CATitude!

Barbie Cat’s birthday week finally came to a close on Friday evening when all her feline friends showed up on the doorsteps of Kelly Cat for a grand time. Food and drink flowed through the evening and the cats were out with calendars in hand attempting to schedule the next social. We also had many Manderkittens in attendance who were content to sit pool and bar side to talk about anything other than cycling!



Claudia was quick to grab a VK kit to model. We are all in love with the kits and knew when we ordered them that we would not be disappointed. Great job to Dave, the VK designer for the purrfect fit. We are already getting ready to place another order since we all realized we want more. We’ve also added some new members to our rapidly growing team so welcome one welcome all. If anyone is still interested in learning more about our club team, please contact BarbC147@aol.com for more information.

I no longer have my CAAD 9 frame for sale but do have a CAAD 8. If any one is interested, contact me at BJSamuel@cox.net. Price is $250.00. For those of you may be thinking of doing Wintergreen but don’t have proper gearing, I have a deal for you. I have a 9 speed 12/32 mountain cassette with Shimano Deore XT derailleur with a long chain which will work with a 9 or 10 speed shifter. Bob and I have used this gearing for Wintergreen as well as Bike Virginia and it did just fine since there’s not a lot of shifting involved. Price for that set up is $50.00.

On a somber note, Barb V., Donna, Joie, Claudia, Meredith and Maggie, participated in the Daniel Hersh Memorial Ride today. Daniel was killed while riding his bike last Sunday on a route many of us ride frequently. We hope that the number of riders who showed up today will help bring awareness for all so that we can safely share the road. Our condolences go out to the Hersh family.
