Thanks to Ariel Trader, we now have a twitter feed! C’mon, join the fun by following us.
In other news, as you’ll read on our feed, registration for the women’s clinic is now open. We will announce when registration for the Gapers Block Crits is open on twitter first- so get on board!
It’s heating up at Half Acre Cycling Global HQ, as spring draws nearer and we move out of our base period and start really turning things on.
This weekend, the HAC dirt crew is headed to Ray’s MTB in Cleveland to do some pre-season skills tuning, and maybe even some sweet jumps into the foam pit. If you’ll be there too, give us a holler!
We’re putting the finishing touches on our women’s road clinic (3/20) and Gapers Block Crit Series (3/22-3/26), so keep an eye here for registration details. More space in the men’s field, an on-site EMT, lower fees for women, and welcoming women’s 3 riders should make a good thing even better.
For members, please note the February meeting has moved to Saturday thanks to the Super Bowl. Our hot new kits are in and we’ll be distributing them there, so don’t miss it! Details are on the team forum.
Since we could all use a little sunshine in our riding-the-trainer-in-the-basement routine, it’s time to think spring.
Mark your calendars for Half Acre Cycling’s spring beginners’ events:
Saturday, March 20 – Women’s Beginner Road Clinic
Monday – Friday, March 22-26 – Gapers Block Crit Series
A smackerel more of information is on the events page, but the real details are forthcoming. Still, at least you know how many days until the first starting whistle… 67 days!

We’re flying high in the off season, we hope you are too! Thanks to everyone who helped make 2009 a fantastic year for Chicagoland cycling. See you out there in 2010.
Reminder, riders: team meeting (and Adrienne’s birthday) Sunday!
