Weekly Update 5/24/2021

 

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


Weather notwithstanding, we had several folks representing the Red and Black this weekend. It seems most of Springfield attended an exciting bike race in Bentonville. Rule of 3 is a race on three different surfaces (Tarmac-Gravel-Single track MTB) but using the same bike for all three. Dathan Atchison represented SBC/BO Racing team in the 100-mile Individual division and did very well in an elite field of racers that included none other than Lance Armstrong and Payson McElveen (Marathon MTB National Champion). Speaking first hand as a spectator, expect more of this kind of event. It was sold out and well attended, even though the weather was crap. The weather made the course even more interesting. Clinton Petty and David Beach braved some less than favorable conditions to add  Ironman finishes in Tulsa OK.  This week's big news is Toby Dogwiler laying down a blistering pace on foot and on wheels to power himself to a Duathlon National Championship spot. This win adds another National Championship to SBC Athletics Trophy Case. Congratulations Toby!


 Still, a few tickets left for Tour De Brew. Get 'em while you can. Link for Tickets This is also the LAST CALL for Tour De Brew Shirts! Order here! 100% of the profit from this year's shirt supports the Fairbanks Bike Shop!

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 on June 19th. 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 is the best way to keep in touch with teammates and coordinate group activities.
