man, yall are making this more and more appealing. i'm interested in this more for the workout aspect at this point than actually competing. sitting in front of a computer and and getting older is not good for me.

Bike Racing 101 Interest?
There is some chatter about putting on a "Bike Racing 101" clinic/event at the Oval on a Saturday in May, led by Steevo and Chris Mayhew. Length would be maybe an hour or so, with (I assume) some actual riding. Cost would be in the neighborhood of $10, which might include some sort of treats or something.
Is this something folks would be interested in doing?
2009-04-21 15:17:14
Yep,I would attend if I'm in town.
I could probably provide some additional items as incentives to attend.
2009-04-21 16:42:29
definitely. as long as im not laughed off for showing up with my 20 year old raleigh record ace.
2009-04-21 17:10:38
I'd be in.
2009-04-21 17:45:22
I would be very interested.
2009-04-21 20:30:18
what they all said. especially erok.
2009-04-21 20:57:04
i'd be interested. shake and bake!
2009-04-22 12:29:06
I'm interested provided its not the first saturday or third saturday in may. I'll either be in the middle of the state or watching cocksparrer in austin.
2009-04-22 15:33:05
Yeah, I would be interested in this.
2009-04-23 20:45:24
bump. let's book a day. can't do the 16th, but could do the 9th or 23rd.
2009-04-30 12:52:38
I'm down if the date/time ends up being one I can make. $10 is quite reasonable.
2009-04-30 20:01:57
can girls come?
or is there a separate thing for women? i know amy did one once during bike fest but i couldnt make it.
also i am not in fast bike shape these days. boo.
2009-05-04 04:45:20
girls should definitely come to this!
2009-05-04 13:33:31
I'm interested, too. I could make the 23rd, but not the 9th.
2009-05-04 19:36:19
We're shooting for the 23rd. I should have many details worked out tomorrow....
2009-05-04 20:59:12
word. now all i need is a road bike...
2009-05-04 21:11:03
Another heads up--this may get pushed 'til BikeFest because of permits/paperwork/etc.
2009-05-05 13:46:14
if its not til august the shifter on my road bike might actually work by then. ha. no really.
2009-05-07 03:12:37
Bump.
Looks like we're doing this on Saturday, 20 June. The clinic will run about 90 minutes (give or take). Cost should be under $20.

2009-05-20 13:59:24
darn... i am also hosting a class on saturday. but its about trees, etc. hopefully there will be another one?
2009-05-20 14:14:43
Trees?
Cool!
I can usually drop a tree.
Mick
2009-05-20 15:22:04
i'm gonna try to make it.
2009-05-21 23:01:31
I'm currently working on reducing the cost by $5 or so per person, so keep that in mind as you make your decision.
2009-05-22 10:30:49
Note the new (lower!) prices:
$5 for current USAC license holders
$10 for everyone else (includes USAC one day license)
Cost includes insurance.
2009-05-29 16:43:47
sweet. i'm excited. my road rig isn't pretty but it'll do until i get hooked or give up.
2009-05-29 21:37:17
Now I just need to piece together something that looks like a road bike.
2009-05-30 01:03:19
thanks steevo!
