Hi Everyone.
Just a reminder that the first of two Gears Girls information and membership nights will be this Wednesday, March 16th, 6:45pm at Gears Bike Shop. During the information session, we'll talk about the club, answer questions, talk about clinics that Gears will be offering over the course of the season, etc. You can also pay for your 2011 Gears Girls membership and purchase club clothing (limited availability, buy it while you can!). Returning members are also encouraged to attend as many changes have been made to the club since last year.
Also of interest...this Sunday, March 13th is the annual St. Patrick's Day Parade. Check out the route: http://www.topatrick.com/parade-map.html. Gears Bike Shop is looking for cyclists interested in riding in the parade to help promote the shop - and to spread the word that Gears is opening a second awesome location in Toronto! The parade starts at 12pm sharp. The meeting time will be around 10:30am. Here are some details for participants: http://www.topatrick.com/participating/18-parade-day-participant-info.html. Any type of bike is welcome. Of course green clothing and helmets are preferred but not required! The parade won't move quickly so it will be a slow, leisurely ride. Great people watching...and when else do you get a chance to ride your bike down the middle of Bloor Street and Yonge Street? If you're interested in participating, please let me know as soon as possible. Having a contingent of Gears Girls in the St. Patrick's Day Parade would be amazing!
If you have any questions re the above information don't hesitate to drop me an email. 2011 Gears Girls Membership Forms are now available. Drop me a line at gearsgirls@hotmail.com if you would like me to email them to you.
The ride season is getting closer day by day!
