MAY 15 UPDATE:
It's only 2 weeks away before our Grande Party! We must call it 'Grande' since its a whole lot of mixture of celebrations! In addition to that, we have more accomplishments to recognize! Just like El Prez, Rosalie, Jesse Agrezor, Richard Dones, Jun Usi; one more KOM Stage at Heartbreak Hundred next week, and they will earn the right to wear the 2009 KOM Series Finisher. Jaimer, Mandy, Manny Amit, Reggie Ferraz, Pete, and Francis either completed Mulholland Challenge or Breathless Agony KOM Stages. And how about Wilson Blas' first and third place finishes at CBR's Cat 3/4 Criteriums. All Astig qualifier events just like what Manny Amit and Jun Usi did lately to become one!
We can't change topics unless we mention what Legstrong has been doing lately... William Aligue aka Legstrong hasn't been given much applause as he completed 2 California Triple Crown Stage Races at a distance of 200 miles each race. One more 200 miler in August and he will add 2009 CTC Stage Races Finisher in his amazing list of accomplishments.
We also can’t forget Jesse Sta Maria’s contributions ever since the club’s beginnings, as the Club President for 4 years! We can make it officially from May 2005 to May 2009 but we know its longer than that! Those are more than 4 oustanding years of great synergy and big accomplishments managing the club. It won’t be justice if we don’t thank him!
On the different note, it will be the first time for our club to assist at a USCF sanction event and this will be at San Pedro Grand Prix come June 21st. We would like to thank Oscar Sagalongos for getting this dialogue started and we together with the officers had made this commitment as part of our responsibility to the cycling world. We have invited the organizers of San Pedro Grand Prix, Mr. Brad House and Mr. Mark Haruma to be with us during our festivities as they can shed more info and answer any questions we may have concerning this upcoming event, volunteer work, the free race as a benefit, and parking. In the meantime, please check your busy schedules and see if you are available that Sunday. We will also start the list of volunteers. We are encouraging everyone to enjoy this event which is in close proximity of Port O' Call, volunteer a couple of hours of your time and you will be able to race for free (2nd race will be charged at $10)! Registered or non-registered USCF members are very much encouraged to be part of this. I know we have a few beginners who wanted to try a Criterium race, so don't let this go by! In fact, bring your love ones and spend some time at Port O' Call also! Or enjoy a relaxing (no, painful is a better word) ride at Palos Verdes Peninsula or PV East called the switchbacks! Do you all want to see San Pedro's version of Fargo Hill Climb?
As part of the preparation for our Grande celebration, we will order a cake (1/2 sheet)! At Albertson's, order it by Wednesday or earlier. But we need your help in creating the phrases and greetings that will go on the design. If there is anyone who can actually take care of this, we will be very thankful. Our treasurer will reimburse you the expenses. I think I have some candles and glitters I can bring (I still have to check). The usual... plates (variety), utensils (all kinds), napkins, drinks (sodas - regular & diet, bottled water, Gatorade), and lots of ice are also on the works.
Please don't forget to bring your folding chairs so you can rest those tired legs. Extra tables are always a plus. I think we need 2 or 3 extra tables. Let us know if you can bring one. Thanks.
Once again, we need your help in making our "4th Anniversary-Birthday Celebrants-Great Accomplishments-New Astigs-Thank You El Prez" Party a success and easy to organize. Please post, email, or call me. Thanks!
Sincerely,
Arden

ADOBO Velo's 4th ANNIVERSARY is coming this May 7th AND we we are going to celebrate!
To get started, here’s our May B-day celebrants! We have Robert Seeckts, Dennis Gorospe, Nouie Navalta, Abraham 'Suave' Borillo, Jonas Mas, Jesse 'El Prez' Sta Maria, our Pinoy Prides WilsonBlas and Deograves Asuncion. Happy B-day to all of you!
Let's also celebrate our new ASTIGs: Jesse Agrezor for his 2nd place finish at Fargo Hill Climb and Jun Usi for braving Mulholland KOM Challenge. We may have a few more new Astigs in the making in the next few days! And the 2 big accomplishments Rosalie just earned, the California Triple Crown Recipient she earned at the earliest possible given time this year. And the new Fargo Hill Climb Women’s, record back to back! The second place cannot even get close to her climb total! AND William Legstrong for enduring his first road race in his life! The problem is, it took him 16 hours to finish this event... and it was a 200-mile race with 18,600 feet of climbing! It made Criterium and Track racing like a baby race! There will be more big accomplishments earned and newly crowned ASTIGs until party time! This month is just full of opportunities!
Last but not least, this celebration won't be complete without giving a BIG THANK YOU party to our first and former Club President Jesse ‘El Prez’ Sta Maria!
Sad to say we can't party hard on the 7th but we are going to celebrate on the 30th at Liberty Park! El Prez will be there and catering by the Uyan Family is confirmed. But we still need to coordinate all the other things needed.
If you're name appears in this announcement… you have to be there! Now will this be a convincing invitation for a really short ride that Saturday? I hope it is… So with all these good things going on, this month is not an excuse not to celebrate! Let’s all help out to make this GRANDE!
