Brick-n-Pics for the 2009 season have been scheduled for May 2nd and August 8th. These are multi-club, multi-facetted events. We do a run-bike-run brick workout on the Columbia Tri course in May and the IronGirl course in August and then we have a picnic! This has always been a great time and all parts of the brick and pic are optional. Go at your own pace this is not a race and no one will get left behind. 

Biking 101 will be held on Sunday, May 3rd. The purpose of this session is to provide beginning cyclists with information about road safety, rules of the road and basic cycling skills. There will be a classroom session followed by loops around Gateway during which experienced cyclists will ride with the beginners and offer tips on shifting, bike set up, hill riding, etc. This is a collaborative effort with Baltimore Advocates of Howard County, HoCo Cyclists, and APL Cycling Group. More details will be posted when they are available.
