Once again we are looking for bicyclists who can make the commitment for the afternoon. This year the date is
December 4th, and the parade starts at 5:00 p.m., with riders in line by 3:00 p.m. Meet at Carla and Steve's home between
2:00 and 2:45 p.m. We will help anyone decorate their bicycles, and have some refreshments. Then we will bicycle
downtown at 2:45 p.m. to wait in line. After participating in the parade you can stay for the tree lighting ceremony and then
ride back to the start.
Round trip mileage is about 8 miles. Be prepared for the weather. Last year it was cold, but no rain. Call Carla at 752-4038 if the above times do not fit your schedule. We can be flexible to accommodate.
This is just a pre-ride to the TWBC Christmas Night Ride. Spend the time to decorate your bicycle and enjoy these
events.
Holiday Party Time: Club members are invited to Joyce Clifford's home on Saturday, December 10, 1994, for the annual Holiday Party. The address is 3811 N. Madison, Tacoma, Washington. Holiday food and lights are in store for all who come to this winter potluck and bicycle lights ride.
(Continued on page 4)
TWBC NEWSLETTER December, 1994 Page 3
Party schedule: 12:30 p.m. Put food in house. 1:00 p.m. Afternoon ride. 4:30 p.m. Set up for dinner. 5:00 p.m. Let's eat! 6:30 p.m. Holiday lights ride. 8:00 p.m. Dessert and warm drinks.
Members are invited to any or all of the activities.
Wear warm clothes for the evening ride, which can be quite cold. (You might need them for the afternoon ride as well.) The evening ride will tour the north end of Tacoma to see the holiday lights on display.
All bicycles need lights for the night ride. For fun, decorate yourself and your bicycle with colored lights.
Because of a short street, parking for cars is minimal. Car pool, park around the corner, or ride your bike. If you need directions to the house, call Joyce at 759-2393. Remember, bring food, dress warm, and bring lights.
Joint TWBC And Foothills Rails To Trails Bicycle Ride: Start the year with a ride and history of the Foothills Trail. Meet in Orting on January 7th at the City Park at 9:30 p.m. Erine Bay will provide highlights of the Trail's progress.
We will ride from Orting to Buckley on the trail whenever possible. In Buckley we will see the portion of the trail
that TWBC helped to pave.
Bring money for lunch in Buckley. For more information call Carla at 752-4038.
Ride Review 1994
Or What I Learned Along The
Way
by Kent Wienker, TWBC President
The Volksmarch combination bike ride
we did in the spring showed me two
things—I am a slow walker and the
main road from Aberdeen to Ocean
Shores can be dangerous in spots for
cycling.
We as a Club should utilize the Fort
Lewis area, as it is even better than
country roads. There are no dogs or
traffic, and it is flat. You will need a pass
unless you go with a ride leader.
Bob Myrick and I rode with a lady
from Olympia who had a beater bike
and was always there and pushing the
speed. Linda Nelson went on to qualify
for this year's Iron-Man Triathalon.
Whidbey Island is an incredible place
to ride, with good shoulders and beauti-
ful scenery. I heard the south end is
hilly.
Of the mountain passes Bob Myrick and crew have done, I think starting from Ohanapecosh and going up Ste- vens Canyon to Paradise, and then on to Packwood, is my favorite. The downhill along Skate Creek has to be exper- ienced.
STP weekend is great. Well worth the
training effort. This year there was a
head wind for one day riders, but there
is always the home stretch after the
Longview bridge.
Icrashed on my mountain bike. Crys-
tal Mountain can be extreme.
Bob Myrick and I found out it is man-
datory to call ahead for lodging in the
Portland area in the summer. After
looking for four hours until 1:00 a.m.,
we had to sleep in the car. Then we got
up and did a century ride, only the
course was not marked! Occasionally we
saw an old mark. After wrong turns we
logged 130 miles. The jump in the river
at the end made it O.K.
I found out there are drawbacks to
cycling in the San Juans. Some of the
people try to make scrap metal out of
you. There were a lot of close calls.
I was ticketed, along with some
friends, for delaying 5 or more cars in
Mt. Rainier National Park.
I continued to be bothered by cramps on long rides. My goal is to find out why. After 4000 cumulative miles I pulled a muscle around the knee, trying to keep up with a rocket on the Tour de Lacs. What a fantastic organized ride, if the weather is good, if you like it, if, if.
We took mini-vacations to Monterey,
California, riding 17 mile drive. Later
we went to Moab, Utah. The mountain
bike thanked me.
On a club ride to Bremerton I noticed a canoe on a car which seemed to be loose. Then it flew off, spinning in the air and landing in front of us, stopping fairly close. I read an article about a cyclist in Michigan who was killed this way.
A friend of mine was cycling towards Key Center when a black labrador came running across the yard, forcing a col- lision. The rider dislocated his shoulder, and his bike was ruined. The owners of the dog settled out of court. This dog usually chases bikes just after leaving Key Center, going down the hill to the Sound, on the Peninsula Metric route.
I know others had good and bad rides
this year because I heard about them.
