POC Diane <mailto:Diane.Evans@hill.af.mil> Evans, 586-1725 LOTOJA 2007 MARK YOUR CALENDARS!! There will be a meeting for anyone who is thinking about doing the LOTOJA this year at the Roy Library (1950W 4800S) auditorium on Thursday, 29 Mar 07 at 6 pm. The goal is to put together relay teams for this event and since registration opens on 2 April 07, we'll need to get organized quickly. This will be a question and answer session lead by Eric Hulphers and is for anyone who wants to participate by riding or driving a support vehicle. If your main interest is in doing your best and having fun, but you don't want to do 200+ miles yourself, this is the meeting for you! Please RSVP to: <mailto:diane.evans@hill.af.mil> diane.evans@hill.af.mil. <http://www.lotojaclassic.com/LOTOJAmain_content.html> http://www.lotojaclassic.com/LOTOJAmain_content.html The 20th Annual Little Red Riding Hood is coming up Saturday, June 2nd 2007. This is one of only two All Women's Metric Centuries in the country and it just gets better every year! The ride is a fully supported, non-competitive, Women Only Cycling event. Spend the day riding through beautiful Cache Valley in Northern Utah. The route is a loop through the Valley on rural & country (paved) roads. The terrain is mostly flat, with some rolling hills (NO big climbs). There are several route options, if you don't feel like riding 100 miles yet! We already have several ladies registered (Ogden One and Hill Cycling Club), but the more the merrier so let's get a big group going. After you've registered, please notify <mailto:Diane.Evans@hill.af.mil> Diane Evans or <mailto:Pamela.Vineyard@HILL.af.mil> Pam Vineyard -- we'll get coordination underway so we can all start the ride together!

They have asked us to see if HAFB Cycling has interested cyclists to help with registration, marshalling, motivating riders to move faster or pull them (not on a bike, yank 'em out of the race!) if they're slower, as well as finish line activities. I think we have a great resource of riders on base and there might be some who'd love to be involved in the SL Marathon. If you are interested please contact <mailto:pjvineyard@msn.com> Pamela Vineyard.

I will take you off of the list. If you know anyone that would like to be added, please have them send me an email. Thanks, James
