Team Evergreen Racing Weekly News - Thursday April 12th, 2007

• Welcome to the TER weekly news.  This email news goes out to all team members early Thursday mornings.

• Hill Climb / Training Ride - Sat April 14/Sunday, April 15th.   (directions)

  The Saturday ride is uncertain as of today. If there is snow on the ground on Sat. at 9am, there will not be an organized ride on Saturday.
  BUT, if the snow melts on Saturday (and we think it will!), we will ride Sunday.
  Two Sunday start options.  Option 1) Rally at the Morrison/Rooney Rd spot on Sunday, ready to ride by 9:00 am. We’ll ride up to the start of the TE club ride (click here). Option 2) Meet at the TE club ride start at 10am.
   

• Tues. TT and interval training -  Every Tuesday through July

  Change of day: Training rides have been switched to Tuesdays (beginning April 24th),  to accommodate people who want to participate in the Cherry Creek TT series and/or the Wed. night Mt. bike rides.

  Note re: timing: If you rally and ride over from the Morrison/Rooney Rd. spot, please be ready to roll out by 4:45p so that you can group up with others and discuss the workout at the pillars by 5:20, and start riding by 5:30pm.

• Cyclo-Core - is our Title sponsor this season and has offered ALL TER racers access to their Cyclo-Core and Cyclo-Zen training packages at NO COST.

As these packages are worth $125 each, you must email Ted with your request and commitment to viewing the DVDs and arrange to pick them up or have mailed. Please go to: www.cyclo-core.com/EVERGREEN and listen to the message from Graeme Street for an overview of why TER has teamed up with Cyclo-Core and the benefits it has to offer everyone.
