Wanted to let everyone know that instead of running onTuesday's August 30th and September 6, 13, 20, and the 27th I will be racing at the criterium at Woodlands Park on Waters Avenue. The race starts at 6:30pm and is a 30 lap race each lap is .8 miles. They will still have the run for anyone that wants to go at the Running Center at 7pm. Anyone that wants to work on their bike skills can come to the race, it costs $8 and is a real challenge. Also if you just want to ride Jodi, Katie and several other riders go to do a 15-17 mile pace around the course in the opposite direction and have a great casual ride and a good ride for any BEGINNERS. To get to Woodlands you head west on Waters from Dale Mabry and turn left into Woodlands about 2 miles down just before you cross the railroad tracks. Take the 2nd right once in Woodlands and park down on the left. Look for the bikes.

We will be riding at San Antonio on Sunday's the 4th, 11th, 18th, and 25th of September directions are as follows, we will meet at 7:15 AM to get there you drive up hwy 75 to the exit for SR 52 turn right, East go to blinking light then turn left onto Curly Rd and go down till a green sign for bicycles and turn left at the lumber yard and parking lot is on right.
Be ready to leave at 7:30 am. This is a 40 mile ride in the rolling hills and speeds range from 16-22mph. Not a beginner ride, we will have directions to hand out for anyone that shows.
The next tech class is September 22nd Thursday at 7pm. If you want to attend please email or call to put your name on the list. We will email you on the 19th of September to remind you of the class.

We are going to be having an Urban Assault ride on September 14th at 8 pm downtown. Meet at the shop at 7 pm or downtown at Walgreen's at the corner of Bayshore and Platt at 7:45 pm. Just behind the Publix's. A typical Urban consist of us on mountain bikes and hybrids riding thru streets and parking garages throughout downtown, Ybor, Channelside, and sometimes Hyde Park. We usually get 12-18 miles in and have lots of rest times while some riders do jumps and tricks at different locations.

Be sure to stop by and talk to Manny, he just got back from a Trek Travel trip to the Canadian Rockies. He has stories of snow, bears, and of course lots of great riding.
