Hello, everyone. This is Carl with an update on Cycling. There will be practice tomorrow; everyone is welcome. Practice is at 9:30 a.m. at the school track.

Chris and I need the names of everyone who wishes to participate to know how many people we need to transport and how many will eat lunch with us at Rhododendron Park after the ride.

Reminder: We are planning our Special Olympics ride for July 20th at 10 a.m. We will meet at the boat launch parking lot just east of the Ferry (Discover Pass required) and ride a five-mile loop heading east on Highway 20, returning down Wanamaker Rd to Fort Casey Rd, and finishing on Engle Road back to the Boat Launch.

Please respond to this post, attend practice, or contact me if you want to participate on the 20th. So far, there are 6 confirmed riders, including myself.

Thank you to EVERYONE that joined in walking in the parade today. Nice to spread the word about our team.

Just a reminder to those coming to the parade with us: wear your Team Whidbey shirt if you have one, if not we will give you a shirt to wear. We are meeting on Pioneer Way near the college end at 9:00am. Hope to see lots of you there.

Everybody, please remember that there is no cycling practice next week because all of the coaches will be attending the coaches' conference on Saturday the 22nd.

Practice will resume a regular schedule at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, June 29th. I apologize for the last few weeks, including next week. With tournaments, weather, and the conference, practice has been limited. I encourage all of you to get on your bikes, stay in shape, and have fun. I am looking forward to riding with you on July 20th, and we need to discuss the picnic afterward when we practice on the 29th.

Cycling practice is canceled today, 6/15, due to weather. Have a great weekend.

Cycling update: There will be practice this upcoming weekend, 6/15/2024, at 9:30 a.m. This is optional, but everyone is welcome to participate in practices and the group ride on July 20th.

Now that Spring Games are concluded, practice will be every Saturday at 9am except for 6/22/2024 due to the coaches conference.

Good luck to all the athletes headed to Spring Games state tournament this weekend. Be safe and have fun 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏊‍♂️🥽🏊‍♀️

Good morning, everyone. I have some bad news for cycling: the proposed event for this year has been canceled.

We have decided to hold our own cycling ride, details below, we are inviting the Whidbey Island Bicycle club to ride with us.

We are planning our Special Olympics ride for July 20th at 10 a.m. We will meet at the boat launch parking lot just east of the Ferry (Discover Pass required) and ride a five-mile loop heading east on Highway 20, returning down Wanamaker Rd to Fort Casey Rd, and finishing on Engle Road back to the Boat Launch.

After the ride, we will transport the athletes to Rhododendron Park day-use area for lunch.
