Well team Nevada!

My stay in Reno has come to an end and I just wanted to convey my gratitude
for all your kindness throughout my year in the USA. I have fond memories of
my times with you guys! Jack giving me my first taster of MTB in years by
offering me a lift up to the Northstar UNR race last September – possibly
the most fun I have ever had on the bike since the course was unreal and the
craic afterwards was top dog – a condo and icky (not yucky!) – couldn’t beat
that with a big stick. Racing with peter for the win in the B race, was a
great laugh and it was fun hitting the beer in the months after with ya –
often meetin up in my favourite local ‘pub’n’sub’ .. well ok 2nd favourite,
‘the Wall’ is the premier irish joint after all! Nate giving me the chance
to race at national level in New Mexico and see a part of America I might
never have seen was something I’ll always remember – its just a pity that my
‘form’ from racing in Belgium all summer had deserted me or exhausted me –
leaving me with nothing else to do but hit the beer for the naked crit – and
total madness!
Scott F, Scott P - remember the laughs in Las Vegas (on route back to reno)
airport sipping on a beer – of extortionate price – trying to describe to me
exactly what white trash was??? – what was it….. Walt Disney t shirts or
something like that??
And then road racing very early in the year with Margaret down in Davis and
again up on Red Rock! In the Tour de Nez, the support you guys out on the
course gave me was unreal – and I much appreciate it … but crossing the line
was the best I think – immediately a beer was thrust into my hand … and this
was to be the tone of the nite until the early hours with Scott and Tony
hittin house partys and drinkin the dueg dry – I think that was one of the
best nites ever … god I suffered the next day though! Remember the alpe
d’huez stage … (you 2 know!) well I don’t …..I was in the depths of my worst
hangover of 2004 – I even had to leave work after an hour and couldn’t even
eat the breakfast that you had cooked me until the next afternoon!

Anyway I have had such a laugh and mucho memories ….  and I may well be back
next year for a PhD  … thanks to all of you its been fun

Sláinte &
Go raimh maith agat
Owen.

I also would like to thank everyone that volunteered at the race and/or helped
organize it.  Things went smoothly and Tom told me it was quite profitable.  I
will let him give the details.  Now it's time to start planning for our next
race!  Okay maybe we should take a quick breather.

Alex and I decided that this would be a good week to go to the hot springs in
Sierraville.  I can not speak for Alex but I am pretty certain that she still
wants to go to the hot springs this week, and I know that she does not check
her email all that often.  Anyone that wants to go to the hot springs should
come even if you are not racing.  I can not remember the cost but I think that
it is between $10 and $15.  Let me know if you are interested and we can work
out the logistics.  Some of us may want to stop briefly in Truckee to grab some
food and beer prior to heading up to Sierraville.  If anyone else is interested
drop me a line or give me a call.

By the way I think that there are still three Northstar races left in the
series, so you still have a chance to make it out there if you have not been
able to thus far.

Oh, and I also wanted to let everyone know that J-dog is alright.  He had to get
some stitches and he is in some pain, but he'll heal.

Christina

-------------------------------------------------------------------

You are invite to what should be a really fun Procrastinating Peddlers event
August 21 and 22, 2004. The ride starts at 8:00 am out of Markleville CA and
will included a climb up Monitor Pass then, depending on how the group feels,
either a partial climb up Ebbits Pass or a tour of Diamond Valley. Expect 2500'
to 4500' of climbing and 32 to 54 miles of riding. Consider this a demanding
ride at recreational pace. We will then head for lunch in town followed by a
short drive to set up camp at Grover Hot Springs where we have 2 adjacent
campsites booked. We can soak in the hot springs (shower included) and get
cleaned up for dinner at Bed, Bike and Bagel that evening in Markleville. They
have a very special offering of fresh bbq salmon on their outdoor patio over
looking the Carson River. That night we may find some live music in Markleville
or just return to camp to enjoy a campfire & the Ranger Rick Talk.



