Team Mtg - Sunday

(This was sent as an email to all parents for whom I have addresses, with the following exceptions...please see that your parents/guardians read this: Donovan, Lizzy, Pablo, Ricardo, Marcos, Ashley)

We will be having our monthly team meeting this coming Sunday, Feb. 7th at 1:30pm following practice at that clubhouse. We will be discussing the preparation needed to make the 24 hour event happen, among other things, with a special visit from Carmichael Training Systems, who have signed on to sponsor us and help out!

In advance of the meeting, I have attached the food list sign up sheet and gear lists that coaches prepared to give you a heads up. Please look this over before we meet so we can better answer questions about who needs what, and who can help out with what for the 24 hour event.

It is extremely important that each rider have the gear on this list (below), and if they don't that they let us know on Sunday so we can arrange to find this gear for the rider. If you have extra stuff, also let us know that. As far as the "camp" list goes, the main items that we need help with are in bold (namely, water, fire wood and one fire pit)

Please let me know if you have questions, hope to see you all Sunday.

Take care, Daniela & Ignacio

You must have everything on this list in your possesion before you leave for the race. Coaches and
some of the other parents have extra gear so please ask for it, if you do not have something.
It tends to be very cold at night so please bring appropriate clothes. Also the last 2 years it has
rained so again pack intelligently.

All of this stuff must fit into one normal size duffel bag. It should. If your stuff doesn't fit, look at your
chosen stuff and I bet you can down size some. Of course I am not including your tent and
sleeping stuff in the duffel bag.

Be smart about your gear selection and remember cotton kills--it does not work for this event!
