THIS WEEK IN TRI CLUB (MAY 15-21)... LOG YOUR GATORS SURF & TURF CLUB BADGES! Our triathlon season kicks into high gear this coming weekend with two big sponsor events including Kinetic Multisport's "Independence Triathlon" on Sunday and the two-day French Creek Racing "French Creek Triathlon Festival" on Saturday and Sunday!

This week also features the youth Gators joining us for our Monday evening swim workout as well as "Finish Line Photo Practice" just in time for this weekend's events. And that will be followed by our third straight Thursday night post-ride club social (it seems to be becoming a weekly thing) this time taking place at "The TBD Bar" in Phoenixville; see the event for details and to register to participate... https://www.facebook.com/events/555104330134118 Reminder: Log your earned Gators Surf & Turf badges (including Baked Potato toppings tiers) at our official "badge logging" post that is available here... https://www.facebook.com/.../msga.../posts/2243028729215220/ It only takes one badge to get an invite to the July Prime Rib Party!
