DG Crit, Bike Psycho Ride this Sunday

Congrats to everyone that competed in the Downers Grove Crit races this weekend. The report from Mr. Ron Good was that it was a great time and many folks from Endure It! were out racing and racing well.

Also for those interested this Sunday, August 23rd there is a pretty local century ride for those interested. The ride is the Bike Psycho 2009 Century Ride and information and registration can be found at http://www.bikepsychos.org/html/century_2009.html.

Have fun and get out and enjoy the rest of summer as next thing you know we will be relegated to the Computrainers as the nasty Chicago winter will be upon us.

The Boilerman

Ron Davis mentioned the Purdue Triathlon Club Olympic distance race (The Boilerman) at Augusts meeting last week.

Below is the site for someone looking to race into September at a location not that far from the Chicago area.

http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~triclub/BoilerMan.html

It's only $45 to enter so it's very inexpensive for an Olympic distance.

This year will be the 9th annual.

Naperville Sprint, Awesome Job Everyone!

What a sight, Endure It! gear was all over the course and everyone did awesome! It was a blast to see everyone out on the course and so many folks enjoying the day. Congrats to everyone that competed and finished! I have some pictures that wil be coming shortly.

Thanks to Tad Friess and Ron Good for their effort to sweat off 15 lbs in their Santa and Easter bunny costumes as well as cheering everyone on!

Also Ron would like to pass on the following information, "Be aware that the Easter Bunny and Santa are available for your private parties. Children must be of the age to know that both of these characters are mythical as not to be scarred for life."

If any parent would consider this please let me know and I will personally call DFS for you.
