Still 46 miles to go, we need our energy!

Sumner and his son David devour a banana split at Kimball’s in Carlisle, the first of the three ice cream stops on the CSU Ice Cream Bicycle Tour held this past Sunday. Yes, they did completely finish all of the banana split. Watching Sumner perform this gastronomical achievement was just one of the many highlights of a great day of cycling. After Kimball’s they, along with others, went on to complete the remaining 46 miles of the bike tour and of course enjoyed more ice cream at the other two stops.

USATF-NE Annual Meeting is Thu, Sept 16

Wanted to give everyone early notice that the 2010 annual meeting of the New England Association of USA Track & Field is on September 16 (always third Thu of September) at 7:15pm at Doubletree Hotel in Waltham. Even numbered years are elections for the full board of officers, sports chairpersons, and athlete reps. CSU has 59 USATF members who are eligible to attend and vote. And if you are interested in participating more in our sports, there are definitely open positions, including Cross Country Chair and Athlete Reps. But you can run for any position you like. You can have an impact and see more behind the scenes. Two CSU members are on the Board of Governors already: Lisa Doucett is an Long-distance Running Chair and I am the Treasurer.

The meetings usually get 80-100 voting members so if you attend and vote you can also have a big impact on the slate of officers for the next two years.

CSU Ice Cream Bicycle Tour, part of the MassBike Spin Series!

Back by popular demand — the Annual CSU Ice Cream Bicycle Tour, otherwise known as the Tour des Glaces! This year part of the MassBike Spin Series.

Sunday, August 8
Departs promptly at 10:30 am
Meet at Concord (MA) Center, on the green, by the water fountain

A leisurely bike ride to THREE houses of Delectable Dairy Delights:
Bates at Kimball’s (Carlisle)
Erickson’s (Maynard)
Kimball’s (Westford)

Almost everyone can do all or some of the bike ride … The ice cream eating is by far the most strenuous activity of the trip. (START TRAINING NOW!!) Although physically challenging (the ice-cream eating), the trip for nearly 30 years has been alleged to be calorically neutral, unless you insist on jimmies and/or whipped cream.

The entire loop is about 52 miles, BUT you don’t have to do the whole route… Many proud veterans of the ride have stopped after the first or second cones (easy routes back to Concord).

Bring your friends, your families, and especially your bicycles ! Contact Gail at 617-926-5149 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 617-926-5149 end_of_the_skype_highlighting or gbreslow@mos.org for more information, or to RSVP. Hope to see you there!

Note: Rain date will be sometime later in the summer. Call 857-204-4153 for a go/no-go decision if it’s rainy on the 8th.