The next day is open ended so, one could ride again, hike or whatever suits you.
The limit is 16 persons for camping but if we fill up you can always join in
for riding and dinner or score other accommodations in the area. We will split
the small camp fee ($55.00). The hot springs cost is $2.00, and parking after 2
vehicles is $6.00 each car. We cover our own expenses for meals ($22.00 for
Salmon Dinner) and drinks ???. Sunday morning, your sponsors will make
breakfast in camp so if you can bring a little something to contribute (fruit,
juice or muffins, etc.) that would be great. Basic car camping equipment will
be needed and we will work out tents and such a week in advance when we know
the group composition.



Want to join us? Contact Louise Kehmeier 322-0558 or  sierramade@... for
details and to reserve a spot.

Change of plans! I just spoke with Alex and she can not make it to the hot
springs this week because she will be out of town.  Both of us are also a
little bit scratched up from crashing this past weekend.  We decided that next
Thursday would be better anyways, since it is the last race in the series and
there will be a BBQ after the race.  I know that I said that there were 3 races
left in the series in my previous message, but I was wrong.  If we go next week
then we can also get food and beer at the event before heading up to soak in
the hot springs, which will eliminate our need to stop in Truckee.  Good luck
to all of those racing on Thursday.  Maybe I will see you up there although I
might not race this week.

Hey Johnny,

I'm sure you got Christina's msg about doing the hotsprings on the 12th instead.  I am going to visit my Mom at her cabin in N.CA, so I am getting off a little early today to start driving there.  I won't be able to make the race this week, but I will definately be going to the last one the next week.

Thank you for all of your help at the race!!! --And everyone :)  It is great to have you on the team!!!

Have a good weekend!

Alex

Send Email Send Email
 
Apparently I was correct the first time when I stated that there were 3 races
left in the Northstar series, although now that this week is coming to an end
there are only two left.  I was somewhat confused because the web site states
that the series ends on the twelfth but there are suppose to be nine races in
the series.  The race promoter also said that there was only two races left
prior to my first message.  For those that care there will be a race on the
12th and on 19th.  I hope to see more people out there before the weight of
school is back upon us.

I also want to remind everyone that a few of us are going to ride Downeyville on
Sunday.  We will be leaving Boomtown at 7:30.  We are also riding the entire 39
mile loop so bring a lot of food and water if you decide to come.  If you are
up for a good time and a great adventure then come join us!

Hey Everyone,
Have we set up a time when we're going to have all of the nominations for offices in, and when we're going to vote.
I don't know if any of this has taken place yet, cause I haven't been around that much this summer...but if not,
I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm going to forfeit all of my nominations.  I've decided that I'm going to hurry up and try to finish with school this semester, so with the added work load,  I don't think I'll have time to do any of the work that holding an office requires.  
Hopefully I'll still be able to race a few races, though.
Oh, and I just got word that MTB Nationals will be held in PA this year at the end of October, the 30th and 31st.  
Thanks,
Amber

Yes, we need to select officers.  Our collegiate race is just slightly over one
month away! Last night I was going through my emails and trying to remember who
was nominated/interested in which positions.  I was going to send out an email
last night to all of the candidates but I ran out of time and got too tired.  I
will do that this evening.  I think that we might end up being a little bit
short on nominees.  I do not believe that anyone has volunteered or been
nominated for the secretary position or the sponsorship coordinator position.
I believe that the nominations thus far are the following:

- Co-President: Scott Phillips, Christina Stark, Tom Skiles
- Co-Vise President: (Formally Amber Broch), Christina Stark, and Tom Skiles,
Scott Phillips
- Treasurer: Alex Vanderhoff
- Race Coordinator: Scot Ferguson
- Web Master: Nicolas Connolly
- Secretary: ?
- Sponsorship Coordinator: ?

I remember the a few people suggested that Peter Graf should serve as an
officer.  Are you interested in any positions Peter?  Cody was also nominated
but had to decline due to a heavy class load.

I think that it will be rather helpful having most of the positions shared by
two individuals.  I know that the work load associated with these positions can
become quite large, and people often get bogged down during the semester with
school work.  If anyone that has been nominated for a position not currently
being shown as shared would like to have a committed assistant, then let me
know and I will solicit for additional officers.  This after all a large
undergraduate/graduate club (I do not know its official designation) and clubs
are forced to officially designate either only graduate or undergraduate
officers.  I am glad that we allow both graduate and undergraduate students to
server as officers.  As previously mentioned I think that it would be helpful
if one of the downhillers was interested in serving as an officer.  Are any
downhillers interested in filling an empty slot?  Increased participation on
part of the downhillers would help to ensure that their needs are being met.
Anyone?

I will open the poles for the only two positions with multiple nominees tonight
and everyone can vote on the yahoo group site.  The winners of the Co-President
position can choose their desired position, which will be between the position
of president or vise president.  Does this sound logical?

If I have forgotten anyone or if anyone else is interested then please drop me a
line ASAP.  I apologize for putting this on the back burner.  I was swamped
with helping organize the Sky Tavern race.

By the way Kill Bill vol.2 is playing at 9:00 PM tonight behind the JTSU on west
side of the Thompson building.  The Flipside also provides free popcorn and
soda.

I also wanted to let everyone know that I updated the Yahoo calendar with the
2004 collegiate mountain bike schedule.  Whew, did I forget anything? I gotta
get back to work now!

Christina

P.S. Amber we need you!  Good luck with school.

In order to simplify things and expedite this process I am not going to accept
my nomination as Co-President.  However, I will still accept my nomination for
one of the Co-Vice President positions.  Tom and Scott are now house-mates and
therefore they will most like speak to each other much more frequently than I
will speak to either one of them.  They are only titles after all, and all of
us are going to be working very hard to ensure that things run smoothly.

As long as everyone agrees the new club officers are:

Co-Presidents: The roomies - Scott P. and Tom
Co-Vice Presidents: Christina and ?
Race Coordinator: Scot F.
Treasurer: Alex Vanderhoff
Web Master: Nicholas Connolly
Secretary: ?
Sponsorship Coordinator: ?

It would be nice to fill the secretary position but it is not nearly as critical
as the Sponsorship Coordinator position.  As all of you know without
sponsorships we will not be able to send qualified riders to nationals, and we
might not even be able to pay race entry fees.  I hope that someone will step
forward and volunteer to take this position.  If you think that you will need
help or are afraid that it may be too much work, then I will volunteer to help
out and others may also extend the same offer.

I hope that no one feels as though I am making all of the decisions because that
is not my intent. I am only trying to organize this effort and ensure that
things move forward.  If the two open positions are not filled prior to the
start of school, then some of the new club members may be willing to accept the
available offices.

Can you email position descriptions for the two remaining positions? That way if
anyone is interested they can get more information before they start asking
questions or volunteering their time.
Thanks

Hey Everyone,
So what's the deal with the new gear? Just curious as to who has the new jerseys? Is it just jerseys or are there shorts and more? When will the next meeting be? I haven't contributed to or raced for the team since joining and I've been out of the country and away for internships all summer. I'd appreciate any and all information. Any roadies want to get a squad together to start preparing for next season? I've got two including myself so far.
Thanks,
James Pettit

I am going to try and answer your questions.  I do not know of any written PD's
for these offices and I have never officially served in either one.  However, I
think that I have a general idea of the responsibilities and expectation
associated with both of them.

Sponsorship Coordinator:
This person is responsible for updating the sponsorship package and distributing
it to potential sponsors.  They also need to write a thank you letter and
distribute it to all of our sponsors.  Additionally, they need to gather our
sponsors logos in the proper format/size, and ensure that they are added to the
jersey.  This person should also take a lead in gathering food/prize donations
for any of our races/fund raisers.  I think that this encompasses the majority
of the responsibilities.  Margaret and Steven were past sponsorship
coordinators and may be able to add or subtract from this description.  Nick
and I also volunteered to serve in this position this summer to gather
food/prize donations for Sky Tavern.  I have some information that I could pass
along that may be helpful to the future officer.

