Last Saturday’s Ride: Mellow were the riders who left Kman for the Saturday ride out to 58, Creston and on to Paso and hot drinks at Cider Creek.

New Year's Day ride Report: Jan. 1 was a beautiful day to ride up the coast...Colorful beads, crashing waves and riders galore...it reconfirmed that cycling is alive and thriving in the Central Coast..while it wasn't quite a beautiful day to ride down and up 46 due to the howling gusty winds Mark, Kurt, his two friends, Terry and Louise safely arrived in Cambria to join the crowds and reconfirmed that even a difficult day of cycling is better than any alternative.

Q & A regarding the new Kinetic Challenge:
The Kinetic Challenge is in program development so your questions and participation becomes part of its progression.
Q-->Can a team member sign up for the kinetic challenge, AND the swim/bike/run?
A-->Hours and/or Miles/meters can't count for both swim/bike/run and Kinetic Challenge
Q-->Does a yoga class count, or does it need to be aerobic activity?
A-->A Yoga class would count as a Kinetic or also known as a Fitness Hour
Q-->I've been walking instead of running, since there isn't a "walk" category, am I required to log my time now rather than miles?
A-->Fitness walking can count for either Challenge the Kinetic or Run.
Q-->Suppose I train for walking a half-marathon...Does walking count for the kinetic challenge or the running challenge or not at all?
A-->Fitness walking can count for either Challenge the kinetic or running.
Q-->Does the kinetic challenge have a definition? Does it consider classes at Kennedy, or is it cardio only?
A-->Fitness hours. So, Yes, Kennedy classes, Fitness walking, and cardio
Q-->Will the Five or Better Club offer a Kinetic/Walking Challenge?
A-->All the "running" events are also Fitness Walking events. If a member has a specific event to add or delete from the 5 or Better then the Board will consider adjustments.
