Hey, folks!! It's that time of year again -- time for the annual Bay Area
Women's Cycling Clinic with Nicole Freedman (a former pro cyclist who was
2-time National Champion, member of the US Olympic Road Team, and founder of
the Ford-Basis Team). This clinic is loved by participants, many of whom
return year after year to learn more. Please pass this on to your teams and
friends -- the clinic counts for up to 7 upgrade points if you're a category
4!

Thanks,
