We're in for a treat this March! We've got local bike fanatic and tech geek, Tom Anhalt sharing his adventures in bike technology, wind tunnels, wheel depths, aero properties of water bottles. Tom's obviously an engineer that rides bikes and geeks out on the technology behind it. Gonna be an exciting meeting! Don't miss it!

Gonna be an exciting and delicious meeting! Don't miss it![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
Due to insufficient interest (not enough RSVPs), the clinic is CANCELLED. We typically need at least 10 to carry out a clinic. If you still desire taking a bike skills clinic, contact the SB Bike Coalition for instruction. Click on the logo to the left. They're a great organization that have worked wonders for the cycling community of SB.
We as SB Tri Club want to get you out on the road, training, enjoying the beauty of where we live (and putting you at ease as to why you pay the rent).
So first things first, whether you're the most experienced rider or hesitant to get on your bike, become a more confident rider by attending our Bike Skills / Ride / Brunch at the East Beach Parking Lot. Look for the SB Tri Club Tent.
So grateful to Measure A and the SB Bike Coalition for facilitating the event. I will reiterate, all levels are welcome and encouraged.

Couple things before you show up:
- Please show up promptly and ready to bike at 7:30am.
- Complete this portion of the course online at bikeed.org.
- Understand your rights & responsibilities as a driver operating a bicycle safely and legally on public roadways. Most importantly, develop the ability to identify unsafe traffic situations and make decisions that can prevent crashes and collisions.
- Before showing up, print and fill out The Online Waiver and bring it to the event.
We'll have a ride following the clinic and group together according to our ride intentions. I will say yet again, all levels are welcome and encouraged.
Join us for brunch afterward at East Beach Grill! So come on out for 1 or all consecutive activities!
Our April Meeting will be happening at The Lab, just behind Hazard's, on Gray Street. Appropriately so, as our April speaker, is none other than Mike Swan, owner and practicing physical therapist at Elite Performance and Rehabilitation and gracious sponsor of the club. Mike's been on many podiums and has been training and rehabilitating athletes from finisher to Kona qualifier even before Elite's inception in 2002. With gifted athleticism, grit, and persistence, Mike has been honored the title of All American, 5 times, qualified and participated in Hawaii's Ironman World Championship, a club record of 7 times, and still holds the age-group record (1994) for long course (4:23:07) and (1990) for the Olympic (1:33:17) at Wildflower. An active ultra-marathon runner, Mike also enjoys trail running, spending time with his wife and 3 athletic dogs.
Please arrive early for food service and social at 6pm.
Meeting promptly begins at 6:30pm.
