Coaches meeting conference call #3 - 8/27/18
Highlights in no particular order:
- Granite Hill Meet sounds like a blast. It's happening at a campground, and the campground is the course. The route will likely run right past our encampment.
- Course description: 4.5 mile lap. Some hills, not much rock...but a little, some fields, apparently one climb that the owner anticipates a lot of riders will walk. Practice your uphill passing, and getting back on the bike on a hill, if you want to take advantage of this opportunity.
- PICL Adventure Weekend – Oesterling Farm, Marysville, PA – September 8 & 9 (was Pine Grove Furnace) This was the Micheaux race, but got changed. This IS A RACE, but it is also the Adventure Weekend. The league is trying this out, to see if we can encourage young kids to be involved.
