Thank You, Rides and Racing

First off, we would like to say a big THANKS to all of you who were brave enough to come out to our Rumble in the Jungle race on Sunday, September 27. Yes it was damp - very damp - ok, wet! Despite the rain, the course held up well, and a good time was had by all. We had a great turn out, and we appreciate everyone's support! Race results will be posted later tonight.

Next - rides! This weekend's mountain bike race is going to be at Ringwood State Park, so we will lead a couple of pre-rides there this week. On Wed., Sept. 30, we'll meet at the Shepherd's Lake parking lot at 5 p.m., so we can squeeze a decent ride in before dark.

If you can't make it Wednesday, we'll be at the same place, same time on Thursday. 5 p.m., Shepherd's Lake parking lot.

On Sat., we have two activities going. First off is a trail work event at Jungle Habitat. We'll meet at 8:30 a.m., and work until 11:30 a.m. We'll check the trails for damage from the race, work on some new areas, maybe do a bit of marking. If you are a few hours short on your PayDirt points, this will give you a chance to pick up some more. PayDirt closes on October 9, so you are running out of time!

Our second event on Saturday, October 3 is our Beginners Ride and Clinic! It's free! It's for all ages, kid to grandparent, from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. Read more about it here - http://www.teamtowncycle.com/docs/JourneyJungleClinicflyerV2.pdf . Please let us know if you have any questions. We'll have snacks and giveaways, courtesy of JORBA, IMBA and Town Cycle, so bring a friend, a spouse, or a kid and join us! Rain will cancel our event, so let's keep our fingers crossed. REQUESTED - we collected several bags full of groceries at last weekends' race for donation to our local food pantry. Since this event is free, we're hoping you all can pitch in a few more non-perishable items to add to our total! Canned or other non-perishable items only please!

Sunday, October 4 is the final race in the Campmor H2H series - the Leafblower, at Ringwood State Park. If you're not racing, come cheer our team on in this final race for the season - it's local, the leaves are turning, and it'd be great to have some support for our racers.
