Team Toledo News - December 2006

Bike Fit and Winter Expo

It's coming fast, January 6th 2007, from 9:00am to 4:00pm the annual Bike Fit and Winter Expo. Boulevard Church of Christ 7041 W. Sylvania (across from Tam-o-shanter).

Tom Demerly from Bikesport will be here to provide a 30 minute fitting for those who sign up. He will put you and your bike on a trainer, watch your form, and make adjustments to make you more efficient and powerful. RSVP for a bike fit time to Ginger Dankert at ginger.dankert@sev.org.

We have many vendors this year. Bring your bike even if you don't sign up for a bike fit, CompuTrainer will there. Click here for more information.


New Club Secretary

Our club secretary, Jamie Kirby is leaving Team Toledo in mid-term to move out of town, buy a new home, and have a baby. So Jeff DeGross will be doing double duty as vice president and club secretary. Best wishes to Jamie and Kriag.


2006 Highlights

Membership grew to an all-time high of 184 members!!! Terrific, but we would like you to be involved in the club as much as possible, so be sure to come out to the events and at least mingle a little.

MERCRS - We took 2nd overall (our goal was first) in the MERCRS racing series in '06. That's great, but now that the Mideast Championship is the Sylvania Triathlon, it should be a SLAM DUNK for Team Toledo to take the MERCRS in 2007!

The club is looking for a Race Commitee chair to oversee the club strategy for winning the championship next year. Time commitment is minimal. If interested, email any of the board members!!! Be the one to finally deliver the MERCRS trophy to Team Toledo and you will go down in history as a Team Toledo Hero.
