All,

Last week was our annual escape hot weather, O NO, pack the bags because it’s time to go back to school soon weekend.

We had 20+ riders that hung for the ride.

Highlights and notes:

· A neutral start that lasted all the way to Cotton Bridge

· Ken winning Cotton sprint

· Shaun nipping PT at the line on WestStar (GPS said 38 mph at finish)

· Sorry, no insight on Verrado sprint

· Amy pulling most of the day

· 9 requests to be added to distribution list

· West Valley Cycle getting some postings on Velocity Group web site (see link below) Thanks Austin and Bill

· Leo, Heather, Vicki summiting Mount Humphrey’s

· Amy and Dan sponsoring 3rd annual tri kid race on September 26 (Estrella Mountain). Ping her to help or info at: amyvasquez@cox.net

· Hearing that Joe is taking swim lessons to kick my butt in the pool. I’m bringing in John P and Matt to counter

· My two boys Steven and Jonathon catching big Salmon up in Washington

· Being back after 8 days of vacation to ride with good friends!

We are sticking with 5:45 start time. Looking forward to seeing all of you.
