Attn Women’s Race Teams ~ The So Cal bike racing off-season is short but it is a popular time for clinics. Now is a great time to plan a Track Cycling Clinic for your women’s team! Not only is track cycling fun but it teaches you many valuable skills that are essential for all cycling abilities and disciplines. Please contact me for more information!

Sun Nov 2nd ~ The 2008 Muddy Buddy Race Series is coming to San Dimas and they need some Downright Dirty Divas! No…this is not a track cycling event but it is a fun race for the multi-sport athlete! Bring your running shoes and a teammate to share a mountain bike with and join us for a leap-frog style 10k tag-team race! Both team members are required to alternate biking (approx 3 mi) and running (approx 3 mi) and there is a mandatory belly crawl thru the mudpit to get to the finish line! Teams can be co-ed or not. There is even a Costume Contest for the best dressed-up team…so don’t let your Halloween Costume go to waste!!

It’s Survey Time! The LOTS Program is now 2 years old. To help us plan the future direction of the Program, I am asking all 200+ of you to complete a short easy survey. While some of you have never returned to the ADT Event Center since your first Certification Class, others of you practically live there! In order to help us meet your needs and to improve the quality of the LOTS Program, I am asking all of you to complete this survey. Please & Thank you!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ladies Only Tshirts ~ Just in time for the holidays! At the request of many of you in recent months, we are finalizing the details of a really nifty LOTS Tshirt to help celebrate the 2 year Anniversary of the LOTS Program. This fundraiser will also bring some much needed finances into the program allowing us to grow LOTS into 2009. The Tshirts will be slightly fitted and nicely feminine in a high quality fabric. Sizes will range from XS-XLg. As soon as I have a picture and a firm price, I will post it here along with info on how you can order yours!

Elite Track Nationals ~ Thank you everyone for making this a fantastic event!! Congratulations to all the new National Track Champions! Race results and pictures are posted on cyclingnews.com.
