6-12-11: Graduation day for LLU and other schools today! Even so, we had a group of regulars show up, along with 2 new cyclists and members to TCF show up: Elena and Bill! They were also sporting brand new bikes, so this was the inauguration for both bicycle and rider.
Check out the pics in the slide show and see how they did!
Next Ride: Sunday, June 26, 8:30 AM. I will be coming back from Honduras that day, so won't be there at the ride, but I hope that there are enough regulars that show up that can help get things going in my absence! Maybe I'll have to remind Jason to show up and see if someone from Cyclery USA can be there for sure. ;-)
Getting dirty on other Sundays!
If you like to ride off road, in the dirt, then be sure to check this site or better yet, get on Twitter and get my tweets when I'll be riding last-minute in the hills! Unless I'm otherwise booked up, I usually like to take Roxy on a mtn. bike ride in the AM before it gets too hot (tho it's been cool lately). So if you're wondering if I'm riding in the AM, text or e-mail me the night before, or stay tuned to a tweet if I'm going to hit the dirt with my Klein and Roxy!
Oct. 9, Riverside Citrus Classic
I've always wanted to do a 50-mile ride, and this may be the best chance to do a supported one, for only $45 and helps 2 non-profit charities (Riverside Educational Enrichmen Foundation & the Alvord Educational Foundation).
Oct. 9 happens to fall on the 2nd Sun. of Oct., so this could take the place of are usual ride! If you're interested in doing this, I will make a special e-mail list and keep in touch with you and maybe we can have some extra rides or go further as we build up and train for this ride. I haven't ridden this far before, so will be looking for a training plan, just like they have for doing a half or full marathon.
So let me know if you're interested in having this as a goal because now is a great time to start training!!!

Thx again for all those who come out, and I hope you have a good showing on June 26--someone take some pictures! I'll think of you all as I'm flying back from Honduras!
