Lance and Gregg stopped by Sunstar Media to deliver a couple of framed MBRT jerseys. Sunstar Media has been extremely generous and helpful in launching this website, and our entire team is very appreciative of their support. Pictured here are James, Sal and Jeff who are the web experts at SunStar Media. They're holding one of the current MBRT jerseys which was expertly framed by Glen Gobel at Gobel Framing Inc. in Pacific Grove. We hear that the SunStar guys are mountain bikers, and we're hoping we can talk them into giving road racing a try next season. If not road racing, they'll probably be wearing MBRT kits on the mountain bike trails soon. If anyone is interested in what SunStar Media can do for your business or your website, you can find out more about what they do by checking out their website.
MBRT had an excellent showing at this year's edition of the Sea Otter Classic. Congratulations to all of our competitors and thanks to everyone who showed up to give their support. Highlights at the SOC include Doug getting a 2nd place finish in the Master's 35+ Cat 1/2/3 Circuit Race, and a 3nd place in the Expert 35-39 Cross Country MTB race. Greg Sakzewski grabbed a seond place in the Cat 5 circuit race and a 3rd place in the Cat 5 Road Race. Jeff also did well with a 5th place in the Cat 5 Circuit Race and a 4th place in the Cat 5 Road Race. We've also added some Sea Otter pictures to our photo gallery. To view them, click here.
We're having another competition for the Paris-Roubaix. We'll use the same rules as in the Tour of Flanders competition. Make your top two picks on the blog, and the person who picks the highest placed rider, wins! If there's a tie, then the second pick will be used as a tie breaker. For the Paris-Roubaix, the winner will get a box of Clif Bloks, a Nuun waterbottle and a container of Nuun electrolyte tabs. Only MBRT members can win the prizes. For more information, please look at our blog.
On Saturday, March 29th after the Saturday Morning Ride, several MBRT racers headed out to Shoreline Preschool in Toro Park to lend a hand in a bike rodeo for children. MBRT members helped adjust bike helmets on several young riders, and then along with several Velo Bellas provided encouragement to these mini-riders. In all honesty, however, it was clearly apparent that these kids didn't need any encouragement to ride. Afterwards, every little biker received a rider's medal and some bike swag. More pictures of the event are available on the MBRT photo gallery.
This year, MBRT is going to have a friendly contest for the major classics starting with the Ronde van Vlaanderen on April 6th. We're going to give away a box of Clif Blocks (assorted flavors) to whomever chooses the top rider in the race. This contest is open to anyone, but only MBRT members are eligible to win the prize. For details on the contest, please see our Blog.
MBRT racer, Kadria Milani, is offering a Pilates class for MBRT members and friends of MBRT. This class will be offered for a limited time, so if you're interested and would like more information, please check out our Blog.
The Tuesday Night Circuit Race has started up again. Meet at the wharf at 5pm on Tuesdays for the warm-up ride, or meet at the corner of Parker Flats Cut off and Normandy Road at 6pm for the start of the ride. It's the same course as last year, with rolling hills and headwinds as the major challenges.
