Killington Elevation

The elevation profile for the Vermont ride is now available on the JDRF Ride site. I don't know about you...but that big climb at the end looks like a ball and a half of fun! Can't wait!!

Documentary Update

"More Than 100 Miles: Riding to Cure Diabetes" will be shown at the Muskegon Film Festival this Saturday, May 30. It is part of Documentary Session #2 which runs from 4:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. in the Starboard Theatre. That's one of the two screening rooms inside the Harbor Theatre. For more information and directions go to their web site www.muskegonfilmfestival.com. There is also a festival beer garden next to the theatre where I hear you can meet the director. :)

The film also won an award in the Grand Rapids Festival of the Arts and will be shown multiple times throughout Festival weekend. Dates are June 5, 6 & 7 and the screening location is the Grand Rapids Art Museum. More info on their website www.festivalgr.org.

Unfortunately we did not make it into the Waterfront Film Festival. However, the documentary is now being entered in some out of state festivals. We will be posting the results as they come in.

Hey y'all...some folks are planning to meet at Velo City at 9:00am on Memorial Day morning for a ride. Route and details to come, but c'mon out and join us before your afternoon plans if you like!

CANNONDALE DEMO DAY SUNDAY!

I've noticed a certain amount of mountainbike talk amongst various members of the Team lately.....which is kinda cool. There's an opportunity this Sunday to try a buncha cool Cannondale bikes (mountain AND road!) on the sweet trails and good roads near Cannonsburg Ski Area. The C-Dale Demo Truck will be there from noon 'til at least 5:00 and you can demo crazy-expensive bikes to your little heart's content!

Also - the local C-Dale rep, Jason Edinger, will be there. He's been a HUGE supporter of our team for years noiw si if you go be sure to introduce yourself and thank him! (Especially if you're riding a C-Dale that he helped you get!)

I'll be there by mid-afternoon......hope I see ya!

BULLETIN BULLETIN BULLETIN

We had to do a bit of shifting around of locations for our next ride, scheduled for Sunday 5/31. We’ll now meet for a 2:00pm roll-out at Johnson Park, 2600 Wilson Avenue, Walker. We'll plan on a pot luck picnic of sorts in the park afterward, so bring something along if you like. Think we can break our own attendance record?

OK, now scroll down and vote for a t-shirt entry!
