LOTS of Important Info in here – PLEASE READ!!

 

1.) Homework – In preparation for Sunday’s Team Presentation and Supporter Appreciation, ALL RIDERS are being asked/required to prepare a short response to one of the following questions.

  • It should be no more than a half page or 250 words or less.
  • It should be heartfelt, sincere.
  • It should express gratitude that you feel to those who make it possible and will be reading/listening to these statements.
  • It is DUE before 5pm THIS SATURDAY. 
  • Typed up, emailed to Daniela, printed or neatly handwritten so that someone else can read it.

For 6th grade and younger:  What is your favorite thing about El Grupo/ito?

For 7th and 8th grade: What do you think is the most valuable skill(s) el Grupo has taught you?  (that can/will be used outside of el Grupo)

For 9th and 10th grade: What skills have you gained while on El Grupo that help you NOW in other aspects of your life?

For Juniors and Seniors: When you move on from El Grupo and look back on your time with the team, what experiences will you value most?

 

2) Manzo Bike Club! An expectation of all Team El Grupo riders is to contribute through outreach at Manzo Bike Club at least TWICE each semester. Coach Donovan has put together a Doodle Poll to help you pick the dates you want. The sooner you sign up, the more likely that is. If you cannot make a Monday 4-5pm or now Fridays 3-5pm, on any of these dates, after carefully reviewing them, please email Donovan – donovan@elgrupocycling or sign up NO LATER THAN FEBRUARY 1ST! Failure to do one of these things will mean YOU WILL MISS the next race/event coming up. Seriously. No excuses. This is important. Please do it!
