Hello bikers!

By now you've received your May newsletter and perhaps have seen that the Mini-Me series is back this year and in full swing. If not, here is the newsletter blurb:

It’s back! The oh so popular Mini-Me series will return for 2006. Are Fig Newtons more your style than Gu? Stopping for a Slurpee better then Carbo Fuel? Taking a photo better than oxygen debt induced tunnel vision? These rides are for you! Mini-me rides are a more relaxed "C" pace and have a more social slant than "A-B paced" Super Series centuries. Most rides will be 50km to 100km, or about 30, 50, or 65 miles tops. Anyone who rides 6 of the 12 Mini-me series will get the oh so special Mini-me T-shirt. Don’t miss out on the fun with friends! For more info check the ride schedule, or call the ride leader.

If these sound like your kind of rides, we need your help! We've had 3 rides so far, with a fourth one scheduled in June.  But we are planning to have 12 rides in all, so a quick bit of math lets you know we need leaders for 8 more. 

Here are some suggested (not required--just suggested) dates; we'd love it if you could pick one of them up.  You may notice that these dates are the same as the  super series.  We are suggesting these to offer another ride alternative on super series days.  Let me know (please!) if you can lead a Mini Me ride on one of these dates.  If none of these dates work for you, but you would still like to lead a ride, that is fine.  Just let me know what date you want. 

Jul 4 (Tue)      Leader needed    
Jul 9 (Sun)      Leader needed    
Jul 15 (Sat)     Leader needed    
Jul 30 (Sun)    Leader needed    
Aug 20 (Sun)  Leader needed    
Aug 27 (Sun)  Leader needed    
Sep 4 (Mon)   Leader needed    
Sep 23 (Sat)   Leader needed    

Notice that you are free to choose the ride you want to do, which is great.  You get to do the ride you want, starting where you want, at the time you want, and even the date you want. Wow!  Does it get any better than that?  The only thing we ask is that you chose a ride in the 30-60 or maybe 65 mile range, and schedule it at a C pace.  So far, we've had a 40 mile Farmington ride, a 60 mile segment of the Randy Sutherland ALS ride, a 46 mile Chalk Creek ride, with a 50 mile Heber Valley ride coming up in June. 

Here's hoping I hear from you,

Robert Turner
