Weekly Update 8/23/2021

 

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


New socks are at SGB. There are 12 small pairs, 24 medium pairs,  25 large pairs, and 23 XL pairs. The price is $15 a pair.  They are in reception at Strong Garner Bauer, 415 E Chestnut Expressway, 65802 - office open from 8-5, Mon-Fri.  First come, first served. (p.s. you can also pay for them on Venmo, and we will mail you what you want - message if that is easier.) 




The cycling community showed up in force in support of the Lone Pine Bike Park. There were several organized rides to Kingsway United Methodist for the open house. SBC Athletics was part of that significant number. The cycling community of Springfield should be very proud of that showing. Learn the history of this park and try not to be inspired by the kids who set its wheels in motion. There is a small group of nearby residents trying to get the park's progress halted. You can still leave comments and write to Springfield City Council in support of this endeavor.   






The SBC Bikeshop at the Fairbanks continues its summer roll. Thank you so much to those who volunteer. Volunteer efforts have put a lot of bikes back on the road and put a lot of riders on their first bike.  


SBC Bricks are still available. Details below under "Continuing items of importance." 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.
