Hello SYVCC
The May Club TT starts next week. Looks like we are going to have 5 teams of 6 riders. We can still add you to a team if you are interested. We will do the Segment on both the Wednesday group ride and both Saturday groups will do it next week.
Good Luck to everyone who is doing the Fondo/MTB Race this Saturday at the Base. Club Member Drew Schlieder has done an awesome job putting all of that together. The club is sponsoring the podium prizes so make sure to wear your club kit if your are riding.
Upcoming Club Team TT
We are going to have 3 Team TT’s this year to coincide with the Grand Tours.
We will have an all-club party on Aug 1st as well to wrap up the series.
Ciao! The very far western version of La Corsa Rosa is right around the corner – And we need you on the startlist!
We are hoping to have 7 balanced teams of 6 riders each of varying abilities. Your Team time will be a average of all the riders on your team, so everyone’s contribution helps.
Teams will be announced Sunday May 10th

A few notes:
-If you want to see who has done the route that week, click the weekly view tab on Stava for that Segment
-Ride the TT courses at least once (May 11th to May 17th) or as many times as you want.
-Upload your ride to Strava (you must have a GPS cycling computer OR use the Strava phone app to record your ride)
As a general reminder, here are a few rules we need to adhere to:
-be safe! you are responsible for your own safety
-Encourage your fellow SYVCC Members
-be a good representative of cycling in the valley (be courteous to drivers)
-time yourself with Strava if you want to see your results
– Drafting is encouraged. Try to ride with a group of similar abilities to maximize your time
-Everyone is encouraged to participate no matter how fast or slow you feel, we will balance the teams so everyone team will have a shot to win!
-The last few TT’s the winning teams have been separated by less than 30 seconds, so it’s always really close.
-Star the segment on the Strava App so you can see how you are pacing live on the segments
Good luck!
