Note: You must be a member of Gears Girls in order to attend this session; if you have not yet paid your membership or submitted your membership forms and you would like to attend this session, please be sure to drop your completed forms off at Gears Bike Shop before Saturday, May 15th! Read on for details about the session:
What: Gears Girls 101 - An Introduction to Gears Girls and the Group Ride!
When: Saturday, May 15th, 2010
Time: 9am until 12:30pm (we'll be starting at 9am, so don't be late!!)
Where: Lorne Park Hall, 1288 Lorne Park Road, Mississauga - the little grey building just in front of Lorne Park High School (around the corner from Gears). Lots of parking in the school parking lot. Here's a link to a map of the location: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=1288+Lorne+Park+Rd+mississauga+ontario&sll=43.531245,-79.62171&sspn=0.008712,0.027423&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=1288+Lorne+Park+Rd,+Mississauga,+Peel+Regional+Municipality,+Ontario+L5H+3A9,+Canada&ll=43.534985,-79.621696&spn=0.008711,0.027423&z=15&iwloc=A
What's covered: We'll be spending some time indoors chatting about Gears Girls, club direction, rules and etiquette, group riding basics (presented by Peter Hargrove), plus we'll have a brief chat about the importance of nutrition and hydration per our new sponsor eLoad. Following the indoor portion, we'll head outside with the girls of the Eat-Clean Diet Women's Cycling Team to work on various important skills and drills (on the bike) needed for a safe, fun and efficient group ride.
What do I need to bring: yourself, your bike, some warm clothes (who knows with this weather), and a snack if you think you might get hungry.
I'll send out a more detailed agenda as we get closer to the weekend. In the meanwhile, mark the date in your calendar as it will be a worthwhile and important Gears Girls event to attend!
NB: If you're running in the Mississauga full or half marathon on May 16th, feel free to attend the indoor portion of the session. I wouldn't recommend participating in the skills and drills section, but you're welcome to watch!
See you this weekend!
