Hello SYVCC Looks like we are going to get some good riding weather coming up next week. On the ride today Kim Bleth was like a little kid before Christmas with the upcoming hot weather…. There is going to be a fun local cycling event at Vandenberg Space Force Base coming up. It sounds like a great low key event with both a MTB race and a Grand Fondo with a couple of options of miles. it would be fun to get a good group from the club to participate and support a local Cycling event. Here is the link to the event’s web sit https://www.vandenbergfss.com/space-country-classic/ Look out for details for our first Club Team Time Trial this year which will be in May The Giro D’ SYV 2025. Thompson Ogilve and I are working on the two segments for this. It will be one group segment and one individual segment. Prizes for the 3 fastest teams and the fastest Man and Woman will be awarded with gift cards from Dr J’s. Our time trial series have become one of the signature riding events for the club, and we hope you come out and give it a try. Everyone from the club is encouraged to join a team.
