BEST WISHES FOR A SAFE AND SUCCESSFUL EVENT... ... to all Gators who will be running, rolling, or otherwise getting it done this weekend! After a massive event weekend last week, this week is a bit quieter, but we do have 5 athletes with events taking place on Friday and Saturday. In case you missed it... • Gators Bike Maintenance/Tire Changing Clinic! It's taking place before our intervals ride on Tuesday 6/21. If you do not know how to expertly change a flat tire, be there. If you do not know how to show your bike some love and tenderness, be there! See "Event" for more details... https://www.facebook.com/events/881471569358807 • Homework! And if you did not have an opportunity to attend Tuesday night's 90 minute virtual bike maintenance/tire changing seminar, it's recorded and you can find it under announcements. It was great and definitely worth doing some homework and checking it out! • FREE Scoogie Events Entry for Youth Gators! We are raffling off a free entry to the Scoogie Events' Kids Rock Summer Triathlon taking place on August 27! All registered Jr. Gators and Gator Tots are eligible! See the post under "Featured" or contact Cindy Kelecic or Angela Epelbaum for more information! • Gators of the Month - June! Congratulations to David Stone and Sara Dansbury who were announced this week as our June Gators of the Month! You can find the video announcements under "Featured". Watch for interviews coming soon! • Our 2022 member t-shirts are going, going... not yet gone! Sizes are first come, first serve, so see Jill Basile or Don Mack to get one before they are gone! We'll do the best we can to accommodate your size although some sizes are already sold out. We also still have visors and Gator logo car magnets available FREE to a good home! • Philly Women's Tri volunteers needed! Join us for one of the best and most rewarding parties of the year at the Gator hydration station on the Philadelphia Women's Triathlon run course! We've already started to work on DJ Ho's playlist that will include song requests by our Lady Gators as they motor on through the station! Besides having a ton of fun, we'll receive a donation from DelMo Sports for every volunteer! Please register today (the registration password is "GATORS22ROCK")... https://runsignup.com/.../PA/Philadelphia/WomensPhillyTri... Weekend Workouts: Take advantage of this spectacular weather weekend by getting outside! We have a couple of options for you to consider... • Saturday 6/18, early AM departures: Group Rides... There are two rides that we are aware of that our athletes training for long distance events will be doing... Jill Basile is leading a 100 mile ride and Jon Wesler is leading a 90 mile ride. If you are interested in more information, please reach out to Jill or Jon. • Sunday 6/19, 11:15am-12:15pm, Spring Valley YMCA indoor lap pool: Uncoached group swim workout • Do you want to lead a group bike ride or run? We highly encourage you to share on our Facebook group any rides or runs that you are doing where you'd like some company!

Friday, June 17: • Media 5 Mile Race (Media, PA): Lindsay Inger will be getting an early start on her weekend with this event that has been around since 1980 as a fundraiser for a local political campaign.
