Hi All,
These days have been really busy with High Cloud, PeasantMan and getting back to doing some awesome rides and swims. We are happy to report that PeasantMan sold out three weeks ago! This includes general entries, community slots and community slots ++ Really awesome! Also one of our PeasantMan athletes, Jennifer Yager, was our winner of a $40 gift card from Best Buy!
Regarding High Cloud, our Director of Philanthropic and Educational Programs for Kenya was in town and mentioned that the funds High Cloud provided most recently were used to buy a much needed generator. We have a lot of programs in place to empower women in the village to create businesses and jobs through micro-finance loans. High Cloud will also strive to continue to support the children to keep them in school as the parents will not continue to support them to go to school because they are devastated by the recent floods in the region which have killed some of their livestock. The community is thrilled that so many athletes are racing as Ambassadors of the High Cloud children and becoming their role models.
With respect to training, these last few days have been full of adventure and activities. we promised you that we were going to tell you what happened after our 100 mile epic ride with Hugh. The next day (Sunday), we went to ride the Columbia course with a big group of friends. Oh boy that was Hilly! The best part of the day was that after the ride, we had an amazing BBQ at Centennial Park.
This is Dave and Matt BBQing as well as our Team Mates ready to devour food after our ride! Thanks guys the BBQ was Delish!
Now last weekend, Matt and I drove down to Elizabethtown, North Carolina with a group of friends – we had an amazing time over the weekend even with the intense heat ha! Swimming and riding was beautiful although at mile 30 our 56 mile bike ride I had to slow down as my hip was really hurting L Even though I stopped three times during the bike ride, I finished strong Here are just a few pics of our adventurous training weekend in North Carolina:
Man I wish I could have this sunset every day from my window!
Everyone was asking about our Snapple Gear! Thanks to our awesome Champion Systems attire, Spiuk glasses, helmets etc! People loved them all. Below is a pic of us after a great ride:
By the way, Big Kudos to my Team mates with all of their great racing this past weekend!!
Now we leave you with the thought of the week:
