November Meeting - Thursday November 8th

Please attend the November meeting of the Upstate Tri Club on Thursday, November 8 at 7:00 pm at the Caine Halter Family YMCA at 721 Cleveland Street in Greenville. The Tour Divide is the world's longest, most difficult mountain bike race, traveling some 2750 miles from Banff Canada to the US Mexican border. Participants navigate their way on a mixture of gravel roads and single track, riding bikes weighing some 45-60 lbs with no outside support or assistance. The 2011 edition went down in event history as "The Snow Year" with 75 participants from around the world time trialing through extremely difficult conditions.

Upstate South Carolina native, Richard Ridlehuber, an experienced adventure racer and 30 year cycling veteran with experience on the road, off road and the velodrome, participated in this adventure of a lifetime and has one heck of a story to tell. Remember, all of our meetings are open to the public, so feel free to share this email with anyone who you think would be interested in our topic. Please join us and bring a friend.
