Alright, let's give this workout thing another try! After a week that included 100F+ feels like temperatures and untimely thunderstorms, it ended with a group of us barely being warm enough in our awesome new pullovers at the bike races on Friday night. It seems like things are settling down a bit with highs all week predicted to be in the 80s and storms currently only predicted for a few days so maybe this week's fireworks will all be man made. We'll hope for the best, and if any adjustments/cancellations are needed, this is where you will hear about them. A few highlights for this week... - Wednesday night club social: In this holiday shortened week we're moving our club social to Wednesday night after the club swim workout at MaGerk's in Royersford (will start around 8:45pm), which is less than a 5 minute drive from the SVY. There is no Mid-Atlantic Multisport OWS this week, so we encourage you to join us for the swim and then at MaGerk's! And if you cannot make the swim part, you are still welcome to join us for the social!

They are pullovers that we may not need for a while, but in case of another cool night like last Friday or if you are joining us in Lake Placid in July, they will be mighty handy! Otherwise, hold on to it until the fall at which time you can make your fashion statement! We have one for every one of you... See the list of events and workouts below and anywhere you see this symbol... [image: 👕]... will be an opportunity for you to get one! - Friday or Saturday morning ride in the works: There will be an uncoached group ride on Friday or Saturday morning (or both?) and the distance will be in the 40-50 mile range.
