Greetings!
This newsletter is packed with info, so pull up a (bike?) seat, take your time, and read with care. You don't want to miss out the shoe buy info or new event announced below!
It's race planning season! We'd like to hear what races you are planning on this year, including multisport, single sport, adventure races, and more. This will help the Club plan the tent's travel schedule and help you by connecting you with other members doing the same races.
We've started a Message Board thread to collect ideas and generate a 2012 Race List--Click here to view that thread. We've also started a poll for April races, if you're racing in April let us know!
Everyone can view the above Message Board links, but only registered and current 2012 Club members can post a reply. If you aren't registered on the new Message Boards yet, what are you waiting for? Go to sltc.websitetoolbox.com and click Register. Once you've confirmed your email address, we'll approve you and you can get posting.
And while you're in the Message Boards, be sure to fill out your profile page. You can include signature, pictures, and more. It helps other Club members get to know you. |
