Heard from my Mom that Nuclear Missile Silo the car decided to take advantage of this weekend’s surf from Atlantic hurricane Kirk.  Felt like sharing the moment when she got caught hanging ten on my board:

The last two weeks, we’ve seen downtime come and go.  For the next few weeks… we get more downtime!  With regionals not being until October 26th, we decided to plan a couple events to keep everyone entertained (but first, housekeeping)…

1. Fill out the nationals eligiblity form if you have not yet done so.  You have only another day and a half to submit this to be elegible to go to nationals in November.  Please do this now – if you fail to submit this, you will be unable to go to nationals.

2.  Sign-ups for regionals are open in the Dues-Paying Groupme.  You have a week from today to sign up.  This will be an overnight trip, we plan to head up Friday, stay in hotels, race, and return on Saturday.  If it comes down to it, the first 32 people who sign up will have their hotel paid for – after that, you will have to pay the club back for your hotel.  A couple other important tidbits of information reside in the Dues-Paying GroupMe, including “no-show” information.

Now for the fun stuff!!!!

1. SHIRTS ARE IN!!!!!!  We will have these at practice on Tuesday.  Following that, Andrew will bring them on days when he is able to.  All dues-paying members may collect a free shirt.  If you are not a dues-paying member, give us a week or so to make sure everyone who paid dues can get one, then we will see if we are able to sell you one, depending on supply numbers.
2. At this point, I’ve collected 4 or so club shirts… and, frankly, I’ve got enough.  I love them, but I would love a club shirt that really feels like mine.  Well, this year, we opted for white shirts.  Another thing that we had wanted to do for a while was a tie dye event.  So, this Saturday we plan to do just that – Club or Dye, a tie-dye and kickback event.  I will be tie-dying my club shirt, and anyone else is welcome to do so.  We will provide dye, beverages, and snacks.  However, the event is BYOS.  So, if you have any white shirts laying around that you want to dye, bring them on over!!!!!!!  We will send more info in the GroupMe, but the current plan is to do this Saturday at 5pm at the big ole green house where the pasta dinner was.  
3. Directly following Club or Dye, we will be heading to Chipotle for a fundraiser.  More info will be sent this week in the GroupMe – but the TLDR is that for every sale we “earn” at Chipotle on Saturday between 5-9pm we will get a portion of the funds.  So……….. DINNER AT CHIPOTLE ON SATURDAY!!!! (After tie-dyeing of course).

Lastly, routes for the week.

As always, other routes are welcomed to be proposed on the day – this is just what we plan for on any given day.

Anyways, that’s all for the moment.  I will recap all this at practice over the next few days, but look forward to a good week of workouts and a fun weekend.  Everyone get some good sleep and see you all tomorrow
