This Weeks Practices

Tuesday will be Spin Class at Pedal Spin Studio with Coach Rick. Try to be there at 3:30 for a 3:45 start. Bring water, cycling shoes (with pedals if you have non-shimano cleats) or sneakers and dress to sweat. (East end of Honolulu just west of Anderson Pet Shop)

The first 12 students who ask me for it can have an MP3 CD with Banner’s “Exercise Mix” of music selections.

Thursday – weather Permitting – will be on the bike at the entrance to Descanso (not CV Park) at 4pm. There is a chance of rain so if it is raining practice will be Spin Class at 3:30 instead. I will try to send out an e-mail by around noon if Descanso on-the-bike workout is replaced by Spin Class, but use your judgment.

Saturday will be 9am (instead of 10) at the entrance to Descanso Gardens. 9am to Noon. Hopefully El Nino will let us get in our weekend workout in the hills.

League Racing Info

Hello League Riders, Parents, and Coaches!With the 2009 Race Series beginning next month we wanted to give a friendly reminder regarding rider registration. To ensure that everything goes smoothly on race day, it is important that you register early so you can verify that all the information is correct.The full registration process includes filling out all the information online, mailing the forms back to us, then submitting payment via check or credit card.
Based on forecasted 2010 participation, 10% of riders have finished the online portion, and 5% have returned the required forms.Also, please remember that there is a special deal for first-time ever League racers where they can register for the first race only for $50 then pay the difference after they decide whether or not they would like to race for the rest of the season.
Thank you,
Mike

P.S. Mark this in your Calendars and start thinking about transportation for yourself and your team mates:

On Saturday, February 20th, 9am, the Pasadena Mountain Biking Club (pmbc.org) will be hosting a Training Ride with experienced coaches and refreshments geared for ALL SoCal High School skill levels. That will be our GUSD practice ride on that day. It is at Bonelli Park in San Dimas (@ 45 minute drive) so we will need to line up transportation ahead of time.
The Foothill Composite & St. Francis teams are invited too.
