August B-day Celebration Picnic and Meeting Notes (August 29, 2009)

posted ‎‎Aug 29, 2009 10:47 PM‎‎ by ADOBO Velo Cycling Club

Thanks to all who made this potluck/bbq a success!

Our August B-day Boys: Pete Primavera, Ben Aragon, Aaron Lopez, William Aligue, Chris Natividad, Steve Barreto, Reynaldo Abad, Ryan Roldan, Cyp Caces, and Louie Rivera.

2009 MEMBERSHIPS
- If you paid you 2009 membership, please submit a completed membership form if you haven’t done so.

Ride Safety along Riverbed Bike Path – IMPORTANT
- Let’s keep in mind of safety for everyone else including other people on the bike path along River Bed Bike Path. I believe it’s a valid concern. We can all ride the same way when heading out in the morning or in other words make it a neutral ride all the way back to Liberty Park.

FIRST AID KITS
- I really don’t know now who has the other first aid kits. I have one. If I can’t account for the other kits, I will be forced to have new kits gathered again. I consider this as an important item for all of our rides.
- Arnold Irving donated a box of gauge sponges.

Donations to Ryan – your donations helped organized a race in Cebu.
- Thank you for your donations.

Donations for my race at Masters Nationals in Colorado Springs.
- Thank you for your donations.
 
Donations to Diomedes "Brian" Panton
- Thank you for your donations. He will surely appreciate ADOBO Velo's donation.
 
Arnold donated tires for our spare wheelset from Wilson Fonacier’s.
- Thanks Arnold!
- We just need rim tape and tubes.

We have BIG accomplishments to recognize! I hope I did not miss anyone.

- William Aligue’s California Triple Crown Stage 3 finish! Completed all 3 - 200 mile stages! Ask for the total time and overall finish! 18th out of 68 riders. With only 8:52 hours behind 1st place. Total ride time 45:14 hours.
- Tour de Francis participants– August 15, 2009
- ITT up GMR. Thanks to William for another great idea of his. A success for ADOBO Velo’s first time trial.

FUTURE RIDES and RACES:
- Giro de Barkada in late August or early September – no updates
- Amtrak Century – El Prez and Julius S. (I’m still looking for details about this ride)
- Refer to website and also socalcycling.com for century rides

WEDNESDAY NIGHT TRAINING RIDE
- This ride is not meant to be a citerium ride. If Deo is late, we still start at 7pm and will warm-up for 20 minutes. Intervals will follow. Please follow designated speeds. We need an alternate/additional leader. Main group may be divided into smaller groups so that everyone will have an opportunity to practice sprints repeatedly. I am still encouraging everyone to ride the Tuesday night criterium as this was started by Pinoys.

YAHOO GROUP DESCRIPTION
- Its changed. Just wanted to clarify the difference between Yahoo Group (forum) members and club (paid) members.

OFFICERS AND COMMITEES
- Reintroduce officers and their main responsibilities.
- Still needing party/picnic committee - Monthly B-day and Accomplishments Celebration, Anniversary and X’mas Party picnic - coordinate dates, food, announcements and venue
 
CHRISTMAS PARTY VENUE
- Dennis made a suggestion and is checking Cerritos Park to be the venue of our next Christmas party. Possibly for free but needs forms to be filled with the inention of our club as non-profit. (More likely an indoor location)

Voting for second name change from "FIL-AM CYCLING CLUB" to "SIKLISTA FIL-AM".

- Will finalize on September 5.

ADOBOkits:
- Thank you Rosalie for working diligently on our uniform orders.
- Last ordering will be on September 30, 2009 so we can start working on the new design.

T-SHIRTS
- Manny will design a shirt and we will look into ordering nicer quality/longer lasting shirts.

MEMBERSHIP CARDS
