Cycling Friends,

 

It is with deep regrets that our scheduled Giro d' Barkada will be moved towards the end later part of August or early September.

 

The ride has bee re-scheduled to a conflict with the Nothern California/Nevada Masters District Championship.

 

I sent out emails to all concerned cyclists and friends last month and again early this month but unfortunately, I still missed a few who have already made plans for the 3rd GdB and I once again apologize.

 

The main reason for the re-scheduled GdB is because our Masters, Tom Alves and Manuel Reynante have a big chance of getting a podium finish in the 60+ and 65+ or better yet a Gold. With this possibility we really can't pass up the opportunity as they carry our colors and make us proud. Both just finished in the top 5 at the Leesville Gap Road Race (60 miles w/ >5000 feet of climbing).

 

Our Team Coach and Team Mechanic will be with them in Minden, Nevada for this championship event. They will be supported and followed by the Vellum Team car on the road race driven by our Team Coach and Team Mechanic.

 

All logistics are in place including the hotel where they will be billeted for this weekend.

 

Let's all wish our masters the best of luck and ride hard and safe!

 

Again, my apologies...

 

As soon as the date is set, I will inform you immediately.
