Have you signed up yet for the holiday party? What are you waiting for – it’s going to be awesome. The party is Friday 12/6/13 at Northern Soul. There is a $30 optional open bar and the food is pot luck just like last year. Please fill out the Food Form and let us know what delicious treats you are bringing.
Please take a moment to fill out the Nominations Survey for next year’s BOD and committee chairs. We’re always looking for more people to get involved so let us know how you’re interested in helping out. The elections will take place in December.
The weather looks great for a muffin ride tomorrow. We will depart the 14th St. Pier at 9am and head to the market or Bunburry’s. Pace will be casual.
The weather is still perfect for muffin rides. We will depart the 14th St. Pier at 8:30am on Saturday. For those of you who wish to avoid riding on River Rd., please meet us at the entrance to Palisades park by 9:10am. We will ride either the Market or into Piermont for some tasty treats.
A few of us will be convening at Morans at 4:30pm to watch the 2013 IRONMAN Go Pro World Championships. Stop by and help us try to find Matt Bach and Mark Tsigounis on television.
We’ve got a jam packed Saturday for you this week. At 9am we will be departing the 14th st. pier for a “muffin ride” to Piermont. This will be Dave Cruz’s last ride with the group before moving out to the Left Coast – come out and join us. At 3pm, Shelley Palumbo will be hosting a stretching/foam rolling clinic at Mile Square Physical Therapy – come learn how to take care of your body! Lastly, at 4pm, we will have our club social at Morans Pub – come meet the club members when they aren’t in spandex!
Congratulations to our team members who raced IRONMAN Miami 70.3 last weekend: Kevin Portmann finished an amazing year qualifying for World Championships after his 4:25 performance & Mike Satz finished in 5:15. Rich Bean took 2nd AG in the Mountain Man Biathlon (1:22).
Good luck to all of our GCTri members who are running the ING NYC Marathon this weekend.
Hincapie gear has arrived! Stop by our sponsor Fleet Feet of Hoboken during store hours to pick up your gear. If you missed the order we plan on placing another in early spring 2014 and we will be getting the fit kits so you can check out the sizing.
Reminder that next Saturday 11/9 there will be a Foam Rolling/Stretching Clinic at Mile Square Physical Therapy and we will also be having the November social at Moran’s. See the club calendar for full details.
The dessert series continues! On Saturday Mike Haskell and RJ Boergers are leading a ride to the Runcible Spoon in Nyack departing the 14th st. pier at 9am (it will be at a friendly pace). On Sunday, it is likely that Kristine Papamichael will be leading a ride to state line – departure time TBD – keep an eye on facebook and club calendar.
Goodbye and good luck to our weekday ride leader – Andre Preotesa (he’s moving to the suburbs). With Andre’s departure we are in desperate need of a weekday ride leader for next year (typically April through September). At a minimum we plan on offering 1 morning ride but the past couple years we were fortunate to have Tuesday and Thursday morning rides. Let the BOD know if you’d like to get more involved.
We are having the October Club social tomorrow (Saturday) at 4pm at Moran’s Pub in Hoboken. Stop by and enjoy the good company of fellow club members without the spandex.
On Saturday Andrew Corcione and Mike Haskell are leading a ride to State Line departing the 14th st. pier at 8am (it will be at a friendly pace). On Sunday, John Argueta will be riding to state line – departure time TBD – keep an eye on facebook and club calendar.
