Fires-related update: Saturday and Sunday Ride Notice! Saturday ride: The main problem is the air quality. The air is simply not healthy. The club recommends that members do not do the Saturday ride tomorrow. There will be no ride leaders on Saturday 10/26. Sunday Great Western ride: In addition to unhealthy air quality, the inhabitants of this area have been stressed by the trauma of the week and fire and police personnel are still active in the general area with some roads still being closed. It would not be wise to ride in this area for at least one week. The coached Great Western for Sunday, October 28, is cancelled. (update Oct 26th from: Rob P & Capt Rich) The Cyclo-Vets believe in safety, and it is in the best interest of the community, along with the best interest of club members to avoid the area for the next few days. There were many road closures on the GW route up until at least Thursday, and it appears there was fire activity near Four Corners. Do yourself a favor and stay to the west for riding over the next few days. As an alternate: For any interested parties, on Sunday, October 28, we will meet at Kate Sessions Park on Mt Soledad to roll out at 9am sharp. The plan is to ride repeats for 3 hours very slowly (super slow), to get in about 5,000 feet of climbing. Come for all repeats or just a few! Here is a map of the start location: 5077 Soledad Rd, San Diego, CA 92109 County of San Diego's Air Quality Forecast Update Race Points Start preparing your submissions ASAP.

Our Team is 140 strong and will ride RAGBRAI XXXV in July. This my second year in support of the LIVESTRONG Challenge. I was part of the Orange County LIVESTRONG Challenge last year. This event is a Grassroots Fundraising event. It's a special event aside from the three main rides in Portland, Philadelphia and Austin. Lance Armstrong will join us on RAGBRAI.

Team LIVESTRONG is lead by Chris Brewer who rode the 2003 Tour of Hope and works at LAF. Chris Millard, one of the 2005 TOH National Team riders assigned to me, is on Team LIVESTRONG.

Vic Monteleon Memorial Ride: January 27, 2007 As most of you know, our Saturday ride leader and chief story-teller, Vic Monteleon, passed away in November. As a way to honor our friend and fellow club member, the Saturday, January 27th ride has been designated as The Vic Monteleon Memorial Ride. Display of Champions at Soiree The three panel display of Cyclo-Vets world, national and state champions will be on view at the Soiree. Those who viewed it Trek store during Cyclo-Vet night expressed both praise and appreciation for the work done by Bonnie Gabriel and Gordy Shields in putting it together. "I'd hoped more of our former and even some of our present members would respond with pictures and stories," said Gordy. "I plan to keep adding to the display and eventually feature the achievements of individuals who have brought fame to the club." After the Soiree the display will be returned permanently to the Trek store in La Mesa. |
