Weekly Update 8/9/21

 

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


The SBCA runners were out in full force over the weekend at the 5th Annual Eliminator. Each runner had 45 minutes to run 3 miles, or they were eliminated. We saw many runners that set new personal records even with the blistering heat they had to endure. 


Our very own Judge Sifferman rocked it over the weekend at the USA Cycling National TT in Albuquerque, NM. He participated in the individual time trial and took 12th place with an average of 26 mph. 


The last Railcar Root Beer Junior Ride before school starts this Saturday, August 14th, so come out for one last ride before life gets a lot busier. This is a leisurely bike ride geared towards kids, but parents, family, and friends are also welcome to attend! We'll meet at the Willard Trailhead on the Frisco Highline Trail at 9:00 am, and we'll enjoy some Railcar root beer after. 


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. 


You have until Wednesday, August 11th, to shop at the team store. The estimated ship date is September 23rd.  Link to teams store here 




Continuing items of importance:

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 


The team store will close on August 11th. The estimated ship date is September 23rd.  Link to teams store here 


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 eventss they don't direct or owthose 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. The next one will be on June 19th. 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.