Secretary:
I believe that this person is responsible for taking notes at our meetings and
helping to distribute information.  It would be helpful if this person kept
hard/electronic copies of useful documentation to assist other officers, but I
do not know if this has been done in the past.  This person also possibly keeps
track of current members (this may be part of Alex's job?).  I do not think
that we had a secretary last year.  I believe that our last secretary was Geoff
Webb.  Unfortunately, Geoff is back home in Canada but I am sure that he would
be willing to provide some guidance/info if needed.  Does anyone else have
anything to add to this?

There are specific responsibilities associated with most of the positions, but I
think that in general the club officers are responsible for organizing
efforts/events.  They also tend to be back up volunteers when no one else is
willing or able to volunteer.  It is their job to ensure that the Cycling Club
persists into the future.

As I previously mentioned I can only share what I have observed.  If anyone has
anything to add or knows of preexisting PD's please share that info with the
group.

I hope to see a whole lot of UNR jerseys up at Northstar this week!  There are
only two races left in the series.

Oh, I have one other thing to share.  Alex and I (and hopefully others) are
going to venture over to Sierra Hot springs after the event on Thursday.  We
(I) might go back there again next Thursday, because I know that some
interested individuals are out of town this week.

Until Later,
Chris

Speaking of updating the sponsorship package...

I did some minor updates, cause I sent it out a few places this summer.  Once we elect a sponsorship coordinator, I'll pass on the "updated" version (basically, I just changed the year and racing schedule) so that we can re-write some stuff, but avoid mass-confusion by sending it out  too soon.

Hi Everyone!
 
Just a reminder that we are planning on racing at Northstar then going to the Sierra Hot Springs this Thursday (8/12) --ask Christina for details :)
 
The Northstar races are soooo fun, and the more people that show up, the better it is!
 
Even if you don't race, come on up to the hot springs anyway!
 
Hope to see you.

To Nevada Cycling,
  I know that it is a bit of a short notice but if you don't have anything going on Sunday there is a good mt bike race in Napa. (check the www.ncnca.org site for more beta) There is usually some fast people from the bay that show up. Should be a good warm up for the up coming mountain season. Historically I have done terrible at the Angwin race. There is no sustained climb but it is still a fun race with some good single track through some thick woods. Best of all, we are able to use the showers at the Pacific Union College after the race so you don't have to drive home scummy. Hope to see you there.
!Venga!
Phillips

Well if no one else is volunteering to take the sponsorship coordinator position
then I can step up to the plate. But I wouldn't mind if anyone else wanted to

Thanks, Ryan!  That's awesome of you to volunteer for the position. 

If anyone else is interested, I'm sure that Ryan will need some help.

In the meantime, I have some info that I'll send to you, Ryan.  The sponsorship package and a list of a few of our previous sponsors, etc.   I'm sure that Stephen and Margaret will both have some great info for you as well, so it might be useful to talk to them in order to get you started.

Also, we haven't had a meeting in a while.  I think it would be nice if we could schedule one for the first or second week of school so that we can direct incoming students to it at orientation.  We need to decide on a meeting schedule for the semester as well.

I think that we should maybe go back to the first Tuesday and the third Wednesday of every month...or something similar so that people should have the opportunity to make it to at least one meeting if they have conflicting schedules!

Oh yeah....and WE NEED VOLUNTEERS TO MAN THE BOOTH AT FRESHMAN ORIENTATION!! If anyone doesn't have a job on those days....just come down and hang out for a little while. Wear your UNR cycling t-shirts if you have em'.....bring your bike.....bring some photos.  It'll be fun!

I agree we need to schedule and hold a meeting(s) as soon as possible.  Our race
is just over a month away and we have a lot of planning to do before then.  I
also think that we should stick to our previous meeting schedule to ensure that
as many people as possible can attend the meetings. If anyone has any other
ideas please share them or else we will stick this schedule.

I wanted to send out the details about the information fair that is being held
this week.  I already reserved a table for the event, now all we need to do is
show up.  It will be held on Thursday from 11:30-1:30 (set-up at 11:00) and on
Friday from 10:30-12:00 (set-up at 10:00) on the Hillard Plaza, which is the
lower quad located between business and journalism buildings.  Tables and
chairs will be available on a first come first serve basis.  We will have
photos, clothing, bikes, and information on display.  Please come down and
bring anything that you would like to put on display, and help us recruit new
members!  Thus far I know that Peter will be at the booth on Thursday and I
will be there on Friday, and Amber Broch is also going to try and join us.  If
you have any questions let me know.

