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


SBCA's Annual Mileage Challenge is still ongoing and we would love to hear how your journey is going. Reach out to us and let us know. To complete this challenge all you will have to do is prove your 2021 millage from Strava (or whatever online training program you use).  And this year, for the first time, you can also contribute to your millage totals with all of your 2021 SBC $ receipts.  (1$ spent at SBC = I mile towards your annual goal/challenge.) Please see below for the 2021 millage goals. 


Riding:10,000 miles 

Running: 2,500 miles 

Hiking: 750 miles 

Swimming: 625 miles 

Frustrated there is never a Multisport/triathlon option?  Fear not.  We have you covered too.  For you - a score of 2,500 is the goal.  (You’ll also need a Ph.D. in math to figure this out.  Towards your total score of 2,500, you will be allowed to apply the following credits:  SBC $’s are worth one point.  Each running mile is worth one point.  Each riding mile is worth 0.25 points.  Each swimming mile is worth 4 points.  (Hiking not included.)  Add these towards your total accumulated point score/goal to reach 2,500.  (Also – if you don’t understand this challenge – you are not eligible to participate in it, and you should see the riding, running, hiking, and swimming challenges above, instead 🙂 .) 


Your ride/run training program just got a little bit more competitive with the SBCA Segment Challenge (riding and running). Have a favorite segment that you would like to see in the challenge? Message it to the team page, and we’ll take a look. Segment requirements include no stop signs, it must be challenging, and around five (or more) minutes long. Also, NO motor/e-bike power of any kind, but non-powered/e-bike leadouts/team efforts are permitted. So grab some friends and go smash that thing!


Many of you have asked for the team store to be extended so the team store will be open July 9th – July 23rd. The estimated ship date is September 6th.  Link to teams store here 


This Thursday is the last Poker Run of the year! If you have not made it out to this run make sure you go to it this week because you will not be disappointed. The runner with the best poker hand wins a 6-pack of Finish Line. 


We are needing volunteers to help with a youth bike maintenance class at the Fairbanks Bike Shop. This is a great way to give back to the community and youth in the area. Please reach out to Stephanie Snow ( Stephs090386@gmail.com ) or Jason Stratton ( jason@blackriverimaging.com ) if you can help. 


Is anyone going to Ragbrai in Iowa this year? We may have some beer that needs to be transported there. Plus, there may be some beer in it for you. Please email stephs090386@gmail.com if you have you will be going to Ragbrai. 










Continuing items of importance:

It has been a while since we offered PEDAL Industries SBC kit bags. No minimum order number is required.  The pro bag is the newest bag offered by PEDAL Industries. You can also get your name added to it for customization. There is also now a "changing poncho" that is offered on the website.


December 13th Fleet Feet Springfield extends a 10% discount on electronics and a 15% discount on in-store products to SBC Athletics. So be sure you mark your calendars. 


Tour de Rock is offering SBCA a 20% discount for registration with code SBCA2021 Link to Registration.


Pirate Perry Events is now offering SBCA 10% off of their events. There are a few exceptions on a few events; those races they don't direct or own but are posted on their website. The code is "SBCA 10off".  Link to Events 


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. 


SBC Bar tape is finally in and available again. If you ordered a set, you could 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.

Weekly Update 7/05/2021

 

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


Over the weekend, Springfield Brewing Company Athletics kicked off the Independence Day weekend with the 7th annual Annual July 4th Holiday Bolivar out (and back). Next year's event will take place Friday, July 1st 2022.     




 

On July 19th and December 13th Fleet Feet Springfield is extending a 10% discount on electronics and a 15% discount on in-store products to SBC Athletics. Be sure you mark your calendars. 






There are events, there are races, and then there are epic double-hundy rides. Starting at dawn and not ending until near dusk (there are a few exceptions), cyclists starting and ending in at Emerald Park Pool: https://goo.gl/maps/CmTcKYAqhRs Route: https://www.strava.com/routes/2834874586841312248 





Finish Line Premium Lager is dwindling down, so make sure you get your case! It is a straw-colored ultra light-bodied lager brewed with rice. Smooth and balanced with a crisp, dry finish. Whether you just crossed the finish line, set a new personal record, or are enjoying a rest day, this beer is supremely drinkable and pairs well with any victory!
