Just received from West Valley Cycle group ride organizer David Herzog:

——————–

All,

Start time for Saturday is 7:30am. Best weather of the year expected!

Last Week: 25 riders completed the 66 mile route

Sprints: I think Colavita won all sprints, but Jason was in the mix.

Ride Notes:

· Nice warm up to Cotton (two weeks in a row)

· A+ group (Ken, Sean, Leo, George and Justin (also Jason)

· Top Pullers Leo, Randy, Jeremy.

· On the way to Verrado… Leo held back and pulled for the “B” group.

· Jeremy vying early in the year for annual Best Dressed had on a brown blazer with black patches on the elbows

· When Jeremy was asked “what’s up?”. He said it was a “Sports” jacket…

· Marty , Tracy, Vicki and Ahmad were strong

· The C group is here. Starting 2/20, Stephanie will lead out a third group, same start time, but abbreviated route. There is a prerequisite for this group, so please email Stephanie for details. stephynew@yahoo.com