Thanks,
Christina

So conforming to my normal Napa experience, my performance turned out to be below average. The turn out was good. It included a couple of collegiate riders from Chico and Stanford, a few fast guys from the bay and the collegiate national cyclo-cross champ of ’03 from Oregon (Barry Wicks). I had a good start and ended up working with Aaron Timmel a good bit on the fire roads. We probably did more chatting than we should have been in a mountain bike race but it was good to see him again. My good start degraded into, not enough preparation for a 30 mile race / tired legs syndrome half way through the third lap. Things went from not so good to worse. A pinch flat on the last decent killed my position. Oh well, it was some how still a good time. As anticipated the Oregonian put time on us all. A good local representation in the women’s field, Zephanie Blasi appeared to win without even trying. Results( http://www.puc.edu/Pioneers/HMC/ ) Feel free to use this oportunity to give me shit about my performance.

So in a feeble effort to get more miles in my legs, I am thinking ride up Mount Rose highway at some point on Friday and stop off at Sky Tavern to scope out the lower mountain area for a potential short track to potentially be included in our upcoming race. I don’t have anything going on Friday except for helping out with the booth so let me know if you are interested and what time. You can call me at home as well.

On another note, for those of you that are in the market for a new mountain bike, the owner of The Backcountry in Tahoe City/Truckee has offered our club some close out prices on some good riding rigs. Check out the attachment if you are interested.

Scott and I got together decided that we should hold two meetings a month as
Amber suggested.  We decided that it would be best for us, and hopefully
everyone else, if we hold the meetings on the first Thursday and the Third
Wednesday of each month.  In the past we held them on a Tuesday and Wednesday
but Scott can not make either of these days, and he will be responsible for
conducting some of the meetings.  We are going to meet in Palmer Engineering at
7:30 PM in room 100.  Well, I am not certain about the room number but that can
be easily changed if we need to use another room.  Our first meeting will be on
Thursday, September 2nd.  The primary focus of the meeting will be to introduce
new students to the club (collect contact info, dues, etc.), and we will also
need to discuss our upcoming race.

I also need to get 9 student identification numbers from students (I think
undergrads) enrolled in at least seven credits.  The sooner I get these numbers
the better. Since, I can not renew our club with the ASUN until I have these
numbers!

Thanks,
Christina

P.S. I hope to see some of your smiling faces down at our booth on Thursday and
Friday.  Come help out if you have some spare time and bring your bike.

Hi, my name is John Martin and was wondering when and where meetings are
held.  I would very much like to join.  I attended one metting last year but
due to conflitions with work i was unable to free up enough time to enjoy
the environment.

Any reply in regards to meeting designations and such would be greatly
appreciated.

Also is the anything that i need to bring?

Thanks,
John

Hi John,

I'm not sure if anyone has responded to your email, but our first meeting will be on Sept 2 in the Palmer Engineering bldg. at 7:30pm. 

You don't need to bring anything to this meeting unless you want to pay membership fees which I believe are $35.00.

Have you been to the website yet?  It is www.nevadacycling.com. You can sign up for our yahoo list serve there--if you haven't already!

See you soon!

Whats Up, <Bro Voice>

 

I love the first day of school…  There is just something about starting fresh that just feels good.  I hope that all of you are having first-rate time as well.  I just had one thing for you guys.  Kyle E. and I are going on a MTB ride on Thursday afternoon at 5:30pm.  You should come along if you have the time. It will be a nice easy ride starting at the softball fields above campus on Virginia St.  I think that most of you know where that is.  If you have any questions just let me know.  Well hope to see you there.  Have a great day.

 

C Ya,

Nicholas

I still need 6 more student ID numbers in order to complete the club recognition
packet.  The sooner we get this done the better.  We can not claim an ASUN
mailbox for the club until this is done.  The ASUN will also make a free sign
for the club, if we are one of the first 30 clubs to turn this in to them.

Alex and Tom I also need both of your signatures.
