CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR TRI CHICK on her first sprint distance in last weekends Apple Triathlon! Clearly she has been training hard as this week’s ride seemed like a piece of cake for her. Way to go Laura!
So ends the summer session of ‘Chicks in the Sticks’. Didn’t we have a blast. We’ll end in fashion next weekend on the ride to Naramata via the KVR trail. Scroll down for last weeks blog for all the details. Still waiting for your comments to your beverage of choice for happy hour?

TIPS FOR CHICKS
Well, the days their getting shorter. That doesn’t mean we give up the rides. Some of the best riding is still ahead. Cooler temperatures and slick roads are left behind when you head to the trails. The trees in the trails will provide shelter from wind and riding speeds are much slower. You know if you dress right and pick the right trails you’ll be toasty in no time. Only factor in the way is ‘light’. Take advantage of your time on weekends and think of investing in a high quality riding light to shine on your trail on short days.

We’re looking to ride long past Thanksgiving, so if you are inclined to stick with the chicks evening rides will start earlier. We’ll conquer on the Naramata trail and come up with a plan. Remember bag drop off is Friday September 4th between 7am and 2pm and final payment in cash or cheque.

Thanks for supporting the program and a big shout out to our Sponsors and my Co-Coach Cory and special mention to Heather and Kimberley for stepping in here and there. There is no ‘I’ in team and I greatly appreciate all the help to keep this program ‘moving’ forward.

Gals enjoy some good food and drink after summer’s end ride. Happy Chicks.
