September 2006 Chico Corsa Cycling Club Newsletter
Bringing Racing Back to Chico
Dear Geno,
There is less daylight and the air is crisper- the cycling season is coming to an end. uh, does the cycling season ever really end? We still have some great events to look forward to. And I actually am looking forward to pulling out my winter gear.

This is our second edition of this news letter, if it is the first time you have seen it, it is because I did not have your email address for the last issue. With that said, Let me ask you a favor, please forward this to every cyclist you know. If they like it they can join the email list themselves for future mailings.

A Message from the President
  Clothing Pre-Orders
I was not sure if this newsletter was going to be a hit or be thought of a SPAM. So far, it has been a hit...or at least with everyone who gave feedback. So I am excited to keep this up.

CLOTHING PRE ORDERS We are getting ready to place the clothing order for next year. Sorry I do not have a picture of the kits yet, but they are going to be great. Our sponsors are; Tri Counties Bank, Gallagher's Heating & Air, Fit One Athletic Club, Modern Builders and Loadstar Olive Oil. We will buy some extra jerseys and shorts but vests, bibs, knickers and the like will only be available via a pre-order. Please be sure to contact Geno or Rodney if you intend on purchasing club clothing.

One objective of this newsletter is to keep a chronological list of up coming Chico cycling events. I seek all the info I can, but your help is encouraged in bringing our cycling community up to date with all the group rides, cycling/cyclist news and events as we can.

Meet Rodney
  Do you know this guy? Rodney Cox
In my cry for help in the last newsletter I was heared by a volenteer. You may know this guy, he volenteers a lot. His contributions to Chico cycling are many. If someone is putting on a time trial, he is there to help. He keeps time at the Forest Ranch TT, the Jack & Jill TT and the Cohasset Down Hill as well as the Chico Corsa events. He is also the treasurer of Chico Corsa.

His name is Rodney Cox. He is a local who is the biggest cycling nut I have ever met. Rodney is the kind of guy that when you meet him you love him. So the next time you see him, be sure to thank him and if you have not met him, you really should.

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.

Cohasset Time Trial
  Cohasset Hill Climb Early season Cohasset TT
The Cohasset Down Hill TT had a great turn out and it was a lot of fun. A special Thanks to Ed, Rodney and Lori for holding this Chico Velo event. But now that it's over, it's time again to go the other direction.

The last Cohasset Time Trial started in the rain and finised in the snow. Check out the photos on the web site ChicoCorsa.com

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

Unknown Coast Weekend- Chico Velo
  100 Miles in Two Days
WHAT A GREAT RIDE THIS IS. CHICO VELO WILL CARRY ALL OF YOUR STUFF AND YOU GET TO CRUISE ON SOME OF THE quietest and most scenic roads in the state. You will be riding through the lush, green Eel River Valley; meandering roads that weave their way through groves of majestic redwoods trees; a ride along the beaches of Cape Mendocino; and along the crest of Rainbow Ridge, which has some of the best views anywhere.
