Join us for a BIG weekend of FUN!

Hello Ladies,
Join me on Saturday in DC to help me celebrate my birthday doing my favorite thing – riding my bicycle with fun cyclists who love to ride as much as I do, if that is possible!

Door County Triathlon Pre-Race Course Ride & Run & Swim
Saturday, June 27, 2009 @ 9am at Frank Murphy Park, Egg Harbor
We will start riding as a big group and split up naturally by our riding speed. Take a quick transition and run 6 miles on the run course. Follow up the day with a cool down swim or dip. Pack a lunch, your spouse and the kids and we’ll have a picnic in the park. Self-supported event. Need to follow the rules of the road. No charge!


Giant Bicycle Demo Day
Sunday, June 28, 2009 from 12-4pm @ the BC Reforestation Camp
The big rig is rolling in with a truck full of Giant road and mountain bikes for you to take out for a test ride. We’ll have flat repair clinics, a nutrition clinic and a cycling prevention and injury clinic with Corey Kunzer, a PT and L.A.T. from Aurora Sports Medicine Center. Best of all we’ll have great Giant Bicycles at demo day prices.

Wednesday Early Morning Ride from the West Side YMCA @ 5:30am to 7am
We had a hot steamy ride this morning and enjoyed the camaraderie of riding together. And believe it or not, we DID NOT get wet last Wednesday. We did go home with very dirty bikes from the wet roads to the chagrin of my husband Mark who kindly cleans my bike for me. You now know another rule, if it’s raining at your house; it may not be at the west side YMCA when we start. Well, I will state it look like we were going to get wet and it was tempting to just run, but Gail rode her bike to the YMCA and that was that. We rode! I'm glad we did!

COMING UP!

The youth group from Our Saviour Lutheran Church is bringing refurbished bikes after giving them a little TLC. They’ll be grilling brats, have popcorn, soda and the like for you to enjoy. Come check out the steals and deals!

TNR June 23rd. Hot and Juicy

Whew! Record heat and 93 degrees made for a steamer last night for 15 riders. It was only a month ago that the flushed look on everyone’s face was caused by cold.

We have hit the peak of Pea Gravel season and several roads were full of it. A couple flats added to the heat but that all said it was comfortable and everyone went home happy.

This weekend we have the Door County Triathlon Pre-ride. See our website at www.incompetition.com for details.

We also have the Giant Bicycles Team Demo rig coming to the Reforest ration Camp on Sunday 12-4. There are both road and mountain bikes to ride (nice ones too) so come on out. See www.incompetition.com as well for info.

Next Tues, the heat should continue, how sweet is that? See you at 5:30pm SO2

Rain Rain Go Away!

Wednesday Early Morning Ride from the West Side YMCA at 5:30am to 7am!

Many of you will wonder when you get up tomorrow morning if we are riding or not due to the weather forecast! Here's the scoop. If you are leaving your garage to drive or ride to the west side YMCA and it is raining! STOP! We will not START a ride in the rain. If it's just cloudy and kinda looks like rain. COME! Over the years, I've found if you don't ride; it doesn't rain. You are welcome to call me at 434-4531, but I'll probably just tell you to come to the YMCA. If it is raining and I'm now wide awake from trying to make a decision; it's very unlikely I'll be able to go back to sleep, so let's go for a FUN RUN instead. Running is the rain it not that bad and actually kinda fun! We'll meet at the West Side YMCA at 5:30am for a nice run to chat and still get a good workout.

LADIES NEIGHBORHOOD NETWORK!

I'm still working on the neighborhood network and I'd like to hear from more of you to make the list as complete as possible. Just give me your neighborhood and stay on the list. Give me more names to add to the list. Really, let's try it! We have been having great early Wednesday morning rides (two actually) and spontaneously had an early Sunday morning ride, so I know it works.

Here is great training session planned by my niece Ashley that you can join on the east side of Green Bay this Saturday!

Here is her ride and swim training info along with how to contact her:

Hey Ladies!

How about another ride and swim this Saturday June 20th. Meeting at my place: 1004 Clement Street @ 7:00 am. Meeting place is subject to change depending on number of riders. We will ride out to Bay Shore Park (approx. 13 miles), swim for as long as we want and then ride back a different route making it about a 30-35 mile round trip ride. Carry a small backpack with your wetsuit, aqua socks/sandals, small towel and cap and goggles. Remember, everything you bring will be on your back the whole ride. Of course, don't forget plenty H20. Please let me know if you will be joining, so I can get a count of how many to expect. Deb, could you please forward this to the ladies that ride Wed mornings! Thanks! Also, don't forget that there is a ride Wednesday mornings leaving from the West side YMCA at 5:30-7:00 am. It was a blast last week! Any more questions about this ride contact dernst@new.rr.com. Hope to see you all Saturday Morning!!!
