Thank you to all team El Grupo riders for their hard work and welcoming attitudes to me as I’m learning the team culture and how to mountain bike again. Attendance is increasing at practices which is fantastic, however again it must be said that with covid related cases back on the rise in Arizona, that we remain vigilant with our mask/distancing protocols. Mask up continues for inside clubhouse, and re-groupings on trails and roads.
As we look forward to a possible NICA season, we plan on re-setting and addressing fundamentals. We will start a progression with September in mind, and also getting our newcomers a chance to adapt to the exciting challenge of stepping up to Team El Grupo.
Also to note are some fun cross training nights. I’m looking forward to these as I’ve heard great things about these sessions. Please ensure for these practices that you bring sneakers, a towel, water bottle and a supplemental gallon jug of water.
Lastly, nearing the end of July we will host a couple of ‘bucket list’ level rides of Box Canyon (thanks for the suggestion Elliot) and Mount Lemmon.
