Message from Andrew Joslin

Hi guys,

I won't be able to join on the mountain bike ride this weekend, but feel free to go without me. I'll suggest the normal 10AM starting time at Snow Hill, but talk to each other and change the time this weekend if you like.

I'll see you all next time,
--AJ

Club Announcements

1) Tomorrow (Wednesday April 8th) from 3pm to 6pm, the Sports Club Council will have an end of the year banquet. They will host the event at the Leisure Pool on campus. There will be food, games and a DJ and it's totally free.

2) The next event is a volunteer/charity event I believe it would be wise of us to participate in. It's a great cause and will be a lot of fun.

What?: Parramore Kidz Zone Pedal 4 Pride Bicycle Ride
When?: Saturday, May 4. The ride starts at 9:00 a.m. and will continue until we’ve tired out the most energetic kids;
volunteer bike repair begins at 8:00 a.m.

Where?: The ride starts at Jackson Community Center at the corner of Westmoreland Ave. and Carter St.,
and will pick up more kids at four more spots along the way.

Here’s why we need you:

Ride Mentors: the more the merrier. We need plenty of experienced adult cyclists to mix with the kids,
demonstrate good cycling behavior, share their years of cycling wisdom, and just encourage the kids and have a good time.

Route Markers: We need two teams of two to mark the routes the day before and make sure all’s in place the morning of.
There will be three routes: the shorter 4-mile little kids route, a longer 7-mile big kids route, and longer
15- to 20-mile route for the more athletic kids.

Wrenches: Experienced mechanics are needed to ensure the kids (and parents!) bikes are safe and ready to ride.
We are also trying to give away to the kids some old bikes confiscated by Orlando Police and Lynx; those bikes will need
some work ahead of time so they can be ready the day-of.

Helmet Fitters: Those with experience on fitting helmets are needed to ensure the kids have them on correctly.
If you can make this event, let me know asap by replying with at YES!!!!!

3) The third and final event is our year end BBQ. I will host it at my apartment, which is just off campus at TIVOLI. We will be going for a fun ride (nothing fast) for about an hour and then come back to TIVOLI and go swimming and have hotdogs, hamburgers and cookies!!!
It will be on May 1st at 5:00 pm. Please RSVP for this event by April 30th, so i know how much food to get.

Club Meeting

Hey everyone,
We will have a meeting tonight to discuss some upcoming social events and rides for the rest of the semester. The meeting will be at 8:30 pm in the Student Union Pensacola Board Room 222.

There's still an opportunity if you'd like to purchase a cycling kit. If you want one and do not let me know by the end of this week, you will be unable to get one until next fall.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Steve Adams
