Calaveras TT results – Sunday December 4th, 2011

Dec 4, 2011 Time Trial, Training

A most excellent morning. Not a breath of wind, but on the chilly side, even though the sun was shining. All ion all, what you would want a typical December morning to look like.

Both Bill and Bas where on full TT rigs, Bill was riding the Team’s Leopard. Chris M was on aero bars

We had some guests as well riding, which added some nice flavor to the morning.

And i would like to really thank the Krush, aka Keith Kruse, who drove out from Milpitas to act as the turn marsahal and who brought back all the course marking. Thanks Keith, you rock.

Team

Today is when we hopefully will have good weather, and plenty of unattached riders can come and talk to Team Fremont members about what we can offer them.

If it does rain, the MTD date goes back to January 30th.

It would be great if we can get lot’s of members out to both ride and represent the team at the team tent set-up. Plans are very preliminary at the moment, but hopefully it will be like last year, where we had coffee, burittos, etc

Carry on, Gaz out

Core Strength and Stretching

Nov 27, 2010 Events, Training

I am not much of an evangelist, but having suffered by NOT stretching and working on my core, i will stand on a soap box and encourage you to both attend this session and if not, do your own program of stretches and core strength exercises.

This event is presented by Team Fremont and will be hosted by Elite Sports Physical Therapy (ESPT) at their facility in Warm Springs. Jacon Chun will be leading us thru a series of exercises,, so please come prepared to work.
