August 2006 Chico Corsa Cycling Club Newsletter
Bringing Racing Back to Chico
Dear Geno,
If you are a cyclist in or around Chico, I am sending you this so that you can be kept abreast of what is going on in our cycling community. I will miss some details I am sure, but your involvement in helping our club communicate up coming group rides, cycling events or just news, will make our cycling community better.

If you do not know who or what Chico Corsa Cycling Club is, you can check out our web site at www.ChicoCorsa .com for a good calendar and pics from some of our group events. All are welcome and membership is easy. We are not a part of Chico Velo, but we strongly support them. We encourage all Chico area cyclists to be member of Chico Velo as Chico Velo focuses on important things that we do not.
Chico Corsa has a focus on racing and endurance events for anyone who wishes to try them. We want all cyclists to feel welcome on our rides and at our meetings.

A Message from the President
  Welcome!
Welcome to my first attempt at a news letter. I hope you find it useful. If time permitted I would write one every week. I would include the calendar, ride reports and updates about our members. Since time does not permit, I will do this on an irregular basis. (can you hear my cry for help?)

This letter is going out to every cyclist I know or to put it more accurately, every cyclist e-mail I know. (Even if we never met.) So...if you have something to say to the club, let me know, and...if I think it is something they want to hear I will include it in a future newsletter.

Cohasset Time Trial
  Hill Climb (not to be confused with the down hill TT)
In March of this year Chico Corsa held an early season time trial up Cohasset. I was not sure if the word got out so, I was quite nervous to guess how many people would show up. When I opened my blinds that morning and saw the rain, I thought the event was over. Before I stopped looking at my wet yard and the falling rain, I got a phone call from Lau Ackerman, one of our active club members. "Are we still on?" he asked. I said "If you are willing to ride in this, I am there." We had 9 tough cyclists show up to start in the rain and finish in the snow. It was a great event.

This September 10th join us for our late season attempt at the 5 miles from Nicalog Rd. to the store.

Club Meeting- September 8th
  Special Guest- 1972 Olympian, Jim Mensching
Jim Mensching was on our 1972 Olympic Cycling team. We remember those games for the terrorist attacks, he remembers them as bitter sweet. Jim will be showing us video and telling stories of the early days of cycling. Don't miss him, this is going to be a special treat.

Join us on September 8th at 6:00 pm at the Mountain Mikes Pizza on Mangroove. I will be buying the pizza but I appreciate and will accept any donations towards the pizza fund.
