Good Morning,
My goodness gracious, change is upon us. I have a lot of information to share so please read this entire email. As most of us are gearing up for the Friday Night 5K, I want to congratulate Val Murphy for qualifying for the Boston Marathon. She joins an elite few from our club who will be a part of that race. As we get more sunlight we are pushing back the times for our workouts. This allows more people to attend
Thank you to everyone who showed up for our Asparagus Ride this past weekend. We had a beautiful morning, a great turnout, just two flats and we raised over $500 for the Clearview Relay for life team!

Lydia and Traci have all the plans in place for Piqunique en Blanc ( I still can't spell that right). I have my white dress ready to rock. Don't forget we have babysitters on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights!! Sign up Below.
Lastly, I want to mention the importance of safety on the bike. When we are out on the road we are highly identifiable and I have received a few emails about "those girls in pink" riding three across or in the middle of the lane. I am not sure if this is true or not but please stay single file in high traffic areas such as Back creek road or Tomlin station road. Obey all road signs as if you were a car and if a car beeps at you or rides closely to you just maintain your composure and focus on the road.
I hope you all have a fabulous Memorial Day weekend! I will be at the beach the entire weekend! CLICK HERE FOR ALL OF THE SIGN ME UPS. IT IS THE BIG YELLOW BUTTON Thank you, Colleen Fossett Lydia DelRosso Michelle Powell |
