Transition Clinic Reminder - Wednesday at 6pm

Just a reminder to come learn how to lay out your transition area, what to bring, how transitions work (smoothly), how the individual tri's are laid out, and what to practice at home and in training to make raceday run like clockwork. No makeups for this one, but a good book to pickup is Triathlon 101 if you are unable to attend. Also check your TriROK folder for your equipment list if you aren't able to come.

Ride is OFF but Clinic is ON

Fortunately the weather cleared enough for us to get a COUPLE of clinics in but even though the weather is ok, I am calling off this morning's ride because the roads are SO wet and the conditions are fairly miserable (windy and cold) and will not be good prep for those racing at 10am. HOWEVER clinic people (Melanie, Jen, Shawn) should still come at 7:30. - I'll be there with bells on and we'll get you ready for the next group ride which will probably be next Saturday morning at 8am :) Anybody who wants to extra practice and is up any (Beth Lott :) feel free to join us and maybe we'll take a couple of mile jaunt to give things a try on the roads.

Bike Clinic Decisions

OK, here's the plan since the weather may not cooperate on sunday, and lots of people can't make the friday, April 3rd alternative date.

Saturday:
We will meet at Hamilton Wenham High School (Route 1A in Hamilton) at 3pm on Saturday, March 28th. Meet in the far lefthand parking lot if you are facing the school (by the northernmost driveway on Route 1A). If you need to learn clipless pedals try to come by 2:45pm (Liz, Beth, etc.) so you can get comfy with them before we start. Jenn Flaherty - I will bring an extra bike for you so you can come :) Please make an effort to come to this time if there is anyway you can, since the sunday one will probably be rained out and the friday time will be squished. Please RSVP either way.

Sunday:
We will ALSO meet at 10am at the High School on Sunday, March 29th IF IT IS NOT RAINING (much). I will put a decision up on the blog by 9am, and you can call me at 978-768-3112 to find out as well. So if you plan on holding out to try to attend on Sunday because you can't come Saturday (Jen Cann, Jason Morris, etc.) then just email me and let me know for sure.

Friday April 3rd:
Then we will also meet at 5:30pm on Friday, April 3rd but that will be in the parking lot behind the Essex Police Station on Martin Street in Essex.

For all clinics:
You MUST bring a helmet. You bike should be tuned up and safe to ride. I will bring tools for limited fixes, but need to spend my time teaching, not tuning bikes ;)

Can't wait to get out and RIDE!!!!
