Cinderella Training Rides - FUN and free

[cindysue]

Details to come.......

Start thinking about training with the Valley Spokesmen and Team LUNA Chix.

Training rides will start mid-January. The big event is on March 31st.

We will host rides every other week and provide a communication link and route sheets for groups to meet on the alternate weeks.

Our first training ride will probably be a flat 20 mile ride from Walnut Creek to Danville and back with a stop mid-way at Peet's!

Later in the series, we'll include the 50 mile "Jelly Belly" Ride (some of you may have attended this fun training ride last year).

We'll work our way up to 65 miles over 10 weeks (Jan 13 - March 17) with a week off to rest.

Be sure you get on the registration list for the Cinderella Metric Century.

It's going well!!!!! I actually love the dual life of job in one location, friends/social life in another. Fortunately, I have a place to call home in both places. Life is good!
