Save the Dates




These pics are from the 2008 Blue Loop. Can you identify who these people are?


Thanks everyone for posting about the contract. This will help us all in moving forward, so that we all know what to expect from our teammates. We as coaches are trying very hard to provide you guys with the best team possible and it is encouraging to know that you are all behind us.

In moving forward with this fall, there are a few dates/ events coming up that I want to bring to everyone's attention. Some will be mandatory, others not. We will be scheduling our September team meeting soon to go over these and answer questions. This is more of a "heads up"!


Dates:

August 28th Saturday- Safety Fair at Desert Dove Church 9am set up till 2pm
This is on the super south side, by Pablo's house. This will be just like all the others we have done in the past. I will set up an obstacle course and you will lead younger kids through it. Very fun. For those of you that are Bike Ambassadors this is a paid gig. I will need a lot of help and I am expecting a few of you ambassadors to be there. Please post and let me know.

September 1st Wednesday- Helping Kathleen and Logan move
They are just changing houses within Stone Curves. We have been asked to help. We can do this during practice hours. If you ride home from practice, then no problem. If you get picked up then their house is at the corner of Stone and Limberlost. Call for best directions.

September 4th, 5th, 6th GABA Blue Loop
If you are going then your paper work is in. We do not know how much you will need to pay, but it will be nominal as always. This will be my third year on the trip and first with Damiano and without Max. www.bikegaba.com

September 11th, Saturday - The Giving Tree bike repairs
We have volunteered El Grupo to help needy, homeless kids with their bicycles from 9am -3pm out at their location. We will be making minor repairs, patching tubes, lubing chains, etc to get their bicycles back in working order. There will be a cookout going and fun to be had while we contribute our skills to a worthy cause. More details on this later.

September 18th Saturday - EL Tour Fun Run
The PBAA, the organization that puts on the El Tour, has graciously set up a work trade program for us so that we do not have to pay the full amount for the event. This is our first opportunity to put in some hours. This is a MANDATORY event. I really want you all there. More info to come but please mark this one.

September 26th, Sunday - HoCo Family Arts Festival bike valet parking
We will be providing free bike valet parking for all those who choose to use it at this super cool, family friendly arts festival in front of Hotel Congress downtown. It will be a block party from 10am-5pm and we will need your help to staff the bike valet in 1-2 hour shifts, at most. This is an easy and yet wonderful service we can do for the community, and a great way for others to learn about and support us.

thanks everyone
Ignacio

For those who can help us move....there is the option of swimming here afterward (more cross-training!) and I, of course, will have snacks. We don't have that much to move and I don't expect it will take more than 60-90 minutes...Thanks in advance if you can help!

Logan said...
