*Editor's Note: Due to the birthday festivities, our Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday night workouts are modified from our original schedule; see details below.* Happy Birthday, Gators! This Wednesday, May 1 marks our club's 10th birthday! We're planning a few festivities throughout the year and the first two take place on Wednesday. This will include a bike ride from the Pawlings Trailhead (NOT the dog park) to the Conshohocken Brewery that is located adjacent to the SRT for a brief Happy Birthday toast; the roundtrip is about 23 miles and it will be at a leisurely pace (15-16mph). Then we're offering a meetup at the TBD Bar (Tenth BirthDay Bar?) in Phoenixville for some food, beverages, and reminiscing about the first 10 years (and the next 10). Hopefully you can join us for one or both and note that the TBD gathering will work for our cyclists, our Mid-Atlantic Multisport OWS swimmers, and anyone else that would like to participate even if you do not have a workout planned that night. If you can make it to the ride or to the TBD Bar, please indicate "Going" (for planning purposes) on the following events... - Happy Birthday Bike Ride: https://www.facebook.com/events/1201721207867222 <https://www.facebook.com/events/1201721207867222?__cft__[0]=AZWe7AhzyKQDyvBovqc3XsOCEQKE10DRBfflgsoF-O75yju5od0f2YvJUukZ0sL-7HXnBEz9kWcJ-UQATEKxPy8unyBThPYtcLBeVGoBAiUbXgcuY2yGEEglsLKUzAvD6HSwrvqufhQ1HiCfTlgHMYT7Wcxg05niqAhUodhMxOyZs_Q3sgEsUr2qkn1xOvcctUrMGwFWeJOF3w51j69HQL_tc7t5gLG8HuVqQUGqnmbOzg&__tn__=-UK-R> - TBD Bar Gathering: https://www.facebook.com/events/400682456114579 <https://www.facebook.com/events/400682456114579?__cft__[0]=AZWe7AhzyKQDyvBovqc3XsOCEQKE10DRBfflgsoF-O75yju5od0f2YvJUukZ0sL-7HXnBEz9kWcJ-UQATEKxPy8unyBThPYtcLBeVGoBAiUbXgcuY2yGEEglsLKUzAvD6HSwrvqufhQ1HiCfTlgHMYT7Wcxg05niqAhUodhMxOyZs_Q3sgEsUr2qkn1xOvcctUrMGwFWeJOF3w51j69HQL_tc7t5gLG8HuVqQUGqnmbOzg&__tn__=-UK-R> May HBD Top 10 Challenge: Another 10th birthday activity that we're rolling out, partially due to the popularity of our March Madness and April's Full Challenges is a May HBD Top 10 Challenge where you will have 10 activities to complete throughout the month. Watch for a separate post coming on this either Monday or Tuesday. Speaking of the April's Full Challenge we have reached the final two days and 11 athletes have completed the challenge and we have a few more that may still make it to the finish line! Watch for a recap coming later this week. The Ice Cream Club is back! To earn "membership" in the club you will need to complete at least 3 intervals at one of our Tuesday night cycling intervals workouts taking place May through July and then all "club members" will be invited to an ice cream party in August. While most opportunities to participate will be on Tuesday evenings, we'll have a kickoff event this Thursday, May 2 as there will be an option to complete intervals or an out and back ride. This serves as your weekly list of our club workouts! Workouts Attendance Poll: To assist with workout planning, please check all workouts that you plan to attend.