TWBC NEWSLETTER December, 1994 Page 4
Why not pen an article for the Newslet-
ter? This keeps us amused. I am still
trying to get up to the Winthrop area,
which has a good road and mountain
biking. Next year.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New
Year to you and yours.
Cross Country Ski
Seminar Offered
Les Schroel of the Mt. Constance
Mountain Shoppe has offered a Cross
Country Ski seminar for the first part of
December. Equipment will be available
for rent.
If you are interested call Kent Wienker
at 474-9395.
Bike Cases Available
To Club Members
We now have two bicycle cases that
were purchased by the Club, and a
tandem case has been made available by
a member.
These cases are durably made yet light
weight. They hinge, are framed in alu-
minum, have tie downs, and are foam
lined. They have two sets of casters for
wheeling.
Airlines sometimes charge a $50.00 fee to transport a bike in a case. Some tra- velers have found they can ship the case with their other luggage free if they do not declare the bike. Usually there is no charge for a bike on international flights.
The tandem case was made by the
(Continued on page 5)
same company. Two individual bikes
can fit inside disassembled. The
arrangements for using this tandem case
will be made with the owner, Lew Jones.
Call him at 564-5784.
To make arrangements to use the
individual cases, please call Bob Myrick
at 473-7455.
The deposit and any time limits for the
use of the cases has yet to be deter-
mined.
Future availability of the cases will be
noted in this Newsletter.
Commuter Of The Month
by Rich Walter
I began my bicycle commuting in
1970, after purchasing a Schwinn Super-
Sport from Eldon Stratton at Southwells.
My first commute was a sixteen mile
round trip to a drive-in movie theater
where I worked as a projectionist.
Actually, I began commuting as a
student at Gray Junior High School in
1954 on a Schwinn Corvette with three-
speed rear end and spring suspension
fork. Sure wish I had that bike today,
just for its collector value!
I joined the League of American
Wheelmen in 1971, Cascade Bicycle
Club in 1973, and was a charter member
of the Tacoma Wheelmen in October,
1974, when annual dues and initiation
were $4.00.
In 1993 I was featured in a video pro-
moting Carless Commuting, sponsored
in part by the Tacoma Wheelmen.
My newest bike is a 1979 Davidson
that is currently set up as a cross bike for
off road and winter riding. I do most of
my commuting on a 1972 Nishiki, of
which only the stem and frame are still
original.
Today's commute is a 32 mile round
trip from Puyallup to Channel 13 Tele-
vision, at night, on the shoulder of High-
way 512. People on the freeway can be
so friendly and nice. Sometimes they
share their refreshments with you.
There is nothing like a Coke or beer at
55 mph! During the summer, my wife
Linda frequently joins me for most of
the commute.
Unlike Bob Myrick, I have had more
than one flat tire. As a matter of fact, I
buy patch kits ten at a time, and have
used an entire kit on one ride! There is
nothing worse than having seven punc-
tures and having only six patches.
Bicycle lighting has come a long way from the fork-mounted generator lights of 1970. My first battery powered light was a homemade system using two 6- volt motorcycle batteries and a tractor headlight. This was very effective, but quite heavy. In 1980 I switched to a Master-Line 12-volt system that still works well. I am currently using a 16- watt Vistalight setup with their new Xenon strobe taillight. Riding at night, I try not to look like a bike rider. Instead, I like to use an amber strobe that makes me look more like a moving construc- tion zone.
Staying in shape during the winter
months can be a problem. Back in the
early '70s, I built an exercise stand that
supported the rear of the bike. Then I
attached an automotive alternator to
charge a small battery and run a 12-volt
television.
In order to watch my favorite show (Starsky & Hutch), I had to pedal like mad to keep the battery charged! It was crude, but it worked. I got the idea after visiting the Pacific Science Center, where they had a similar setup. Or was itan episode of Gilligan's Island? Today, cross-country skiing is my favorite way of maintaining aerobic conditioning in the wood-smoke choked, foggy and wet winter months.
Government Relations
Committee Tackles
Several Issues In
November
by Bob Myrick
The Government Relations Committee
decided to send a letter to the Pierce
County Council in anticipation of the
county's soon to be unveiled non-motor-
ized plan. The group also plans to send
an “action alert” (see page 6) to other
organizations with a list of suggested
talking points about the importance of
the plan. Members are encouraged to
take this alert to any organization they
may belong to.
Dave Tison wrote a letter to the Ta-
coma Metropolitan Park District advo-
cating bike access along the proposed
promenade from Owens Beach to the
boathouse.
The Committee also discussed changes
to a letter to ASARCO about its traffic
circle.
The Tacoma Planning Commission
and Transportation Committee con-
sidered the Club letter asking if the
Marine View Drive Project is consistent
with its multimodal policies. The city
engineers have finally agreed to pave
the gravel pathways as a result of sev-
eral groups objecting to the lack of non-
motorized facilities.
Carla Gramlich testified at Tacoma's
budget meetings, advocating the need
for more funding and a bike coordina-
tor.
Tom Hackleman attended our meeting
as a representative of the local racing
group Team Vent Noir.
