We have teamed up with the MyAthlete folks, so you can have real-time GPS tracking for your CT Challenge Bike Ride. You won’t even know the 2.2 ounce tracker is there, but your friends, family, and donors can track you on their computers, phones, and on the MyAthlete big screen TVs we will have at the Hunt Club on the day of the ride. Learn more about MyAthlete at their website – http://www.myathletelive.com/
If you want to take advantage of this offer, the process is simple:
1) Register and pay 29.95 at this link; select CTC2011 from the event menu at registration.
2) Pick up the MyAthlete device at the MyAthlete tent on the morning of the ride.
3) Return the device at the end of the ride.
After you register and pay for the device, the MyAthlete folks will send you a link that you can give to your donors, your friends, and your family, so they can track you from anywhere.
DON’T WAIT. You must reserve your tracker before Sunday, July 24.
This ride is for B & C level riders. Wheels up at 8:00 am from the Trek Store in Fairfield.
If this is your first training ride with us, remember to bring a signed waiver you can download here.
One way to improve your experience and performance on the bike is to have your bike professionally fit to your body. Taking precise measurements of you on your bike, a professional fitter can make minor tweaks to your bike setup, like adjustments to seat/handlebar height and position, that can help you in a major way!
Registered CT Challenge riders get a free bike fitting on Tuesday, July 12th, from 5:00 – 7:00 pm at Smart Cycle in Norwalk. 300 Strawberry Hill Avenue; (203)831-9144.
Dr. Rob Zembroski, Director of Darien Center Integrative Medicine will be on site to offer input on gait analysis as well as nutrition.
Get your CT Challenge weekend started with a little carbo-loading. Friday, July 29th from 5:30 – 7:30 pm, join your fellow riders under the big tent at the Hunt Club for a delicious dinner of pasta, salad, breads, dessert, beer and wine, and plenty of non-alcoholic beverages to enjoy. Dress is very casual and children are more than welcome.
