•Ride: Saturday, 03/14/09
- Leave AKman at 8 am and head out on Curbaril all the way to Mercedes to 41 to left on Templeton road to right on Lupine, to left on Hollyhock, to right on Neil Springs to Creston Rd then stay on Creston all the way to the store ( or we can go right on South El Pomar to El Pomar to Cripple Creek and back to Creston Rd.) Then on to the store. (about 20ish miles) Then we take La Panza to 58 (30 miles), then a right on 58 to HueroHuero (37 miles), left on HueroHuero and climb to Parkhill (42 miles) then turn down Las Pilitas to return to the Akman store (62 miles). A longer alternative would be to continue left on Parkhill around to Pozo and home.

The Solvang Century is this next Saturday. I believe that there is race day entry. I know Martina Kingman and Kristie Lahr are doing their FIRST CENTURY!!


•Ride to San Diego ??? This from North County Rider, Glenn Gaw. "I would like to entertain the idea of a 3-4 day bicycle ride to San Diego. I'm thinking of Spring/Summer. I've talked to a couple of people who said they're game. The discussion hasn't gone past that. Would anyone really be interested? (We have a volunteer) to function as sagwagon. The thought is to hotel it for the way down, take the train home. Cost of lodging, food, train ticket, would be somewhere around $300-$500 per person, depending on how many make the trip (Lots of variables here!). If you are indeed interested, I would like to know via RSVP. My contact information is below. Thanks!

Run:

From Robyn.. "(We had) our first night of "speed" workouts at the Atascadero Lake Park. Former members Megan and Matt Miranda were there as well as visitors Mindy and Brian McLane. We did 400 on and 400 off times 5-7. Our times were between 80-95 seconds for the fast 400's. It was a beautiful night with great camaraderie. We all worked together supporting each other in our individual ventures. Any and all, please come and join us. There is such flexibility in this venue for workouts. Join us! 5:00 pm at the Atascadero Lake Park parking lot by the zoo."

The Sunday
-->Meet 8:30 at Bethel Road Park. We do a variety of mileage and everyone is welcome: Walkers, Sloggers, Joggers, Runners. Thank you Martina for leading a great run last week! Donuts, Juice, and good company.

Robyn reports: "I am looking for volunteers for the upcoming Hares N Hounds 5K. I could use some helpers for race packet stuffing theThursday night before the race, volunteers for registration, finish line and course. Please contact Robyn Schmidt if you are interested. runninrobyn@gmail.com

Big Sur Marathon Relay - We are still looking for a 5th female masters runner for the Big Sur Marathon Relay in April. The relay legs are between 4 miles and 7 miles. It will be along the beautiful Hwy 1, fun with other Team K-Man ladies and of course lots of chocolate since our name is "Team K-Man Chicks on Chocolate". The entry fee per person is $60. The hotel room for 1-2 nights will be around $30 per night per person. Please contact Robyn Schmidt with any questions.

T&Th morning runs - If anyone is interested in running with us Keith and Robyn run at 8:30 am on Tuesday and Thursday mornings we will start from the Atascadero Lake Park/Zoo parking lot. Tuesdays are easy 4-6 miles. Thursday mornings are farlek.

Track Workouts - I would like to start the "track" workouts up next Wednesday evening (March 4) at 5:00 pm. Instead of at the High School track, where the High School has soccer games for at least 3 more weeks, we will meet at the Atascadero Lake Park. There are 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 and 1 mile distances marked. Runners, walkers and short distance, pacing cyclists are welcome. Kids can play at the park with a designated caretaker while others go around the lake. Come join us and enjoy the beauty of the lake and invigoration of a well done workout.

-->Saturday March 21st @ 8:00 Hares and Hounds 5K and Youth 1/2 mile Runners/Joggers/Walkers/Volunteers appreciated. Robyn Schmidt will have more information of volunteering soon
