Hi all,

CRC is planning the 2010 Wintergreen Ascent for May 1. Tonight we have our first organizational meeting. If you are interested in joining the organizational committee, the meeting is 6 PM tonight at Shenadoah Joes coffee shop.

Also, I know racing and training is very expensive. So if you are looking to save some money, volunteer yourself, or your family and friends, and get a free entry into the race. If you volunteer on race day, you can get a free entry to another CRC event. Shoot me an email if you are interested, and I will hook you up!

Ok on Saturday I am riding from my house at 10AM doing the Saturday loop- should be out to Reas Ford/Earlysville Rd by 10:20 (doing some hill intervals).

Sunday doing the Tevendale gravel ride.

Also note there are two more Tuesday Night Trainer sessions. DST starts March 14th, the Tuesday-Thursday Earlysville rides start the following week.

The first Wooden Bridges TT ride is Wednesday March 31 starting from 6PM.

A few people have asked me about the Dismal Dash- it is March 14th.

from Brad Yoder:

Charlottesville Racing Club Members,

I am very pleased to announce that this year’s club kits will be manufactured by Sugoi. I do not have order dates/deadlines yet and a fit kit should be here around the middle of the month, please take advantage of it. For now here are the pieces were are planning to offer and the associated cost. Below is a more detailed description of each item.

Hi all,

With the Winter Storm Warning and high amounts of snow predicted it is very likely we may have to post-pone the Holiday party a day (Sunday Night at 7 PM) unless the snow stops in time for the roads to be clear for the party.

We will make the final call on Saturday by noon. Obviously the CRC Shop Ride is canceled it is does snow.

Thanks,

Eric

Saturday- the Shop Ride is back! 10am from the Cville Bike parking lot: 42 miles of fun.

Saturday Night- the CRC Holiday Party- 7PM at my place (620 Ridgemont Road Earlysville VA 22936). Friends of CRC and those interested in joining are also welcome. Food/Drinks/Fun (aka beer and wine fueled Wii sessions) in the 5th (I think) annual event.

Hi all,

Monday Aug 17th at 6PM is the next Wooden Bridges TT.

Now that the 2009 Road season is over for me, I am looking to turn over some of the gear before the 2010 stuff is ordered. I have had multiple inquiries on most of my stuff (I think I am developing a reputation. . .) so thought it would be easier to send one email then try and remember everyone who wanted my Strikes. Remember these deals are for CRC/TriClub members only.

Stuff I am actively looking to move:

Lots of speed out there tonight!

here are the results:
