Weekly Update 5/2/2021

 

Celebrating athletic achievement that betters ourselves, our teammates, and our community.


It's beginning to seem a little more like normal. This weekend brought us the FHT Iron Horse Gravel Race. Last look it was sold out. SBCA had several athletes toe the line. The organizers did a good job of running a rather large event given the circumstances. 


SBC Bike Shop at the Fairbanks season starts THIS WEEK. Please pick a night and volunteer.  Mechanics are meeting every Monday from 6-8 to get ready for the season. We open to the public this Wednesday. Sign up to volunteer HERE. This is a very rewarding way to get to know other teammates and give back to the community at the same time.


Keaton Garret's Heartland Racing is growing and he's looking for help. Check here if you're interested.


Pirate Perry Events is offering SBCA members a 20% discount at Trail Fest for MS. The 20% promo code is "SBCA". Trail Fest for MS is an off-road duathlon series in NWA (trail run>MTB>trail run). TrailFest Link: Here


Running this another week; There's a new Saturday Morning ride option specifically for women. Beginning May 1st, Heather Cribs will be leading a bi-weekly ride from SBC. Routes TBD and will begin at around 30 miles and progress to around 50. This ride is designed to give women an outlet to feel safe and comfortable riding their bikes in a group on the road. 


As racing returns to the scene, amazing results follow. If you have race results you would like to see in the newsletter, the best way to make sure we get them is by email- John, or Stephanie




Continuing items of importance; 


Look for the Classic Beer Mile on the regular. It will be coming up every 3rd Saturday of the month. The next one will be May 15th. Tell your beer-drinking/running friends. Also, look for new and better prizes! The information below in "Upcoming".


Are you and a bunch of teammates headed to a big event? An Ultra, a big gravel race, triathlon, or volunteering for a trail workday? Wouldn't some SBC beer afterward be refreshing? Would you like to take along some SBC Brews to share? Contact Neil. He will hook you up. 


Join SLACK . It really is the best way to keep in touch with teammates and to coordinate group activities. 


SBC Bar tape is finally in and available again. If you ordered a set, you can pick it up at the front desk at SGB- $25 cash only. 


If you would like a commemorative brick to celebrate an athletic milestone, get in touch with Neil. These are really cool and stand as a lasting reminder of your epic achievement.