Our next meeting will be held on
Tuesday, December 13, at 2804 N. 19th
Street in Tacoma, at 7:00 p.m. Everyone
is welcome.
Issues or answers? Call me at 473-
7455.
Rock Meets Club Member
by Daniel Newlander
On October 31, 1994, Halloween, I was
on my bicycle heading eastbound on
66th Street, at about Mullen to Chey-
enne. It was 1:30 p.m., and I was barely
two blocks from home.
Suddenly, two men, ages 30-35, both with dark hair, and driving a white 1994 GMC or Chevy pickup, threw a large rock at me from behind. I was struck above the elbow, without warning, and my arm went numb. It remained numb for 45 minutes.
I did not get a license plate number,
and counted myself fortunate in being
able to keep from crashing. If the rock
had struck me in the head, I surely
would have been unconscious and in
need of stitches.
In all my life and experience on the
road on a bicycle, I have never before
suffered such a brutal, deliberate, and
preplanned attack.
If anyone has suffered a similar inci-
dent by these people, call me at 473-
2397. All want is their license number.
TWBC NEWSLETTER December, 1994 Page 5
Editor's Note: The following action alert is provided to members so they can present the items to community groups they belong to, or mail
the alert to groups that should recognize non-motorized issues and elements. Specifically, members can mail this alert to: Tom Ballard,
County Engineer, Public Works Department, Pierce County Annex, 2401 S. 35th Street, Tacoma, WA 98409, and, Pierce County Council,
County City Building, 930 Tacoma Avenue South, Room 1046, Tacoma, WA 98402. (See Bob Myrick’s article on page 5 of this Newsletter.)
To Community Groups interested in better neighborhoods;
Pierce County's Draft Non-motorized Plan will soon be ready for public review. The Tacoma
Wheelmen's Bicycle Club is asking local groups interested in better neightorhoods to write to the
County Council, County Executive and the Pierce County Public Works Department supporting
this effort and looking forward to reviewing the plan. Your letter can emphasize any of the
following points:
1. Your group is anticipating the release of the draft plan and expects support from the County Council and County Executive in its public review and timely adoption.
2. The update of the Growth Management Act includes the requirement for a non-motorized plan element as part of the comprehensive plan.
3. The Puget Sound Regional Council requires consideration of pedestrian and bicycle access in all road projects that it funds. The non-motorized plan will help address this requirement.
4. ISTEA (Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act) and other funding is contingent upon having projects identified in plans that are reviewed by the public.
6. Nonmotorized facilities will serve people who do not drive,make up 30% of the population (mostly children and the elderly) and those who do drive but may choose not to drive.
7. The present lack of facilities contributes significantly to accidents between cars and bikes and cars and pedestrians, increasing the cost of medical service and adding to human suffering.
8. The present lack of facilities forces nearly everyone to drive because little or no choice of other transportation exists. People with disabilities will achieve greater independence.
9. The lack of good access to Pierce Transit service severly limits use of the bus system. Better bicycle and pedestrian access could improve the use and reduce the need for transit subsidies.
10. A number of current efforts to build trails in the region will greatly benefit the residents. The non-motorized plan will help the County and other jurisdictions to tie into these trails.
11. Higher densities make sense economically because shorter trip lengths mean more trips can
be made by walking or bicycle, reducing the need for expensive roadway lanes and signal
upgrades to service sprawl development.
12. Coupled with regulations for limiting the spread of growth through requirements for higher densities, investments in non-motorized facilities will be far cheaper to the county and to private sector than building more and bigger roads and parking lots for cars.
Thank you for taking the time to write to our County officials about this important issue.
Sincerely,
oe as oe Be Ce

Dates Set For 1995 Club
Rides, Expo, And STP
by Kent Wienker, TWBC President
Last month we set the dates for our rides. Mark your calendar. Expo, promoted by the Cascade Bicycle Club, is February 18-19 in Seattle. At this event we can first sign-up for the Seattle To Portland ride, plan a cycle vacation with a lot of the bike tour companies represented, and see those Erickson frames one more time!
You can volunteer at our Expo booth
or sign up for the Chilly Hilly ride.
There will be a follow-up article next
month. 1995 should be a big year for
cycling.
Our rides are the 20th annual Daffodil
Classic and the 13th annual Peninsula
Metric Century. The Daffodil is
scheduled for April 23rd. The PMC will
be June 4th.
So far everyone I have talked to has
said they cannot chair the Daffodil
Classic. Anyone? All necessary support
will be available, I guarantee it!
Carla Gramlich will chair the
Peninsula Metric Century for 1995. She
gave totally this year. She will write an
article later.
The Seattle To Portland (STP) ride will
be on June 24-25. The Cascade Bicycle
Club expects another 10,000 people to
come through the rest stop our Club
staffs at Spanaway.

well he did. As always, invitations for
lunch were extended to all and often
accepted. This was just his way of letting
others know they were truly welcome at
his home, anytime.
Individuals like David Juarez are the exception rather than the rule. I feel very fortunate to have known him for the time that I did, and sorry for those who will never have a chance to experience his wit and hospitality. I, for one, will miss him.
