Hi everyone,

Here are some important deadlines and upcoming activities to consider:

1.) Sun, Aug 29 from 2-5pm: SPLASH! Come meet your new officers at Nickerson Field and get all of your questions answered about the upcoming season. We’d love to see you there!
2.) Thurs, Sept 9 at 7 pm, at FitRec room 221 : Our first informational team meeting. Regardless if you plan on racing this season or not, this is your chance to learn everything about our team.
3.) Wed, Sept 15: Last day to place your pre-orders for DeFeet socks. These are one of the best types of socks around and they are super cheap. Make sure to place your order before the deadline! We will be collecting money after the deadline, so be on the lookout for more information to follow.
4.) Sun, Sept 26: Hub on Wheels and Mayor’s Cup. Sign up to volunteer at either race, and you help raise money for our team. The more volunteers we get, the better!

Thank you and happy riding!
