We are a USAT sancationed club and our goal is to focus on training, education and fellowship.
From a training standpoint, the idea is to bring together folks from all levels, which should allow everyone to learn from one another and get an idea of who may be training for the same race. How many many times have you shown up at a race and run into several folks that you have see from around town? Wouldn't it have been great to know who would be attending that race? What about having someone or a group of folks to train with? What about a group of athletes to bounce training or racing ideas off of?
Education wise, our goal is to utilize some of our local contacts like Fleet Feet Sports, Studio 7 Multisport or Rock N Road bike's. Wewill bring in folks who can provide us with info ranging from product info, to proper bike/shoe fit to proper training/race nutrition. In other words, information that you would typically have to pay for, we will have at our meetings.
Fellowship is really self explanatory, the more people the better. Anytime you can bring together a group of folks with a common interest, there is fun to be had.
