Ultimate Run 

The first leg of the Fearsome Foursome, the Ultimate Run is coming up on Sunday, 29th Jan. This event is always a fun morning, rain or shine, as you get to spend some time on scenic trails with a bunch of your teammates. There will be a number of groups departing Woodside Primary School including a group for those who are planning to walk most of the way. Lindsay will be leading a group departing at 6am, and there will be departures at 6.30am, 6.50am and 7.10am. It will be cold at the start but you will warm as the run progresses so dress appropriately, layers are the best approach. 

Kirsten will mark the route the day before, and there will be white arrows at all the turns. If it is raining, they will be flagged. There will be a SAG at the top of Kings Mountain with Laura from Power Bar providing support. So if you have particular items you want to access at the top of King’s bring them and give them to Laura or myself beforehand. She will also have a supply of Power Bar product available.

Tim will be available in his usual role as pancake cooker on completion, and he is not too shabby!

Diversity Tour - Chinese New Year 10K 

The first event of the Diversity Tour, the Chinese New Year 10K takes place on Sunday, 19th Feb. The link for the website can be found at http://www.sanfranciscochinatown.com/events/ymcarun.html

When I checked on this the online registration form is for 2010, so they haven't updated it. Registration is available on the day.

Diversity Tour - Solvang Century

The second event on the Diversity Tour is the Solvang Century on March 11 (http://www.bikescor.com/solvang/). This event does sell out, and registration closes on 23rd Feb. Hani has secured a Team Sheeper group rate of $79/night at the Quality Inn in Santa Maria, so if you plan to do this event, take advantage of this and book soon. So we will have some idea of how many people are doing this, can you send me an email if you are planning to participate.

The code also applies to other races on the Wildflower weekend. For those of you who are new to the team, we will be camping together as a team, and further details will be provided as the event gets closer.

If it is raining, there will still be a ride leaving burgess at 8.30am, but there will also be an option to spin at Holbrook Palmer for 90 mins, starting at 9am. Tim will decide early on Saturday morning about the spin option and I will send out an email by 6.30am.
