We had a great turn
out at our last meeting. Over 40 people packed the room at Mt. Mikes to
meet Larry Nolan. He was surprised by the turnout and is inspired to come
back. He also wants us to keep him informed about the Fast
50. On the morning of the
meeting, seven of us braved the dark and freezing weather to do a 6:00 am
ride with Larry. We did the Keefer loop. It was awesome. I feel I can't thank
Larry enough. His passion for this sport and his desire to see other
succeed is inspiring to me. Larry, on behalf of
all of us Chico Cyclist I want to thank you not only for your visit to our
club but for what you are doing for the sport. You are a great special
guy. | ||||

The Chico Velo
Christmas Party was more of a comedy show then anything else. Plenty from
our club were there to join in the laughs. | ||

For those of you that
are more interested in doing centurys with your friends the riding with
the racers, Dave Withrow is looking for some help to get a group together
to do just that. Represent Chico in the Century rides. Dave started riding
last year and Paskenta was his first ever century. He also did the Rice
Valley Century, the Wildflower and Sierra century. I lost count after
that. The thing that he will be most remembered for is his first ride ever
up Cohasset. He chose cold snowy Time Trial. If you want to be a
part of his group or better yet help him get it going let me know and I
will pass it along. | ||

Sunday, December
31st, 2006 Registration starts at 8:30am First rider off at 9:01am 1 minute intervals between riders. Free event. No
prizes.....BUT, you will have a great sense of satisfaction! Finish line
will be past where it says "Finish Line" on the road at the top - look for
the timekeepers! Start line will be just past Stilson Canyon Road - to
avoid traffic coming in to and out of Stilson Canyon
Road. 4 miles, 800 feet of
climbing......or whatever your computer/GPS/altimeter tells you it is. Be
sure to remember your time for comparison sakes - we'll be having another
one of these in Spring 2007! | ||

We have out grown the
room at the Mangroove Mt. Mikes so we are relocating to the Mountain
Mike's Pizza at 1105 West 5th Street. That is the corner of 32 and
5th. At the January 5th
meeting, Pillsbury Physical Therapy will be presenting a discussion on
sports injuries related to cycling. The presenting therapists have
extensive backgrounds in orthopedic and sports related physical therapy.
Their talk will include reasons for some common injuries (think: low back
pain) and tips & exercises for prevention. Please bring your
questions and experiences and be prepared for an insightful look at how
you can keep cycling longer, more powerfully and with less
pain. | ||

If you want to invite others to your weekly group ride, let me know and I will include it in this news letter and post it on the Chico Corsa Calendar. Just use the terrain and ability scale that Chico Velo uses when describing your ride.
Sincerely,
Geno Gruber Chico Corsa Cycling Club email: geno@chicocorsa.com
