Written by Sara Hacker

Sunday, 04 December 2011

Looking for a training partner? Need a ride to an event? Want to know who else is going to be at the races you have on the schedule for 2012? Look no further. The Vulcan Tri race calendar spreadsheet is here!

How it works: Area races are listed on the spreadsheet with basic race information such as location, date, and registration fees. There is a place underneath each race listing where you can put your name if you are planning to do that race. Since the spreadsheet is in Google Docs, anyone can edit the doc by adding races or updating race information. There is a tab for each month. January races are listed onthe January tab, February races are listed on the February tab etc. etc.

So be sure to put your name under all of the races you plan to participate in this year. You can see the spreadsheet HERE.

As a reminder, the club purchased two Thule bike travel cases for members to rent for a nominal $10 per week. The biggest thing we ask is that you place a sticker from the race or destination. So far, the cases have traveled from California to Germany!

Check the club calendar for bike case availability. If you are interested in renting a bike case for an upcoming race or vacation, please email us at info@vulcantri.com.
