Hello MountainAdoras!

We have a LOT of exciting things in the works at the moment so buckle up and get ready!

First off please see the attached calendar for this month’s rides. BBB will continue on Mondays with a 5:30 start time as we now have more daylight (yay!). The Saturday road ride is taking a bit of a hiatus this month as many of our volunteer ride leaders are off traveling the world and doing fun things. We hope to bring this back in the coming months.

CLINICS – Friends... We’re trying to do a BIG THING and bring a rad MTB coach from Colorado to SB for a clinic this summer BUT WE NEED YOUR HELP TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. We’re hoping to bring Chris Schieffer out to coach 2 full days of clinics June 22nd and 23rd. The total cost of the clinic will be $175 for about 7 hours of coaching (which is a STEAL when you compare it to other clinics), but we’re asking for a $75 deposit to secure your spot. We can have 8 women each day and the clinics will be broken up into skill levels (Beginner/intermediate on Saturday, Intermediate/Advanced on Sunday). Please register ASAP (go to the SHOP tab on the website) to save your spot and help support this effort!  We still have a bunch of logistics to work out but we really would love to bring awesome coaches to our area to support our mission. Need financial assistance? Please reach out and we can see what we can do!

Jerseys – DELAYED. Nothing ever comes on time these days, am I right?! We will reach out to those who ordered with an update as soon as possible.

Sea Otter festival! – Who is going this year?! Let us know by filling out this google doc (or email me if it’s not compatible with your phone) and let us know when you’ll be there, if your racing etc if you’re interested in hanging. We’re planning 2 meet-ups this year! A happy hour at the Peak Design tent on Friday at 4-6 PM and a SB happy hour at Dust Bowl Brewery – Tap Depot in Monterey Saturday at 7 PM. Please join us!!

Senduro – welllll weather hasn’t been our friend in the attempts at the Senduro but this month’s route is back in SB and should be BEAUTIFUL with all the wildflowers and green! Check the Senduro tab on the website for this month’s route, log it on Strava (make sure you’re a member of the MountainAdoras group), send us photos on Discord, or tag us on IG. Let us know how it went! Kate will be leading a group ride on the route on the 13th. Please reach out for more details or keep an eye on the Discord/IG for meet-up specifics. Prizes will be awarded at our next monthly meeting (we will actually have the prizes this time, promise!)

DEMO DAY – save the date! We’re hoping to host another demo day at Elings with Velopro and Specialized in the evening on May 16th. More info to come on this! We’re hoping to be able to provide an opportunity to try a full suspension MTB, eMTB, or gravel bike. More info to come on this.

Our Next Monthly meeting will be April 29 7PM at Topa Topa in the Funk Zone – come by, hang out, help us plan our next month!

Happy Shredding,

Rachel
