Spin-with-Jim Monday's in August:

Join USA Licensed Elite Coach Jim Whittaker for a fun easy bike ride Monday's in August at 6:30pm at the Lawrence Bicycle Path. This Lawrence Parks and Rec offering is open to all ages and levels of cyclists, age 1 to 99. Bring your bike and helmet and learn more about recreational and competitive cycling. Team X Cycling members will assist with the effort. Depending on numbers and ability levels we will split into different groups.

Jack Mason (shown here from a spring race) came out to the Twilight this past Thursday. Jack is doing much better and is able to ride his bike indoors on the trainer. The healing process isn't complete but his spirits are high. Jack and his family wish to thank the cycling community for showing their support the past several weeks.

Racers thank Cycle Works, an Alta Sport event sponsor and provider of Cyclops FREE warm-up trainers. Check out their line of Fuji Bicycles as well. And don't forget that your pre-race warm-up should be the opposite of your event. The shorter the race the longer your warm-up.  Velotek Training Warm-up Tips.
