Just a reminder that we are having a GREAT Family Safety fair on July 11th. This fair will be located at the new Stop and Shop in Stonington CT on 91 Voluntown RD. For more information, please do not hesitate to e mail me at h.a.b.s@cox.net.

Bring your helmet and get them sized. Don't have one? I will gladly be donating childrens' helmets to the kids that need them.

Come learn bike safety, beach safety, fire safety and have lunch on us! There will be face painting too. GREAT family activity. From 11-2 p.m.

See you there,

Time Trials

I did my first time trial on Thursday evening. I accomplished a 10k in 19.3 minutes. Lets see how I do next week..... It was fun and challenging. Thank you to the guys that road around with me after. I have to say, I have met great people since I joined Pequot Cycling Club. I have my first race on the 12th in New Britain. Hope to see you there. I'll post some pics:)


Best Wishes,

Nancy

HILLS! HILLS! HILLS!

Tonight I'm attempting my first Crit practice. We'll see how it goes.
