Ladies Road Ride Canceled for May 8

Ladies, due to unpredictable weather for this afternoon, the Wednesday Ladies Road Ride on Clinton Road is canceled. We'll try again next week!

For our Junior racers!

For all of the junior riders out there, don't forget that this Saturday, May 11, is the Team Bulldog K-12 Mountain Bike race at Kittatinny State Park in Andover, NJ. More info atwww.teambulldog.com. Another great way to give your junior an intro to mountain bike racing!

I Dig Tuesdays at Jungle Habitat are Back!!

Yes, it's that time of year again - time for the return of I Dig Tuesdays trail maintenance work sessions at Jungle Habitat. Meet us at the gate at 5:45 p.m, and bring yourself some water, bug spray, and gloves-we'll supply the tools. We'll head in by 6 p.m. to do some work on Boulderdash. 

All you H2H racers out there - before you know it, the 2013 Paydirt deadline will be around the corner, and you'll be scrambling for your hours. Do them now instead of going crazy in August! 

As always, any questions, drop us a line - info@teamtowncycle.com .

Juniors in the Jungle - Done!

What a day! Perfect weather, great turnout, fantastic racers - another Juniors in the Jungle Mountain Bike race is in the books. We had over 100 racers come out to try their hand at some of Jungle Habitat's friendly trails, and they had a blast! From the great race in the Middle School Men's A class that was undecided until the very end of the last lap to the 21 racers that battled it out in the Grade 2-3 Boys race, our young racers had a great time, and showed great sportsmanship.

Quick recap of rides for this week -

• On Wednesday, April 17, meeting at 4:30 p.m. at Blue Mountain, we will have a pre-ride of the race course for Sunday's Chain Stretcher race.  At least 2 fast, race pace laps, so bring your snacks, water bottle, and race face! 
• Also on Wednesday, weather permitting, will be the first Wednesday night Ladies only Clinton Road road ride of 2013! Meet in the old Village Square Inn parking lot  at the intersection of Clinton Road and Rt. 23 in Newfoundland and be ready to ride at 5:45. Great place to learn about group road riding with a great group of ladies!
• A second pre-ride of the Chain Stretcher course at Blue Mountain on Thursday, April 18 - meet at 5 p.m., wheels down at 5:15. One easy lap to study the course, then one lap at speed. 
• Friday, April 19 - Friday night ride on Clinton Road - great for all levels of riding! Meet at 5:30 at the aforementioned Village Square Inn parking lot at 5:30. Long range weather forecast doesn't look great for Friday night, but they've been wrong before ...
