Jersey Ride:  We had a nice turnout for the Jersey Ride on Sunday 10/27 which was followed by a hearty brunch at Mom's.

End of Year Party:  The annual CTC End of Year Party will take place Saturday November 23rd at 6:00 PM at 217 Idyllwild Circle in Chico.  The event is hosted by Jennifer Moore and Jay Pothier.  The club is providing dinner and non-alcoholic beverages, but please feel free to BYOB.  All current club members and their guests are welcome.  An Evite has been sent to all current members (to the email address we have on file for you).  Please RSVP via the Evite if you have not already.  If you are a current member and did not receive an Evite, or just have questions about your membership status, please contact Katie Nyby (membership@chicotriathlonclub.com).  She can ensure that we have your correct email address and can also have the Evite resent if needed.

CTC Board Elections/Nominations: Board elections will take place at the end of year party on November 23rd.  If you are not able to attend you will be able to vote via email in the week prior to the election.  Nominations are still open, but will close Wednesday November 13th.  If you are interested in serving on the board, or know someone who might be, please nominate them (or self-nominate) by the deadline.  There are 8 positions available; half will be two-year positions, the other half one-year.  The position durations will be finalized by the new board, but all nominees will be asked to state a preference if they have one.  Please submit nominations via email to Justin Waller (jcwaller900 at yahoo dot com).

Monday Night Fun Run:  The Monday Night Fun Run has been led by Kat Ketterer for quite some time, but unfortunately, she now has other obligations and will be unable to continue.  First off, thank you Kat for leading the run for as long as you did.  Secondly, is anyone interested in taking over?  The run has historically been a casual paced recovery run that starts at 5:45 PM on Mondays.  It typically begins at One Mile in the summer and moves to Wildwood Park in the winter.  I’d like to know if there is interest in keeping it as a regular workout.  Please send any feedback about the run, including interest to lead it,  to president@chicotriathlonclub.com.

Ironman on TV:  The Ironman World Championships from Kailua-Kona, Hawaii will air this Saturday, November 16, at 1:30 PM on NBC.  Set your DVRs now.
