Hello SYVCC

The 2025 SYVCC Club Tee Shirts are at DR J’s, please come by and grab yours.

Because of the extreme heat, we are going to start both rides this Saturday at 8:30a. Same location, Solvang Park. 

We have 30 signed up so far for the last TT of the year. TO and I will be working on the teams next week, and have them out to the club by next Saturday.

🐂 2025 Vuelta a SYV 🐂 – Join a Team!

 

¡Hola Amigos! As we approach the end of summer, it means the final SYV grand tour is right around the corner – the Vuelta a SYV. Get ready to ride two segments for the Vuelta this year, one individual and one team. The Vuelta will begin on September 1st and end on September 14th. Make sure to fuel up on Jamon Iberico and Patatas Bravas because we need you on a team! 

 

Sponsoring the Vuelta a SYV this year is Firestone Walker Brewery. Each participant (must be 21) will receive a cerveza to enjoy during their siesta after the Vuelta ends. Aging like a fine Tempranillo, these cans of beer have been on ice in the cooler from our summer cookout. ¡Muy refrescante!

 

For the team awards, riders on the first place team will win a $20 Dr. J’s gift card, second place will win a $10 Dr. J’s gift card, and the third place team will win a $5 Dr. J’s gift card. On the individual side, the 🟥 Maillot Rojo 🟥 (a $25 Dr. J’s gift card) will be won by the male and female rider with the fastest overall time of the 2 segments.

 

If you’re interested in participating in the Vuelta a SYV or have any questions, please email Jeff Thomson or Thompson Ogilvie.

*A few more notes*

-Be safe! You are responsible for your own safety.

-Be a good representative of cycling in the valley (be courteous to drivers)

-Strava is our source of truth for these competitions. You will need to have your effort uploaded to Strava, so make sure your GPS bike computer is charged, or have your strava app track the ride.

-No drafting on the individual segment, only the team one.

-In the last few TT’s, the winning teams have been separated by less than 30 seconds, so it’s always really close.

-Encourage your fellow SYVCC Members
