GREENVILLE SPINNERS FIRST FIFTY

Saturday ~ January 2, 2010 ~ 10:00 AM ~ Furman University

2010 Greenville Spinners First Fifty Ride
 

Driving to Furman my car outside thermometer indicated 28 degrees.  Then Steve called and said the Vitamin Water donated by BiLo had ice in it.  After setting up, the Spinner's tent and banner caught some wind and almost turned into a parasail.  I tried to crack a few cold weather jokes at the start of the pre-ride instructions - that got a few smiles but they were short lived as the wind whipped up again.
 
After all this, It was amazing to see about 75 riders brave the cold and wind and head off toward Table Rock at the 10:00 AM start.  
 
Lynn and Andre pulled off a great assortment of hot drinks at the Table Rock break.  I think this was the most popular item among all the goodies.  Thanks guys!
 
We had one mechanical issue on they way back that couldn't be resolved on the side of the road so we hauled the ride and bike back to Furman.   As far as I know everyone safely completed the event.
 
Thanks to this years First Fifty Team:
 
Steve Yetman - SAG and road marking
Andre and Lynn - break with hot tea, coffee and cocoa!
Ric Ramos - Pre-ride mechanical support - Greenville The Great Escape
David Enter - Furman Security - campus direction signs, gates and bathrooms open for cyclists
 
Below are a few images from today.  I hope you enjoy them. Ken Drescher, Spinners Touring

 Lights for Life

The Spinners (provided funding, manpower, and promotion - even a bike by Larry Smith) along with help from Carolina Triathlon and Upstate Bike & Skate provided 38 lights to those that needed them most at the Triune
Center, The Salvation Army and Project Host Kitchen.

 

"Michelle, Thank you again for taking the time to help keep the bikes for our clients safe on the road. I am so impressed with the spirit of your group and your willingness to make a difference. We appreciate all that your association is doing to better life experience for the Greenville community as a whole. Take care"

Greenville Spinners 2009 Race Team 

 
Greenville Spinners Racing is a USCF sanctioned cycling team that is open to all Greenville Spinners who want to race their bikes.  All ages and abilities are welcome.  To race as a Spinner you simply join the Club, identify yourself as a member of Greenville Spinners Racing on your racing license, and race in the current team jersey. 

 

Greenville Spinners Racing consists of Cat 5, Cat 4, Cat 3 and Masters racers.  We travel throughout South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia to participate in USCF sanctioned road, mountain and cyclocross races. 

 

Benefits of racing as a Spinner include:  (1) association with like minded teammates with which to train, travel and RACE, (2) sponsorship perks (varies from year to year), and (3) partial reimbursement of entry fees (subject to funding).

 

The team is in the process of finalizing sponsorships and kit design for 2009.  The 2009 team clothing order will be placed in the next few weeks.

 

If you are interested in racing as a Spinner in 2009 (or learning more) , contact Bo Campbell (bcampbell@hortonlawfirm.net) or Randy Hutchison (rhutchis@gmail.com).
