"I just want to give people a chance to get together and have some exercise," he says. Klaver decided to try and organize a cycling club after talking to a man who recently moved to the area from Mississauga and wondered why such a thing doesn't exist in Seaforth. "It only takes one person to get it going. It's very informal - whoever shows up can decide what they want to do with it," he said. Klaver, the current owner of the Seaforth bowling alley, said he is offering the business as a meeting place for cyclists before they set out Susan Hundertmark photo Jessie and Brandy James, of Egmondville, are planning to join a cycling club being organized for Seaforth by Pete Klaver. on a weekly Sunday morning ride. "If people are into mountain biking, maybe they want to head out to Hullett (Wildlife Conservation Area). Or maybe they just want to ride 20 kilometres for a morning ride," he said. Klaver said he sees lots of local people out riding their bikes and thought a club would give people a reason to get some regular exercise. And, once a club is off the ground, he said events such as bicycle poker rallies could be organized, possibly raising money for local charities. "I'm just trying to get some community spirit going in town. We'll have to see if there's any interest," he said. Anyone interested in joining a cycling club in Seaforth is invited to bring their bikes to the bowling alley on Sunday, Sept. 11 at 8 a.m. Scoreboard SHUFFLEBOARD Aug. 31 Women's high: Catherine De Corte 5 wins, Anne Van Dooren, Wilma Pennings, 4 wins.
