Hello women cyclists!
Welcome to our 2009 season! Last year I dropped off radar with the blog and I apologize. New year, new goals! With all the snow in my yard still piled 2 feet high, I'm having a hard time coming to grips with cycling season starting in a few weeks but I know the sun in March is warm enough to melt all this snow and bring the warmth of spring here soon!
Here are a few upcoming events I want you to be aware of...
TONIGHT!
Stephanie Chase will be speaking to the SMCC and CCCP women on Thursday, March 12th at 6pm at Rivalries (upstairs) in Portland. She will share her knowledge in group rides, training, in addition to informing everyone about an exciting clinic series she will be offering to women in the area in regards to bike handling skills and group riding.
We'd love to have you join us for this event. For those of you who were at the event in the fall with Stephanie, this will be a continuation of her brief talk. It's a great way to reconnect with our biking friends and gear up for the upcoming biking season.
SMCC SEASON KICKOFF BRUNCH
Mark your calendars! We plan to have our Annual Season Kickoff Potluck Brunch on Saturday, March 28th, from 10:30-1pm. Location is at Sue Lamb's home at 20 Ledgemere Drive in Biddeford - which is just off Route 9. Thanks Sue for hosting!
At this brunch, we will discuss:
Overview of this season's weekly ride (the ride has been officially changed from Wednesday night 5:30pm to Tuesday night 6pm)
Talk about date for 1st ride of the season
Route - discuss current route, length, speed
Review of end-of-season evaluations (submissions will remain anonymous - there were some excellent suggestions and ideas from these we should discuss in a group setting)
Discussion of A and B rides and transitioning back into one ride if that is the consensus
Special once-a-month Saturday rides
Pizza and/or ice-cream following rides
Racing - crits, time trials, cyclocross
Clinics - what types to offer?
Trek and Tour de Cure interest
Thanks everyone and we'll keep you posted on the date for our first ride of the season. Check here often!
Happy riding,
Shannon
