The Sprockettes
This seems a little out of the ordinary but it looks to be a fun time! Go check it out next Monday 13th, 8pm at Boxcar books. I can't say I know what a Synchronized Bike Dance Troupe is but I'm willing to find out!

Thursday Rides
The new owner of Revolution Bike and Bean Don Galligher is organizing a weekly ride leaving at 6.30pm from the shop on 10th and Grant. There been a good group of approx 20 riders rolling out and the first approx 20miles are no-drop so there should be something for everyone! Come on out and ride!
Also on Thursday at 5.45p the BBC roll out on one of their harder training rides from Bryan Park Swimming pool parking lot. Its usually a fun ride that usually regroups each time the ride breaks up so is good for most abilities.

Wednesday Worlds- possible altered route
5.30pm at the Sample Gates (Indiana and 5th). The proposed route is the Paragon loop but as Bottom road is so torn up there is the thought to alter the route. Therefore the early plan is to ride out steady on Old37 to the top of the cow-farm hill (first hill North of Anderson Rd) before ramping up the pace. The route would then turn left on Chambers, carefully and NOT race across sR37, continue on W Dittemore Rd to Buskirk where the route goes up the big hill to turn right on Burma Road to rejoin the regular Paragon loop. It should be a safer and more challenging route.
Forest TT 7/7/09
It took a while but Ryan Shanahan showed his great form (7th in Masters 35-40 Nationals TT last week) to break the course record at the Forest TT. The time was 20-45 which is a huge improvement on the previous best of 20-59 by Issac Neff set earlier in the year. Ryan attributed the ride to some slight tweaks in position that at that pace can help a great deal! To paraphrase an earlier conversation with Ryan- 'He (Issac) can climb, ride crits, sprint, ride MTB and cycloX better than me AND is better looking but at least I reclaimed the best TT time'.
Greg Strock, fresh from his 3rd place in the same Masters TT, improved to 21-09 for second place on the evening. Rob Templeman came out to play for the first time in '09 and roared to a 21.23 for third place to make the evening the fastest of the year by far! Elsewhere Erica Strock had the greatest improvement on the day with a 48 second bettering of her previous time.

Weekend Racing
July 4th on a Saturday is not good for racers and locally the only event on the road is a 40km Time Trial at Monrovia on Sunday morning. Enjoy!
There is a DINO MTB race weekend at North Vernon. If you're into dirt then get up there and ride off Short-track on saturday and a regular XC race on sunday.
Further afield is the Fitchburg-Longsjo stage race in MA to which a few local riders have traveled to ride. Good luck to Bennet, Louise, Pam, Mike, Issac, Brett and Ryan at this national ranked event!
