CLUB
WORKOUTS

Thursday, July 8th at 6pm
Brick - 
Please be ready to ride at 6 sharp.  Meet at the entrance to Bandemeer
Park where Barton Dr and Whitmore Lake meet. There are two
routes: the 26 mile long route - check out the route here - long
route
, and the new 16 mile shorter route - check out the route here
- short route. There are several trail options for
running, so you can
really do whatever you like. Also, for reference, there is more parking
on the other side of the wooden bridge.

Friday, July 9th at
6:30pm

Swim/Run - You know you want to jump in a lake right now.
The outdoor
swim is this Friday at Silver 
Lake
. Join us at 6:30 for a dip in the lake. The course is usually
about 400 m and you may  want to wear a wetsuit to practice for your
races, though it's warm enough without it.  If  you feel up to it
afterward, the wonderful trails of the Potawatami are adjacent for a
nice  run.  Bring bug spray - the flies are pesky.

Saturday,
July 10th
and
Sunday, July 11th

There

is no official club ride or run on these days (except of course, the
Waterloo Triathlon/Duathlon). 
However, keep an eye (and inbox) open for emails or check out the

this week. 

Tuesday,
July 13th
Gallop Park - alternating 400 m (12x fast) – 1
mile each way.  Meet at the
wooden bridge.
