Event: SWFBUD presents Bicycle Bash by the Bay - November 4th

Quote:

Hi Matt:

The Bicycle Bash by the Bay is officially on!

It's set for Sunday, Nov 4 from 11 am-4 pm at Vinoy Park in downtown St. Petersburg. It's a plum site and SWFBUD (South West Florida Bicycle United Dealers) is happy to present the bicycle festival to celebrate and promote bicycling. In fact, the Florida Bicycle Association just named the Bicycle Bash by the Bay as the "Event of the Year."

We're now inviting businesses that sell bike products to have a space at this year's Bicycle Bash. I hope you join us.

Businesses are also free to donate any money as a "Friend of SWFBUD" toward signs, banners and T-shirts.

I have attached some flyers and feel free to share the word in South Florida.

All the best,

Alan Snel
Coordinator for SWFBUD

TV Personality Bob Roll visits South Florida

Courtesy of Kryptonite Locks, Bob Roll makes a stop in South Florida. The Tour "day" France commentator drank two Heineken beers and answered questions for a good 2 hours. Living up to his reputation he was very entertaining, and was excited about the chance to speak with us "flat-landers".

Walking in the door, Bob was there to greet and take photos. I told him we dont have mountains, but we do have nasty headwinds. He replies, "Both directions?"

Right: Matt Goforth and Julie Barker, owners of On Your Mark Performance Center, pause for a photo with Bob Roll.

The Loggerhead Triathlon in Jupiter, FL

Matt Goforth, owner of On Your Mark Performance Center, will be competing in the Loggerhead Triathlon this weekend, August 11, 2007. This will be Matt's first triathlon, and we wish him luck!

Lakeland or bust...

There's a strong group of riders in the central Florida area, and On Your Mark travelled to Lakeland, FL for a group fit session. Our time there was a success thanks to the hospitality of Lakeland GNC owner Kevin Parker. Mr. Parker allowed us to set up in his office, and be our host for the week. Kevin is also a competitive road racer in Category 3, and we anticipate continued improvement from him since becoming Wobble Naught!

We are also looking for great things out of Sarasota resident Greg Derosa who is an expert level mountain bike racer. Greg and I raced against each other in the 2005 Goneriding FSC, and he could be the most improved mountain bike racer in the state. We hope his new bike fit will allow him to reach his potential and continue down the road of success!

Another athlete to look out for is Nicky Ezell of St. Petersburg, FL. Nicky will be competing in the upcoming Cancun 70.3 Ironman.

I enjoyed working with everyone! Good luck to you in your upcoming competitions!

Note: August 15-16, 2007 I'll be returning to the Lakeland GNC for another group fit session. If you would like to get fit please call, or email, and schedule an appointment.
