The Early Bird Female Bring it on
Plenty of Opportunity for the Female Racer at the Early Birds 2009
8:30 women cat 3 (50 min) race/debriefing
9:30 advance strategies and tactics
10:30 women 123 (75 min) race
noon early bird mentoring (fundamentals)
1:00 women cat 4 (40 min) race/debriefing
3:15 junior girls (16 and under) (30 min) race/debriefing
Are you ready for criterium race training? Bring the team to practice
strategies and tactics. Most important; encourage beginner female
racers to attend the early bird mentoring (fundamentals) and the
mentored criterium race (wcat4). A smart way to grasp the fundamentals,
get comfortable in a pack and ask questions from our skilled mentors.
Also the Get Ready for Racing Clinic on January 3rd is a
clinic that supports female beginner racers to better understand
race fundamentals and to gain knowledge about the early bird series and routine routine.

FYI
Here are some tips to share with your beginner teammates who will be attending the
Sunday Early Bird Series. http://www.velopromo.com/ebcr-ent.htm
-Be at the venue at least 30 to 45 minutes before event (to prepare).
-Be at each event on time.
-Bring extra water.
-Meet at the registration area to help teammates fill out race forms (I will be there to assist).
-Have race numbers pinned on before clinics begin so the beginners could use the porta-potties before each race (between clinic and race).
-Bring extra cycling clothes and socks, lots of gear to keep warm.
-Bring money for race.
-Bring food
Hopefully this will help to ease any stress. I will make an effort to be nearby the registration table to assist a new racer. Looking forward to seeing you all at the Early Bird course.
respectfully,

2009 Early Bird season; women do it good.....
Cat three women, you have a chance to race/train, twice. Once in the wcat 3 mentored race at 8:30 and then again in the training race with the wcat 123 at 10:30 including an advance strategie and tactic clinic between which would be favorable for an individual or an entire team. The beginner female racer could take advantage of the advance strategie/tactic clinic and then stay warm on the trainer and watch as the women cat 123 race evolve and unfold each week, and then the beginner racer will participate with the fundamental clinic and the mentored wcat 4 race after wards.

A good solid 4 hours of training on the bike on a weekly basis surrounded by knowledgeable and enthusiastic mentors to guide and to evaluate.
The "Get Ready to Race Clinic" is one way to understand the fundamentals off bike, have an idea about the Early Bird schedule and get acquainted with the Early Bird mentors. The 4PM slot is almost full. Good going teams!!! Continue to encourage your beginners to sign up for this event. https://www.sportsbaseonline.com/Item.aspx?id=3002
Again; 2009 Early Bird season; women do it good!
January training, works just fine,
