Safety Advice from IU Bikes!
This is very worthy but can't help feeling it's a little obvious (Wear a heavy jacket to stay warm). I have never heard the toothpaste on the glasses advice (1m20s)! I'm sure when he's talking about googles/toothpaste she's thinking 'Really?..we didn't talk about that in rehearsal'... Is it me or does the corridor behind go on forever.... Also I'm not sure about the saddle tilt on that bike to the side!

Ladies Training Race
Hello, Ladies!
Okay, it’s that time again. The first collegiate road racing weekend is the weekend of the 25th, so let’s make sure we’re ready for it. We’ll do a practice race this Saturday at noon, meeting at the Sample Gates. This is truly a come one, come all event--anyone interested in racing should come check it out! If you’ve never raced before, this is your chance to see what it’s like. And if you are an experienced racer, here’s a chance to remind yourself what racing feels like. Regardless of your experience level, it’s an opportunity to get out there with your IU teammates for a great workout.
We typically do a lap of the Forest (down Bean Blossom), though last year we did an out-and-back on 446 (due to ice on Bean Blossom). Either way, it will be familiar roads so no one gets lost, as this is not a no-drop ride...but we will all ride out together to the starting point. Attacking is welcome, as is teamwork…so come ready to race! And of course, if you have a longer ride scheduled that day, you could always add on afterward.
This weekend’s forecast looks decent, but if Saturday's weather is crazy for some reason, we’ll reschedule for Sunday at noon. Please email me randikcox@gmail.com with any questions.
Come on out!

A Letter To the Union Board from a Member of the Rider's Council
Dear Union Board,
My name is Katie Reed, and I am a member of the Little 500 Rider's Council. This will be my third and final year riding in the Little 500 for Alpha Gamma Delta. I would like to openly protest the Union Board Concert, which takes place on Friday, April 20th with doors opening at 8 pm. Since you may not have been paying attention to recent events on your campus, the 25th Annual Women's Little 500 race will be taking place at Armstrong Stadium at 7 pm on Friday, April 20th.
With this being the 25th Anniversary of the Women's race, it is insulting to the alumnae who went through so much to make the women's race possible on our campus. The purpose of moving the race to the evening was to showcase and to involve more students and alumni in the event. Imagine how each woman who has trained at least one if not more than one year for this race will feel if the stands were empty due to the scheduling of this concert.
I hope that you will strongly consider the ramifications of this decision, and the precedence that it sets for future Little 500 races. "We are expecting a large turnout of students with high energy levels, alumni who grew up with this band, and other fans from around the state of Indiana," Shectman said in the IDS on Monday, February 7th.
We must remember, after all, the whole reason this concert will be taking place is because of a bike race.
Sincerely,
Katie Reed
