Pilates For
Steam
I have
managed to secure a really good Pilates instructor who will do a casual class
for Steam members on a Saturday morning specifically to strengthen your core for
cycling and running. A lot of people have indicated interest in
this, so if you could let me know if you want to attend at ciclismo@tpg.com.au then I can organise a
class or a series of classes if that is what everyone
wants.
Stretch &
Strengthen your
entire body
Firm
your abdominals
Create
Long, Lean,
Toned muscles
Pilates is a
mind-body fitness
program that not only helps you create your best body
ever, it also helps you feel mentally &
emotionally Balanced, Calm & Refreshed.
When: Saturday 10am after
training session in Centennial Park

towel

Please see attached
information sheet about the instructor. I can highly recommend her having
attended her classes on Saturday afternoons for the last year or so.
Anna
STEAM
T-Shirts
All 2006 members can pick up a stylish STEAM T-shirt
from Anna on Saturday morning at the caravan after training (9AM), some other
pre-arranged time (ciclismo@tpg.com.au)
or at the latest on Tuesday morning after training (7AM). Please try to organise
to pick them up as Anna and Daniele are moving on Tuesday and there is
only so much STEAM clothing you can carry on the back of a Ducati.

Coaches Corner
So
when you get home from a ride do you just park your bike & don’t check it
before your next ride?? If you’ve had a mechanical problem on your last ride get
it checked by your local bike shop before you attempt riding it again because it
could be dangerous or prevent you form completing your next ride .There is
nothing worse than being stranded out on the road because of a mechanical
problem that you could have avoided had you had it checked
out.
QUICK
BIKE CHECK LIST
1.
TYRE PRESSURES 110PSI
2.
TYRE WEAR
3. DOES
YOUR CHAIN NEED OIL?
4. CHECK
YOUR CLEATS ON YOUR BIKE SHOES AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK FOR SCREW TIGHTNESS &
WEAR.
5. DO YOU
HAVE A SPARE TUBE ON YOUR BIKE I NORMALLY CARRY TWO ONE ON MY BIKE & ONE IN
MY POCKET
6. BRAKE
PAD WEAR KEEP A WEEKLY CHECK ON WEAR SPECIALLY IF YOU’VE DONE A LOT
OF WET WEATHER RIDING.
7. BOTTLE
CAGE SCREWS FOR TIGHTNESS & CRACKS
STAY
IN
LANE
Remember when
riding in a group & taking off from a stand still it’s important to stay in
the lane you’ve stopped in. Reason is there may be traffic approaching fast on
either side of the group & are not expecting any riders moving into there
lane’s .This happens mainly when your taking off from a set of lights & your
trying to cleat in & a rider in front of you has had trouble cleating in you may be forced to move to the out side of the
rider please try & stay in the lane but if you can’t make sure you glance
over you shoulder so it is clear to move over or give the rider a chance to
cleat in before overtaking them.
Also
best of luck to all competing in the Round the Bay in Melbourne
David
Bowman , Allan Marks, Andrew Caie , Warren

TRINSW IS
LOOKING FOR GOOD PEOPLE!
With the strongest committee in many years,
and much to do for our members, (that's you!), TriNSW is looking for some good
people! Read on!
Casual office vacancy:
A casual employment
position has arisen at TNSW to carry out the key Executive Officer functions
while the Executive Officer (Cris Ashcroft) is on leave from time to
time.
The two (2) forthcoming leave periods are from 7 to 26 October 2005
inclusive and then 11 to 28 November 2005 inclusive.
TNSW wants to offer
its members the first opportunity to fill this casual employment position.
Expressions of interest are therefore sought from appropriately qualified and
interested members.
Further details about the role can be obtained
from the Secretary (Peter Coulson) through email address: peter.coulson@asx.com.au
Assistant Web
Master/Mistress:
Last year we also called for volunteer help to
assist Mike Bundy with the main website; and due to some lost emails we've
misplaced the respondents so if they'd like to re-submit, as we're looking to
find an assistant web master also. The task is to learn the web system and
assist the committee by loading pertinent information across the comprehensive
website at www.trinsw.org.au
TriNSW Race Team:
In the coming weeks TriNSW
will finalise and confirm all dates for TriNSW events, including the TriNSW
Kurnell Sprint Series, TriNSW All Women's BIG Day Out and the TriNSW Club
Championships, plus we're planning the TriNSW State Championship Series, the ITU
U23 Oceania Championships and we're working on some exciting new
projects.
As part of a mentoring system designed to bring new blood into
the racing organisation within NSW, we're looking for members who'd like to get
more involved in the TriNSW race program across the 2005/2006 season as
volunteers in the following areas:
Volunteer Coordinator
Logistics
Coordinator
Aid Station Coordinator
Race Equipment Coordinator
Media
& PR Coordinator
Community Liaison
VIP & Function
Coodinator
Transition Coordinators (4)
Sponsor Liaison
Swim, Bike and
Run Course Managers
You'll be working with experienced operators such as
our Race Manager, Nick Munting and the Race Crew/team led by Vinni Sedgewick and
Phil Bates.
We're also looking for some one in the car trade who may be
able to provide a striking lead car for the events (set in the Cronulla, Penrith
and Port Stephen's areas initially)
And TriNSW is also moving ahead on a
broad range of sponsorships so if your firm/corporation/industry has a marketing
department that would look at triathlon as part of their marketing mix, we'd be
ever so keen to talk with them!
All enquiries for the above can be
directed to nick@trinswrace.org
