Halló Medlem!
As you may already know, it is Bike to Work Week, and I am attempting to take part. However, being an unreasonable triathlete, I can't help but get the urge to drop the hammer as soon as I clip in. I am always beaming when I come clopping in, red-faced and encased in spandex and sweat. Perhaps my co-workers are less excited, but that's what the shower in the basement is (theoretically) for. Anyhow, I hope you are also logging some good miles. In the mean time, here's some reading for you about what's new with the club.
Dexter to Ann Arbor Volunteering - If you are not running on May 31st, but want to cheer on the loads of folks who are, you should volunteer. Even if you are running the 5K or 10K, you can still help with handing out medals. If you are interested, shoot a note to volunteer@dexterannarborrun.com.
Feedback
I am once again going to call on you, the lovely members, to tell me what you really want. As you may know, the cost for placing semi-custom/custom apparel is based upon the number of items ordered. I would like to get a feel for what all of you are interested in buying (if anything.) Also, one of our sponsors, EST Events, is planning a swim clinic exclusively for Ann Arbor Tri Club members. I would like to determine the time that works best for all of you. I have put together a short survey, and would really appreciate your feedback. Please find the survey here.
In other news, we're famous! The Ann Arbor Tri Club is one of the featured clubs on the USAT Mideast website. Check us out, along with other good info about our region, here.
