Winter meeting and weekend recap

We had a great turn out for our FAB winter meeting! I am guessing around 45-50 people.
Our memberships for all members runs until the end of Feb so it was the time for some of us to renew for the coming cycling season. The Mayor has some pics of the event here.

For 2009 we have 40 signed up already!
20 are 3 year participants
8 are 2 year participants
12 are joining for the first time
WhoooHooo! We also have out of the 40 signed up already two yellow jersey members!

Out winter meeting committee (David) did a GREAT job organizing. The place (Pizza Ranch) worked pretty well I thought and the speakers were diversified enough so that it was informative. Our speakers talked about club racing, multi week long distance rides, sorter camping rides and then Ragbrai. All very informative. Of course there were also door prizes that local bike shops donated. As always thanks to Scheels, Harlan's Bike and Tour, Two Wheeler Dealer, Spoke n Sport, Prairie Cycles, and Cycle SD for their help in growing our cycling community!

The rest of the weekend was spent just doing misc stuff nothing to wild. This morning I am starting to feel like a cold is coming on. Zicam is on board already and going to have to push the fluids.

Busy work weeks coming up and also two days of inventory the end of this week...UGH! Inventory for me will be in a room with NO heat and with a cold this will be a blast. I will be layering up!

I think we are heading to Bridge City this coming weekend. Should be a fun time.
