Dear Geno,

The times a changing. My favorite time of the year... daylight savings time. More light=more riding and the highlight of my week, the Fast 50. This issue is filled with excitement and anticipation for the great cycling season ahead. Please enjoy the March 2008 edition of Chico Cycling.

This newsletter is a gift from the Chico Corsa Cycling Club. Our hope is that we inspire you to help Chico become a better cycling town than it already is. If you love cycling and would like to improve your speed or endurance or you want to race or just see racing back in Chico, join us at one of our monthly club meetings and meet others with interests like yours.

A Word from the President
 
Congeniality
Geno

Every Saturday and Sunday morning and soon every Wednesday at 6:00 you can find a gold mine at One Mile. There you will be among all of the different personality types. There you will meet teenagers, sineor citizens and every generation group in between. Income levels will range from that of a starving student to deep into the 6 digit category. You will find great people and you will find some of your future best friends, unless we scare them off.

For all of us that have been regulars at the weekend club rides or the Fast 50 it is a great time for us to...


Coaches Desk
 
By Mike Trowbridge

Hi All Coach Mike here... As you all probably know I'm recovering from a pretty bad crash on the bike where I broke 4 ribs plus a bunch of road rash and miscellaneous bruises. As I was lying around I had some time to think about my recovery - how to best speed the process up and how to start riding/training again. The second part was easy enough to figure out. However, the first part was a little tougher. So I read a few articles and talked with my wife Janine. She is a Certified Massage Therapist who focuses on sports and injury rehab, and she highly recommends getting regular massages. With her help I'm on the road to a speedy recovery.

I put together the following article to give you the benefit of my research. Therapeutic massage is not just for injury rehab. Pro teams have...


Tour de Ed
 
Let's Support Ed
Roy

The first annual Tour de Ed in on it's way. But before I tell you about the ride, I want to stop and thank EVERYONE that has helped, or shown support, or asked what they can do to help Ed. I shouldn't be amazed at how much support Ed has received from the community, but nevertheless, I'm amazed. Thank you everyone for your help.

Okay, you came here to learn about the ride. The ride is the old Almond Blossom ride and takes you on a pleasant 20 or so mile ride on quiet country roads through the almond orchards when the trees are in full bloom.

Chico Corsa Race Team
 
Early Results in the Early Season
Jeff Galland

Not a bad first month of racing for Corsa! Look at that CAT.5 squad, we are loaded and should win many races until they upgrade. The CAT.3's are doing well, 2 races with 1 win and 1 podium. The CAT.4's should do well with Colby and Tyson leading the sprints. We even have a women's result in Morgan Bonar top 10 at the Early bird Crit. We need to build up that women's squad and get some more results! Good Job, Corsa!
