Gaylen Little called the hotel and reports: "....spoke with Mike(at the front desk) regarding our stay on February the 16th. He will honor the post card rate of $69.00 providing you have the card when you check in. Without the postcard the rate is $89.10 for a queen bed, however you have to talk with Mike directly between 8:00am & 3:00pm for this discounted rate." I told him our group name is "K-Man" to keep it simple."
•Saturday’s Ride 01/17/09: Let’s leave Kman at 8 am and head out El Camino to Curbaril to Santa Ysabel to 41 to Templeton Rd to left on El Pomar and continue as it becomes Vineyard to crossing 46 to right on Willow to left on Peachy to right on Vineyard to left on Adelaida to right on Chimney Rock to right on Nacimiento Lake Road to left on San Marcos to San Miguel. After a stop at the coffee shop we will head out to Cross Canyon and riders can either return to Kman by way of Pleasant to right on Estrella to Left on Airport and right on Buena Vista etc. or continue on Cross Canyon to Rancho Conchita to Hog Canyon and ride the loop back to Estrella and back to Atascadero. River Road has been under construction so this route attempts to avoid it’s use. Any update on it’s condition would be appreciated!
Last Saturday’s Ride: Fog, Fog, Go Away and don’t bother to come back, at least on a Saturday morning!!! It was so foggy when Doug, Mike B., Terry, Kurt, and Louise rolled from Kman out to El Camino and Rocky Canyon that we only saw Len riding backward on RC because he was wearing his bright yellow Kman attire (with his matching red leg warmers)! Mark G. joined the ride in progress as well. As we made our way out Lupine the fog was so thick it was hard to recognize the terrain and shift properly for the rollers!! Luckily for us the sky cleared and the sun shown as we turned onto Creston Road for a brisk paceline ride all the way to 41. Hot chocolate and brownies were the power food of choice at the Creston store and we continued out O’Donovan to 58 to Huerhuero and up to Parkhill. Mike and Mark turned down Las Pilitas while the rest of us extended our enjoyment of what had turned into a perfect cycling day by heading “down” Parkhill to Pozo road and Colby Jack’s. While we were attending to a slow leak in Kurt's back tire on Pozo Road Francios and Ellen stopped to say hi as they were driving back into town after doing a mountain bike ride at the Lake. K-People are Everywhere!!
=================================================
Run:
•No Sunday run/walk this weekend due to Castle to Coast --- the - Castle to Coast run is Saturday 01/17. Members are encouraged to participate in this walk/slog/run event.
•Last Sunday - Last Sunday we had a light day of running/walking. Several K-runners and K-walkers were out Sunday morning for a run/walk around Peterson Ranch and Templeton. Fortunately the expertise of the 'Dog Whisperer' was not needed. As well as getting ready for a team run at Castle-to-Coast (this weekend), we learned of a new run in the area - sure to be a great K-adventure. Plans are in the works for a half-marathon (99% trails) around Santa Margarita Lake in October.

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.
