Team K-Man News October 1, 2010

Linda (Somers) Smith spoke at our team socials a couple of times. You might remember her as the Olympic marathoner who drinks diet Coke in the morning before a marathon. She is a good friend of mine. If you were at the Heritage Oaks Family Fun Day you might have seen her win the women's division (and beat most of the guys) and have the fastest "age graded" time. Well, we just found out that she ran a "World Record" time for women over 45 years of age (she is 49). WOW! AWESOME!

Saturday’s Team K-Man ride.

Meanwhile, I am sure that I speak for all of us in wishing Terry Lentz (and others) the best of luck in taking on the Furnace Creek 508 on his personally built classic bike. It is a formidable challenge, which makes it well-suited to Terry’s formidable talents.

Go get ‘em, Terry, Steve, Mike and others!

We will meet at 8:00 a.m. at K-Man Cycle & Run. We will go south on El Camino Real to Viejo Camino where we turn left. We will then turn left at Santa Barbara, riding out and around past Grandpa’s Pond to Sandoval and then back out to El Camino Real, where we turn left and head south again. At Highway 58 we turn left and follow 58 out toHighway 229, where will go left again. We will then do the climb and descend down into Creston, where there will be a regrouping stop. From there we go north to Highway 41, where we will turn right, then left onto Creston Road, which we will follow to Geneseo,where we turn right. We then take Geneseo until it forks and there we continue straight on to Linne Road. At the end of the flat dragstrip section on Linne, it will be right onto Airport Road, then left onto Niblick. We will take Niblick to Creston Road in Paso Robles, where we turn right. We then stay on Creston all the way to the bridge where it becomes 13^th, which we take across the bridge and past Park Street to Amsterdam coffee shop. From that point we can figure out which way to go back to Atascadero: River Road, Vine Street, Peachy Canyon or, for those seeking a longer ride, Adelaida Road.

See you Saturday.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL THOSE PARTICIPATING AT TINLEY THIS WEEKEND. IF YOU WANT TO AND AREN'T REGISTERED YET CHECK OUT THE NEWS BELOW! ...

Hey fellow Team Kman'ers!

I just won a contest through KSBY and Tineley's triathlon for a free race entry!!! Of course, I have already entered the race (not wanting to decide to do a race the day before!) and they won't refund my money for the race entry! :( But they will let me transfer race entry to anyone of my choosing. So...anyone want to race tomorrow? They said it can be any of the race distances. I just have to be there the morning of the race (tomorrow) with the person to sign up. Let me know if you know of anyone!

Thanks,

Cindy Gilbertson
