Climb to Kaiser Lead Out

Eric Zentner of Fresno Cycling club has contacted us about doing the lead out for the climb to kaiser, this Saturday June 26th....We have done that the past 3 years and it has actually been fun...They will provide us with wrist bands for the rest stops, food, etc...

We need to have as many SPOC riders as possible, and you are not required to ride beyond the corral on watts valley...many of us are going to go to the top of Tollhouse and then descend home through Alder Springs...should be home by 11:30ish

Eric Zentner asked that we be there, (north side of Buchanan HS on Teague), by 5am for wrist band dispersal, and ready to roll out at 5:30am out 22-24 mph pace...the more guys we have, the less you have to work...this is an important community effort as part of our team effort to promote cycling...

What's Really Been Going On

It's been a little while since we have had a race results posting, so he's a brief update...

Rumor has it that Matt Paliughi has acquired enough points to upgrade to a 3. Not too bad for a guy that had a pretty bad crash during the Crit at the Madera Stage Race that broke his frame. This guy knows how to ride hard. Congratulations Matt!

Parting shot:

Brian Bosch at Copperopolis P1/2. Not sure what's going on here, but at least he's smiling.

Tues / Thurs World Championships

It's almost time to see who the giant of Friant Rd is, who can serve up the most hate before Rd. 208 or who can summon the thunder for the sprint in Pumpkin Valley. Do you think you have what it takes to be a champion every Tues or Thurs night? It's that time of year when anyone can be champion, beat up on your buddies or enjoy a fast paced training ride. The last idea is probably the least realistic. Just bring your friends (if you have any) and have fun.

Details

Day(s): Tuesday and Thursday, starting March 16th

Time: 5:30 pm (time will change as the days get longer)

Meeting Location: Copper and Willow
