WWCX

From Adam Rodkey:

It looks like it will rain most of the day today. The CX group will likely not be riding at Karst tonight. I know, I know, we're supposed to revel in the wet and mud, but we don't want to damage the park grounds until necessary!

Autumn Series

Looks as though Riders Council have come up with a greatly improved Fall Series that kicks off with Tuesday Night at the Track this evening (#L5TNRS).
 Details here

 Looking foward to hearing about how the events proceed. I see that the #L5TNRS is categorised by age which must be a kick in the teeth for the old boys of the track, Eric and Brant! I also notice that IUSF shows some class and don't give the ladies ages.... Start list for Tuesday 25th

Cyclists Needed for Psychology Study

Seeking cyclists to volunteer to participate in a sport psychology research study!

My name is Deborah Osteen and I am currently conducting a thesis research study for the sport psychology masters program at John F. Kennedy University in Pleasant Hill, California, and I am in GREAT need of volunteers to participate in my study! The entire study is done online, so it does not matter where you reside, just as long as you have access to the internet.

The study will require 5 - 30 minutes per week and takes place over 4 weeks, starting October 1st, 2012.

PRO L5?

I reckon they'd be alright with an exchange..

MMSF TT #9 Results 09.11.2012

The final TT of the year had just 9 riders come out for the challenge, with most riders opting to ride Merckx-style.  To no surprise, Jonathan Atwell took the top spot with a 21.17 while strong-man Ryan Shanahan set a new season-best Merckx time with a 22.54.  Mandy Brothers was the lone female rider of the night, completing the course in 28.11 Merckx style.  Just because the "official" TT's are over this year doesn't mean you can't still go out and time yourself for fun or for a workout.  Times are on BVN, so you can see where you stack up - and also try to beat your own best time!  Thanks to Sarah Sanders for timing tonight and to all others who have timed this year for making it possible.  And of course, thanks to the riders for coming out, hopefully we'll see you again next year!  Full results below:

WWCX

From Adam Rodkey:

 WWCX will be meeting at Karst again this week 6:30-7pm. We flagged and painted the course, but it has been mowed since then, so all flags may not still be standing. If needed we can put out more and/or make sure everyone knows the course.

 See you there!

Stolen Bike

Fellow Bloomington Cyclists,

Would you please keep your eyes open for a stolen 2009 58cm Specialized Roubaix Pro?  It was stolen today (9/11) between 7:45AM and 2:45PM.  The bike was locked (cable and locking rack) to the roof rack of my car in the SRSC parking lot. The bike has several identifying features, some of which include; nokon cables, black box bottom bracket, Fulcrum Racing 3 wheels and several other identifying characteristics.  The frame is a black carbon weave with red decals. An image of a like frame is included below. A report is on file with IUPD so if you see this bike please call them and contact me at csarvin@indiana.edu

 Thanks, Chris

IUDM Torch Ride

On Saturday, September 22nd, IUDM will be hosting its 7th annual Torch Ride, a cycling event, from Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis to Bloomington. Each year this event is a centerpiece of the IUDM experience, serving as a ride in honor of Ashley Crouse, an IUDM Vice President who passed away in a car accident on campus in 2005. Current IUDM VP Finance Eric Anderson will lead the pack of cyclists from Riley Hospital to Bloomington, while carrying a torch that will ultimately be placed at the marathon as a reminder of Ashley's legacy and dedication to IU Dance Marathon and the children at Riley. The ride itself will be at a leisurely, social pace, but we ask that anyone who joins the ride be comfortable riding in packs. 

If you're not familiar with IUDM, the organization works year-round to raise funds and awareness for Riley Hospital for Children. Since it began, the IU Dance Marathon has raised almost $12 million for Riley Hospital for Children, which built and continues to support the Ryan White Infectious Disease Center. If you click the link below, you can learn more about IUDM and the Center it has built. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReLrlwR5WH4

 We will be leaving Bloomington at 8:00am and will be providing transportation for riders and their bikes up to Indianapolis for the start of the ride at 10:00am. We will be using this route to make our way back down to Bloomington: http://classic.mapmyride.com/route/us/in/indianapolis/143131344391685772

The cost for participation will be $20, or $25 which includes lunch. Riders can register by signing up online at: http://www.helpmakemiracles.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=donordrive.event&eventID=1281

Help make a difference today and gather your friends and teammates to join in on this amazing event! For more information please visit www.iudm.org or email Eric at eric.bradley.anderson@gmail.com with any questions!"
