intro
Greetings time trial fans! The Beat the Clock and Help Beat Cancer Time Trial Series is entering its fourth year. In our first three years, we raised over $64,000 for the Lance Armstrong Foundation. Not too shabby for riding bikes up and down Cañada Road and once in awhile up Old La Honda.
In 2008 we are adding a new venue which should be very exciting – the Hellyer Park Velodrome has agreed to let us host a time trial on the track! Road bikes will be welcome. This is very rare, and a golden opportunity to try out the new facility, try out the track in general, and find out how you are doing in a totally controlled environment. There has been discussion that a road bike might indeed be faster on the track than a track bike, depending on the event. This we will be able to test.
We are also planning a mini-marathon workout session at Al Painter's new studio. It will include core strength training, spinning on personal road bikes with triple A+ coach Dan Smith, and a solid hour of alignment and stretching using the Franklin Method and Pilates with Owen Grady and Mary Lachapelle. Check the schedule for dates and other details.
That's it for now. We are looking forward to a most excellent season.
