Just wanted to remind all the Newbie's that the 15th of May is the first activity for those of you not signed up for the Training Camp.

Come join us to learn how to go from a bike ride to a run and how to deal with the "dead legs" that you have in the run.

I'm interested. is it an all day event? and how can i find directions?

[lessthanmike]

I'm not sure how long it will last, but Bonnie Park is just south of Pearl Rd. on the Valley Parkway, where Albion Rd dead ends.

I am planning on around 10-15 miles of riding and 2-3 miles running. Should be around 90 minutes or so.
