Happy training for the week of 4/22.

Wildflower Century this Sunday: The Chico Velo Cycling Club is holding its annual Wildflower Century this Sunday with ride options ranging from 12 to 125 miles.  The organizers are in need of volunteers and have asked CTC to help out, particularly on Sunday from 4:00 to 7:00 PM at the Fairgrounds after the ride.  Volunteers will receive a T-Shirt, food, and an invitation to the post-ride Volunteer Appreciation Party (date and location TBD).  Those interested in volunteering should contact the event coordinator, Stacy Canada, at volunteering@chicovelo.org for more information.  Please let her know you are a member of the Chico Tri Club.

Black Butte Practice Triathlon:  CTC will once again stage a Practice Triathlon at Black Butte Lake a week before the scheduled races.  This year's event will take place on Sunday morning June 2.  Details are still being worked out, but preliminary plans include covering the basics of setting up a transition, a kayak-assisted open water swim, an easy paced group ride on a portion of the bike courses (road or mountain), and an option to run a portion of the run course.  Details will be provided as the date approaches, but go ahead and mark your calendars now.  Questions about the event can be directed to training@chicotriathlonclub.com.
