bike to work day?

With (national?) bike to work day tomorrow, I'm making 3 Tri-This! athletes bike with me to Fresno State where I teach/they take high school classes from McLane, where we all come from. It's only about 3 miles so not a huge deal except for the fact that we'll have to get there at 7 which is hard to do, and bring a change of clothes and stuff.

In the past few weeks we've gotten uniforms (and are the front page at http://www.oomphsports.com or at least were at the time of this posting!) and most of the kids have their uniforms. Had to tell a kid today who (admittedly hasn't paid his $25 portion of the cost which is more than 3 times that...) that he won't get his probably because ha a) has a 0.0 GPA despite repeated calls to try doing his homework and b) is pretty famous at this point for saying he'll go to practice then not showing up/answering his phone. Hey ya can't save them all :-)

We are hard at work at an innovative biking series designed to get more kids active - FREE summer bike races! the website has more information, but the idea is to design a course in the mclane high school parking lot that's kid-friendly and get kids ages 8-16 racing on it for fun this summer! We'll do a race every wednesday to keep momentum building and try to offer prizes and such. I can't wait! Sponsorships are rolling in too which is nice to see...

We have been blessed with getting payment from past events recently and that is so very nice to see! Still wrapping up the Kids Triathlon from April 25th but the Splash and Dash is a day or two away from being done and we are already planning things for the summer, etc. Life is GREAT.

and I'm getting married June 19th!
