Groton Block Party

I have given away many helmets, but never as many as this event in one day!

Thanks to the help of Safe Kids of New London County (Thank you Esther) , Groton Police department, Mystic Velos and my new friend Melissa, we educated and donated almost 90 helmets in one event!

Parents received helmets too! Great job leading by example:)

We discussed the effects of brain injuries, how a helmet should fit and the importance of following the rules of the road.

I am so proud to be a part of a community that cares so much about the children. We are so fortunate to have such wonderful and caring adults in our immediate areas.

As for the mystic Velos, GO GIRLS! you rock! What a wonderful team to be a part of.

Hopefully a few of us will be doing a 2 day race in New Hampshire together:)

I'll keep you posted,

Warmest Regards,

Nancy

Family Safety fair...

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You to everyone that helped. The kids had fun and so did the adults:) Stop and Shop was so supportive as well as all my partners in crime: (People's United Bank, Mystic Chamber, Mystic Cycle, The Stonington Police station and Thank you for the smoke house Pawcatuck Fire department)

We made a difference, showed these families that the community DOES care about their children and reinforced the importance of wearing a bike helmet......

Be Well,

Nancy

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

So when I joined Mystic Velo cycling team, I did not expect the hills:) kidding.... I have to tell you, We did about 12 miles of hills. It was so fun and what a work out. Who says you can't have fun and have a hard work out? That person never trained with this team:)

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

I'll post pics later.

Till Than,
