EVENTS:
March 1st through June 1st - GOOD NEWS EVERYONE! The road we cyclists affectionately call "9 Mile" (because it is an uphill slog), is going to get shoulders and Bike Lanes. The road is actually called Rio Verde Drive, until it converts into Dynamite Rd at the top and then heads downhill again to Pima Rd in Scottsdale. Below is the official Notice of Construction and a pdf for posting in Bike Shops. Construction begins on March 1st and will conclude in June. I would advise everyone to stay away from riding on 9 mile for the duration of the construction because as you know, this road is already narros and has high speed traffic and it will be very dangerous to cycle on until it is finished. Please spread the word to all your friends who are cyclists, Clubs and Teams in the Valley that train out there as well. Thanks Heather Hermann for the info.
April 11th, 2010 Tri for the Cure AZ All Women's Super Sprint Triathlon www.triforthecureaz.com **The Village hosts 8am brick workouts Tuesdays at the Camelback Village (bike/swim) and Thursdays at the Gainey Village (bike/run), usually last about 2hrs.
All levels welcome, we do ask that you have a road/tri bike or can pedal really fast on a mtn bike! These workouts are a great way to introduce your body to more than one sport at a time. Great for beginners and those experienced triathletes who need a little push to do their brick workouts. **Non Village Members are welcome to join us, a one time guest pass can be given in order to swim with us on Tuesdays, or I can obtain a longer pass if you are interested in joining the Village Health Clubs.
