Hello Ladies!

Sammamish Valley Cycle in Redmond will be holding a bike training clinic on Thurs, June 18th from 7-8p. This clinic has been set up especially for Danskin Triathletes!

They will have a "How to keep your bike ready to ride" clinic with the mechanics. They will get more in depth than just the changing the tire though that will be covered again, perhaps with info on CO2 cartridge use. It will have useful information about basic bike questions- how to put your wheel back on, how to lube your chain, etc. Please bring your wheels to practice changing the tube.

Sammamish Valley Cycle will also be holding a swim clinic on July 12th, and a running clinic to be scheduled. More details on times and dates soon!!

Thanks to Celia for helping set this up!

Cheers!
