SWIM --
Strawberry Canyon Aquatic Masters Swim Meet: A great university pool and facility in Berkeley.  A well run swim meet with events for everyone. Short course, yards.  Come one, come all!  Sunday, March 28, 2010. Pick up a flyer at workout! Mail-in deadline is March 16th. Online deadline is March 24th.


Lots of Birthdays at the pool this week. See the picture!! Nancy Prier swam an ENTIRE workout with balloons. Heroic!  Deb Bond was here as well and swam with a pod of K-swimmers on Saturday.
 
=================================================
Bike:  
Last week  - lots of water in the creeks which overflowed onto River Road and Airport Road.


•Saturday Ride March 6th We will try to avoid the rain and any flooding across the roads by riding the Pozo Parkhill loop.  We'll leave Atascadero Kman at 8 am and head south down El Camino directly to Santa Margarita to Pozo road, up the Rinconada climb and on to the fire station at Pozo  (27 miles) where water will be available at the fire station.  Then we continue on around and up to Las Pilitas/HueroHuero intersection (39miles)  where folks can choose to head down Las Pilitas and back to town (19 more miles) or continue on Parkhill to 58.  There the option is to turn left and head back to the store or go right and head to left on 229 where we ride up and over to Creston for refreshments.  Once at the store the route home is riders' choice.  Remember to bring food and drink for the first 50 miles.
In the event of rain the above ride will be re-scheduled for Sunday.  A confirmation email will be sent to that effect on Saturday morning.
