Hello All,
Good luck to everyone running the Hook Mountain Half marathon this weekend!

This weekend Rich will be leading a group ride on Saturday leaving from the 14th St Ferry in Hoboken at 7:00 Am.



On Sunday Andrew and Nicole will be leading a group ride leaving the 14th St Ferry in Hoboken at 8:00.  There will be a more aggressive and less aggressive paced group on Sunday so take advantage!



Don’t forget that next week Hoboken Masters switches to Mon/Wed/Fri mornings and Tues/Thurs evenings.  To coordinate our schedules, the track workouts will now be meeting on Tuesday mornings at 9th and Park Ave at 6:00 Am.  We will also be starting our Tues/Thurs morning rides leaving from the 14th St Ferry in Hoboken at 5:40 AM.   These rides will go up into Palisades Park where you will have the option to do hill repeats or an out and back in the park.  The ride leaders will give 24 hour notice of these rides on the Yahoo Group so everyone knows what to do.



Also worth mentioning, NYARA is having an Adventure Racing seminar this Friday at the EMS in Paramus for anyone who’s interested.  (Thanks Lara).

Hello All,
Our track workouts are now in full swing so be sure to join them now and get yourself ready for the 2011 season.  If you are unsure you can make the whole workout, don’t worry, come and do whatever you can.  All pace groups are welcome and there will be someone running your pace to keep you company.  We leave 9th and Park Ave in Hoboken at 6:00 AM for a 6:15 AM start at the Weehawken track.
This weekend Kristine and Jen will be leading the group ride on Sunday leaving the 14th St Ferry in Hoboken at 10 AM.  These are the perfect leaders for anyone new to the club as both just joined last year and have become very active!  Take advantage and enjoy the great weather.
GC Tri uniforms have been ordered!!!  Our first official GC Tri race kit will arrive hopefully the first week of May.
Finally, the GC Tri official race calendar will be up on our site next week.  Nicci and Rich have been working hard to compile all of the races in the area.  There will also be a form where you can input your “A” races and see who else in the club might be doing those races.
Happy Training,
GC Tri

Hi All,

Thanks to all who joined us at One Republik Wednesday night for the monthly social. It is always good to meet new faces and hang out while not in spandex. We will be having monthly socials the last Wednesday of every month so take advantage to hang out with the group while not working out! This weekend Andrew C will be hosting a trainer ride on Saturday morning. He plans to get started at 9 AM so please email him directly to ensure the 4 additional slots don’t get filled up: andrew.corcione at gmail.com. Finally, we need everyone who is purchasing a GC Tri racing kit to contact Rich and submit your sizes. We are about to finalize the order so we want to make sure we get the right thing. Rich will have sample through the end of next week for people to try on. You can contact Rich at ricbean01 at gmail.com.

Happy Training,

GC Tri
