News & Workouts This Week
Update on Moving Location of Thursday Bricks
Thanks to everyone who sent me suggestions on alternate locations to hold the Thursday evening bricks! For right now, we're holding off on changing the location. Why? Construction begins next week on Huron River Drive between Main Street and Bird Road. This will probably decrease traffic, thereby helping to resolve one of the main problems with this route. If we notice that traffic becomes manageable after the construction begins, we'll probably keep the route as it is. Note: Starting next week, you'll need to take Newport to Bird Road in order to reach Barton Park. Email me (rusty@aatriclub.org) if you need directions.
Tri Club Women: Want an Official A2 Tri Club Bra Top?
I've heard from a couple of members who would like me to order bike tops/bra tops for women with the Tri Club logo emblazoned on the front. Our screen printing company will silkscreen our logo on any piece of clothing we request, so if you would prefer a bra top over a club shirt, let me know (rusty@aatriclub.org). I'll put your name on a list and email you later with an update on sizing/style information. If I get enough interest, I'll add these to our next order. Extra tops will be available at cost.
Tri Club Women: Club Racing Uniforms Available at 20% Off
While we're on the topic of official club clothing, I still have a bunch of women's Tri Club tops and shorts available, especially in smaller sizes. These are two-piece racing uniforms made of lycra and nylon. You can wear them from start to finish in your race without needing to change clothes in transition. If you're interested, let me know. I'm selling them at a 20% discount because we need to move these out. The tops cost $40 each and the shorts cost $40. I can bring them to workouts for you to try on, too.
***Workouts This Week***
Brick TONIGHT (Weather Permitting)
Meet this evening at 6pm at Barton Park in Ann Arbor for a kickin' brick workout. Provided it's not raining, we'll ride 17 miles to Dexter and back and then follow it with an optional 2-4 mile run. Cookies and Gatorade at the finish! Directions: http://aatriclub.org/workouts/
Note: Use EXTREME CAUTION on the ride. It's early in the season and lot of potholes haven't been patched yet. Also, traffic can be heavy at times and drivers aren't used to bike rides on the road yet.
