Hi all,
Clinic notes from Mr. Tonkin...
Begin forwarded message:
> From: "Erik Tonkin"
>
> To all you 'cross clinic lovers out there:
>
> Thanks for making last week's clinic a success. Officially, we had
> 165 registered riders and over 200 attendees. We also signed up a
> lot of OBRA memberships. It was a big crowd, but we managed it
> well, thanks to all our volunteers and your postive energy.
>
> Here are some notes on tonight's clinic:
>
> *If you did not make it to the first clinic, it is definitely OK to
> start at this clinic!
>
> *For those of you who participated last week, remember that it's OK
> to switch groups. We especially encourage riders from the big
> beginner group to move to another, more advanced group if
> necessary. It's also OK to stay put!
>
> *Chris Tauscher will again host the kids' 'cross clinic.
>
> *Kona and Sellwood Cycle Repair will be present w/ some demo 'cross
> bikes. There will not be a complete size-run. If you want to check
> out the 2009 Kona Jake the Snake cyclocross bikes, get to Alpenrose
> early.
>
> *FSA (FullSpeedAhead) will also be on hand to show its 2009
> cyclocross parts. Again, come early to check it all out.
>
> *Tonight is the bike giveaway! We'll raffle the 2009 Kona "Jake the
> Snake" 'cross bike at ~8pm, just after practice. If you registered
> for the whole series, then you're already entered in the drawing.
> If you only paid $10 for last week's clinic, you can pay the balance
> of $15 tonight and still get in. If you missed last week, you can
> pay $25 for the remaining clinics and get in.
>
> *Jeb Stewart of Enduro Fit is compiling an email list of clinic
> participants. We plan to send out content related to the 'cross
> clinics, including clinic reviews and previews, coaching tips, links
> to video clips detailing 'cross technique, etc. If you wish to be
> on the list, just see Jeb at the clinic. He'll be wearing an Enduro
> Fit shirt and juggling his bike and cameras.
>
> Thanks for your time! --Erik Tonkin
>
> P.S. Thanks to Rhonda Mazza, Shannon Tauscher, and Mr. OBRA (aka,
> Kenji) for working the registration table. Thanks to Rhonda, Jeff
> Struck, Matt Mahoney, Dani Dance, Martin Baker, Cary Miller, and Sue
> Butler for coaching the beginner groups; Shannon Skerritt, Brad
> Ross, Molly Cameron, Kevin Hulick, and Matthew Slaven for coaching
> the more experienced; Erik Tonkin, Wendy Williams, and Jeb Stewart
> for coaching those in between; and Chris Tauscher for coaching the
> kids! Thanks to Ron Strasser and Chris Tausher for set-up and tear-
> down, and all the others.
