******************** team 1st meeting Sunday *************************
Dance team prospects:
The dance team will start at my place (8510 briarcroft lane - Laurel, Md. 20708) this Sunday at 1:30 PM on 10/25/09. This applies to you even if you couldn't make a "check it out" event - you are still welcome and the first time is free if you couldn't check it out prior. Some people who can't start this Sunday may start next Sunday (Nov 1or Sunday Nov 8). Our focus is on 20's and 30's age group but we'll take anybody who can do the skills. Also - Ben Peli is in free as a carry over from a previous session.
The class runs every Sunday till the end of February 2010 when we have the dance cruise -
See - http://www.hustle-salsacruise.com/
We also have the option to do VSO -Nov 19-21
See - http://www.barrydurand.com/vso/schedule.htm
But you can be on the dance team and learn to dance even if you don't do any events at all. The cost is $100 which covers the 4 month period - and we do feed you Sunday night, kind of as pot luck. Namely - I cook and people also bring stuff.
We do salsa swing and Hustle - and meet weekly, plus a few social outings to various night clubs like Clarendon Grill, Rendezvous, Elan, Havana Club and of course Nicks (Below). the team this time will be 16 people counting past alumni of the team plus Linda and I. We have a lot of interest this time - but we will stop at a maximum 16 this session. I may try 32 next session if 16 isn't too much this time. When you come Sundays - expect to work out some, dance some, do a few lifts and tricks, and we finish off with Dinner. We'll do more salsa this session than last session - cause there is a demand. Periodically, we'll see Steve, Alegra and Brian to assist the group. And Daniil for Gymnastics.
By joining, you are never committed to do anything - but do try to do 75% of what we schedule to get the most out of it.
Questions? call me at 301-367-5201

Gang,

We are doing a long easy ride and then the Herndon
party (after) with a distance of about 30 miles on the W&OD
trail. I expect we'll start at 5:30 PM for this 2 hour ride, so we
make it
back in time to run over to Anita's for dinner after wards.

If you have to start later - expect us to stop at the Switch station
with the coke machines and the porta potties after 6 PM. We will stop
there on our westward trek. As a rule - we run a little late - so if
you are late - call my cell at 301-367-5201 rather than assuming we have
already left.

We'll meet at the parking lot below the red caboose at mile mark 20
on the W&OD trail at 5:15 PM this friday the 11th of September. We'll
leave going west at 5:30 PM for a long easy ride to Paeonian Springs
farm store and back. We'll stop there briefly and recharge - so bring
money for the store and also the party after the ride.

Gang,

Our next triathlon training trip is Sept 2 - 8, 2009 at Assategue
STATE park. This is the one with the bath houses and hot water etc.
You can expect the following:

1.) You can attend any number of days - but we can only have 6 people
maximum overnight. So you MUST RSVP.

2.) Bring your bike, swim goggles, sleeping bag and any food to share.

3.) Cost is $20 per day - but we buy any food you eat at the
campsite. Restaurants are on you - and we do one "All you can eat"
seafood night later in the week.

4.) We have all the camping gear, tents, coolers, camp lanterns etc.

5.) You never have to do anything, but feel free to join us on daily
bike rides, ocean swims and finish with a run. One night - we'll hit
the boardwalk, and on another night - we'll go out dancing. We have
camp fires an night also.

If you're up for this - email swingandhustle@gmail.com and RSVP.

Gang -

Here's the event for this week:

The Reston century is rapidly approaching - Sunday Aug 23rd. you can register right there at the event.

See - http://www.restonbikeclub.org/restoncentury/

They have rides that are 33, 65, and 104 miles. This is a great event, and a supported ride. basically, it's 15-20 miles between rest stops. I would advise new bikers to try the 65 mile metric century, and veterans do the full 104. The food stops at 4:30 PM - so do the math for a 7 AM start:

For the 65 - assume a start of 7 AM and 15 MPH. Add 1 hour total for rest stops. Assume 5.5 hours or a finish time around 1 PM cause getting registered and outta Reston take a few minutes too.

For the 104 - add two hours and assume a 3 PM finish time.

Please RSVP so we can meet up prior to the event!
