Weekly Update 8/16/21

 

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


Many of you know that the new trail development at Lone Pine Park has been put on hold. On August 19th from 5:00-7:00 pm, there will be a public open house opportunity to comment on the proposed improvements for Lone Pine Park at the outdoor pavilion at Kingsway United Methodist Church at 2401 S. Lone Pine Ave. Let's save Lone Pine Park trails for the sake of More Trails Close to Home!




Judge Sifferman won his 14th state TT championship over the weekend. Charles Givens took 3rd place at the same state TT race.





Gary Shaw ran the South Dakota Horse 100 and took 10th with an overall time of 22:48:33. He is on a mission to run 100 in all fifty states. The current tally is 10 states, and the states are quickly dwindling down.  

 


 

Jonathan Traugher, AKA Solo_Gravelest, will be competing in the Long Voyage race in Lincoln, Nebraska August 20th.  The Long Voyage is a 300-mile, fully self-supported gravel race that will run in conjunction with the existing Gravel Worlds events. You'll be able to track him here. 






The Hoffmann’s will be heading to the PNW next week for a backpacking trip in WA and, unfortunately, won’t be able to take any SBC beer with them. However, to spread the good news of the delicious carbs produced by SBC, they are hiking a sticker up the famous Mailbox Peak of the Snoqualmie Region. Decisions are best made among friends, so which sticker should go on the mailbox? 





Are you interested in seeing the SBCA logo and some team gear that we do not already have? Just shoot us a DM or email Stephanie (Stephs090386@gmail.com), and we can see what we can do. 






Continuing items of importance:

SBCA Segment Challenge (riding and running) will be starting September 1st, and the segment will run for the length of the month. Each month will be the same time frame, and this challenge will run for a full year. Let us know what segments you would like to see in the challenge. 

We want to hear your stories. How does racing shape your life? Your perspective on the race? Is there an experience that stands out? We’ll read every response, but nothing will be shared without your permission. Shot Stephanie an email stephs090386@gmail.com 


We need 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. 


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 they don't direct or those races n 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. Tell your beer-drinking/running friends. Also, look for new and better prizes! The information below is 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.
