Ladies, Leona is building a women's specific jersey order. You will need to email Leona and let her know if you want to order ASAP. She can verify cost, but if I remember correctly, they are $70 each so please check with her first. I saw samples and they are really nicely made and should last a long time. Below is the mock-up art work and women's size chart. You will need to provide Leona check (payable to C4) or cash for payment. This is a limited order so pay attention to the sizes carefully.

I would appreciate it if you could get the word out that my wife and I had our bikes stolen today from our garage. I was supposed to compete in a tri event tomorrow in Raleigh but will have to cancel that one. I have an Ironman I am doing in September and must now find a new bike. Hopefully the home owners will cover this. I will provide the types and colors of the bikes below. Thanks for all the assistance and hopefully we will be able to get our bikes back. We only have a photo of the Softride and I have included it below. Red Softride Qualifier TT w/HED-3 wheels and Vision Aerobars. White and purple Cannondale F6 mountain bike. Sincerely, Barton

Join us in being part of somehting special that you will remember fondly for a long time. We are seeking prople with a desire to share the sport of cycling and friendship to learn to be a coach for the area special olympic athletes. Here is the info from Nicole who is the area rep.

Hey Guys. I hope this info finds everyone doing well. We finish our Midsummer Sports in a couple of weeks and it will soon be time to start planning for our fall cycling season.  I thought I would email all of our coaches and see who would like to help/be available for our second season. Practice times/places would be determined by your schedules of availability.  It looks like we will have even more athletes this year and have managed to get a couple of bikes donated. Alex will be returning to go for the gold this year; FaFa is still undecided although we hope he will return. We have a few guys who are new to the sport and are excited to give it a shot and for the first time we have a couple of ladies interested in joining the team.
 
SONC has released dates for our qualifier: We get to pick which date works best:
Qualifier #1 Sept 20, Qualifier # 2 Sept 27 If for some reason those get rained out the make-up date is Oct 4. Fall Games is set for Nov 7-9.

If you can be of assistance during any of the season please let me know. I look forward to hearing from you guys.

Greg Combs has been and continues to write articles for numerous media outlets such as USA Cycling. This is an excerpt from the latest. Please click more info for the whole article.

The most common reason people contact me for rider positioning is to address dis-comfort on the bike. Recently, three clients complained of discomfort with their feet. Since the foot is the contact point with the cycling pedal, problems with the foot are not uncommon to cyclists. Fortunately, most problems are fixable.
