In late March, Heidi Clayton – a cyclist in our community – was hit by a car while on a training ride in Ahwatukee. We won’t go into great details recapping the incident, but Joe Wells wrote an article about it here and WomensBikeTalk.com wrote about it here. Read both if you need to be brought up to speed with what happened and get a picture of the tough road to recovery Heidi is facing.

Now for something positive…

2 Wheels 4 Hope is (and this is taken directly off their website) “an Arizona based, nonprofit cycling event helping cyclists in need! We are committed to offering hope through fundraising and awareness. Your participation in the TT or Fun ride as well as your donations directly supports a chosen cyclist in need”.

It makes me happy to know that there are people in our community that grab the flag, organize the troops, and lead the charge to support us when terrible things happen.

For more details, please visit the 2 Wheels 4 Hope website http://2wheels4hope.com

For more info on Heidi Clayton, the event beneficiary, please visit http://2wheels4hope.com/AboutHeidi.aspx

I know we all live busy lives, and have other personal and athletic related goals and obligations, but please consider coming out to McDowell Mountain Park on June 5th for a moonlight time trial. It’s for a good cause.

Thanks,

Admin.

Greetings!

Bicycle Haus has reached a new and exciting chapter. We have created a new Bike Boutique that adjoins our current Fit and Massage Studio. This has allowed us to “clean haus” and we are ready to move some inventory out. Starting June 1st, come check out the new space and see what we have on SALE in the existing space. These great items will go FAST. All sale items are final. See you soon.

Sincerely,

I had the good fortune of jumping in with the West Valley Saturday Ride.

Leaves 6AM from Lifetime Fitness, Litchfield and McDowell.

About 40-50 riders, fast rolling terrain with several sprint sections along the way.

I highly recommend this one! Great group with a good attitude!

We thought it was about time to check in with Chad Beyer at the Amgen Tour of California. He’s been racing up and down the roads of California since last Sunday; with some nice successes might we add…

VelocityGroupCycling: You were in the early break in stage one. It looked like a long day in the saddle off the front. Did the team ask you to cover the early move, or were you just in the right place at the right time?

Chad Beyer: On the first stage, we wanted to have someone in a big move. I was just watching and I saw about 3 guys going in a hard strung out section and I bridged across. It wasn’t a big move but I just took the opportunity. Its always good to have a guy in the move.

VGC: What goes through your mind while off the front in a small group as the kilometers tick over one-by-one?

CB: I’m usually just trying to remind myself to eat and drink when I’m in the break, you have to be prepared to go to the line. I like being off the front and just riding, you don’t have to worry about positioning in the field.

VGC:  What are your plans for the rest of the Tour of California? Any stages you have your eyes set on?

CB: The plan for the rest of the race is to keep Steve Morabito up on GC and help George go for a stage. If I have an opportunity to go in a break I’ll take it. I’m always day dreaming of riding everyone off my wheel and taking the stage though. Dream big right?

Thanks Chad. Best of luck with the rest of the stages.
