Road Cycling Clinic - Saturday 7/16

**cindysue** · 07-11-2005, 09:50 PM

Hey girls,

Might be a bit of a drive for some of you, but should be well worth it............

CLINIC: Come hear Julia Violich (pro-racer) discuss women's physiology and biomechanical fit for the bike followed by a two hour instructional ride on descending, cornering, and climbing. The clinic is FREE and LUNA samples will be generously provided.

Sat July 16, 8:30am

I'd REALLY like to go to this, but Blaine may be going to a conference that day. We're still not sure. Do you have to sign up in advance, or can you just show up??

Hmm, Julia Violich is also the owner of Gravy Wheels which has always been closed when I'm in the neighborhood.

cindysue - you going? slinke - we could finally meet!!!

**slinkedog** · 07-12-2005, 10:00 AM

I'd really like to go to this to see if it will help with my fear of descending a little, and of course, for all the other help it would be! And I'm hoping to see CindySue again!!

SK, are you really going to go? I could bring your saddle.

By the way, this is about road biking and not mtb, right?

**SadieKate** · 07-12-2005, 10:16 AM

Not necessarily in order of the questions:

1) Yep, I'll go if you will!

2) The website says it is the LunaChix road club.
3) I could meet both of you.
4) Yep on the saddle. I haven't put the check in the post box yet but I could hand-deliver it also.

So, does Blaine have to go to the conference? Tell him I'll start whining really loudly.

SK

Shannon - no need to sign up in advance. Just show up

. Should be a great clinic - the training ride is what I'm looking most forward to! Yep - the focus is on road skills - although Julia is more into the MTB races, she also does amateur road races...........

SK, Yep - I'll be there. I'm one of the members of the LUNA chix Road Team (a sister club to the MTB team you may be familiar with)
Also, you might want to mention that to Julia if you go out there. I'm sure you are not the only potential customer effected by the shop's closure.

That's a great article, isn't it?

Hope to see ya both there!

I just spoke to Julia and she says to just show up.

Well, since I seem to only be in the neighborhood on the way to and fro from other things I don't really expect the shop to be open at 8 am or 11 pm.

hahaha, you didn't say that!

**slinkedog** · 07-14-2005, 09:46 AM

I'm not going to be able to come.

Blaine's conference is set and Devon really wants to go to a Harry Potter book party on Friday night that will last until the wee hours (they're releasing the book tomorrow at midnight, or Saturday at midnight, I guess I should say), so I'll need to go pick her up at some point in the morning which means no sitter.

**SadieKate** · 07-14-2005, 09:48 AM

Eeeeeeeeeeeee!! Slinke!

Bummer! I'll have to take notes for you......

SK - how about you? You can ride up with me if you meet me here in Walnut Creek.

I'm still on the fence because of the heat. Do you have any idea what time the ride will take place? I want to hear the discussion but I just can't ride if it gets too hot. I'm unacclimated again having been in Oregon for the week. I really want to go but the heat is a real issue.

Thanks for the carpool offer, but I'll be going I-80 to 37 around the north end of the Bay so I don't think our commute pattern will mesh.

ahhh, OK. I was thinking you might be near Shannon in the south bay...... ooooh, wine country - love it!

I imagine the ride will start about 9:30 or 10:00 and go no later than noon.

No, we're just trying to meet someday and at this rate our plans could be written into some schlocky Hollywood movie. You'll be in suspense! How will it all end?
