Featured Speaker: Author, Coach and USA Triathlon Hall of Fame inductee, Cherie Gruenfeld.
Cherie will be speaking with us about her 30+ year career, sharing her tips on longevity in the sport of triathlon and inspiring us with her work supporting the lives of at-risk youth through her nonprofit organization, Exceeding Expectations.
Cherie is a 13-time IRONMAN world champion, multiple age group course record holder and a three-time IRONMAN 70.3 world champion. She is the founder of Exceeding Expectations, a San Bernardino-based nonprofit that encourages at-risk youth to move their lives in a positive direction using triathlon as a vehicle. The program prioritizes education, and through the support of generous donors, Cherie has been able to ensure that money will never be an obstacle for “EE Scholars” who are accepted into college.

Echelon Santa Barbara is hosting a Road Cycling Skills Clinic on June 4. This is an opportunity you really don’t want to miss. Your $150 gets you half a day of intense work with two great coaches, your one-day USAC license, and lunch after at Panino in Los Olivos. Only 12 participants max, 5 spots already taken! Register now, registration ends when we fill up – no day-of registration. Triathletes take note: To participate you must be on a standard road bike with dropped handlebars – no tri bars!
Please join us Saturday June 4 at Echelon's 2nd Cycling Skills Clinic, led by Coaches Jill Gass (https://www.revolutioncoaching.com/jill-gass) & Nate Loyal (https://www.loyalcoaching.com/about)
Skills Clinic Registration (http://echelonsantabarbara.org/calendar) The last time we did this (Pre-Covid) it was a great success; you won't want to miss this opportunity to learn new skills or brush up (on what you think you know.)
- If you are nervous about riding in a group - this is for you.
- If drafting seems crazy - this is for you.
- If you watch bicycle racing on tv and wonder about pace lines - this is for you.
- If riding too close makes you uncomfortable - this is for you.
- If you want to learn how to do an emergency stop - this is for you.
- If you want to improve your bike handling skills - this is for you.
- Want to be a better climber? Likewise.
- Do you want to be a more confident descender? We can help with that.
- Do you want to be a smarter, safer rider?
If you think you already have all the necessary skills, you'll be surprised at what you can learn in a day working with coaches with the expertise of Jill & Nate. (Plus, it's really a lot of fun!)
It takes a lot of work to put this together - we have USAC permits & insurance and we will cover the cost of the one-day USAC license you'll need. Echelon Santa Barbara (http://echelonsantabarbara.org) is doing this as a service to the community. We'll even provide lunch!
All you need to do is take advantage of this great opportunity. June 4 is approaching! Register Now! (http://echelonsantabarbara.org/calendar) If we don't have a sufficient number of participants we may have to cancel! To maximize your experience this is limited to 12 riders.
It's been over 5 years since our last Kona Sendoff Celebration and we are back with a BANG! We have five athletes going to Kona this year: Tom Rizk, Mike Swan, Danny Arnold, Jason Smith, and Jamie Haggar.
Come join us to celebrate their accomplishment while enjoying dinner and learning a bit about their journey.
Everyone is invited - Current and past members and your families. To ensure that we have enough food and drinks, please RSVP at the link below.
