Hey Fellow MCC’ers!

Well, it’s fall and that means that the club meetings are starting back up, ‘cross season is upon us and that there are only a few big tours left to ride! As much of a downer as that might be – let’s remember that this can be some of the best riding of the year here on the “Third Coast” and keep it in the big ring, huh?

Here are a buncha dates to put on your Day Planner, BlackBerry, ‘fridge door, etc:

10/3 – Highland Park CX race
10/4 – Trail Day in Allegan Woods! This has the potential to be the best trail within a short drive of Holland and the MMBA needs your help. Meet @the HQ @ 9:00am. Tools, guidance and lunch provided. More info @ www.mmba.ord
10/5 – Club Meeting, 8:00pm @ New Holland. Learn all about the ins, outs and secrets of Cyclo-Cross racing w/ local practitioners of this fast-growing slice of the bike racing pie.
10/10 – Colorburst Tour in Lowell
10/11 – Pineapple Bob Classic Fun-Raiser Ride from Velo City Cycles
10/12 – Last Monday Night Ride of 2009
10/18 – Lakeside Park CX race.

Remember – our club meetings will be on the 1st Monday of the month from October through April and each will feature a speaker and/or presentation on a topic of interest. Future meetings will cover XC skiing, yoga for cyclists, core training, etc. (Ideas for a topic – contact MC at mike@velo-citycycles.com)

I trust this finds you well and that you’ve enjoyed the glorious weather we’ve had thus far this month. Ride lots, be safe and we’ll see you on the road (or trail!)
