Thursday Run

Don't forget the run tomorrow at 6 am. Meet at the La Verkin Stake Center.

Saturday Workout

It is time to get your bikes out of the garage, check the tires, give the chain a squirt of oil, or borrow a bike and join us for a bike ride on Saturday, February 2 at 8 am.

We will start at Over the Edge Sports (76 E 100 S in Hurricane) at 8 am. We will determine the distance when we start, depending on how far you all want to go. We can go anywhere from 5 to 50 miles. And we can have multiple routes for different skill levels.

Bring a bike (mountain or road, whatever you have access to) and a water bottle. I will have some nourishment (gatorade and granola bars) for riders.

Any suggestions, comment at the end of this post. Also check the blog later in the week for updates, in case the weather is bad on Saturday.

New Sponsor

We are pleased to announce the addition of a sponsor for our club. Over the Edge Sports, a new bike shop in Hurricane has offered to be a sponsor. They will help meet our needs for those interested in triathlons. They carry a wide array of road, mountain, BMX, kids, and cruiser bikes and gear.

All paid members will receive the following benefits from them:

• 15% discount on all non-sale merchandise (excluding bikes)
• 5-10% discount on complete bikes
• free personalized bike fitting with purchase of a bike
• And we are working on a few more perks.

Quentin and DJ Morisette are the owners. They are avid cyclists (mostly mountain). DJ has been a professional cross-country mountain biker since 1995. Both Quentin and DJ have participated in many triathlons. They are going to be great assets to our club, especially when it comes to bikes.

They also offer rides from their shop. On Wednesdays at 10:30, DJ runs an all women's mountain bike clinic. It is free and they offer discounted rentals for those interested. They are also going to have mountain bike rides on Saturdays at 11. Check the next issue of the Hurricane Valley Journal for an article about the new shop.

We may begin starting our road bike rides on alternate Saturdays at their shop (Check the blog for specifics on all workouts).

We are very excited for this addition. They are located at 76 E. 100 S. in Hurricane. Their phone number is 635-5455. Go check them out and let them know you are part of the Hurricane Runners' Club.

Saturday Workout.

Don't forget we are having a run tomorrow at 8 am. Meet at Classic Sports and bring a friend. We will have water on the run.

Dam 2 Dam Reminder

Just a quick reminder that today is the last day to register for the Dam 2 Dam 5-mile run to get it for $15. It will be held on Saturday Feb. 9 at 10 am. Click here for a registration form or go to Classic Sports.

If you are a paid member of Hurricane Runners' Club you get $1 off.

Thursday Workout

From now on we will meet at the La Verkin Stake Center at 5:55 am for our Thursday workouts. Tuesday workouts will continue to start at 5:55 am at Classic Sports. We just thought it might be nice to have a weekday workout on both sides of the valley. The routes will change, but the starting place will remain the same.

If you have any suggestions on these workouts, let us know. And we hope to see some of you there.

We are also thinking of adding a weeknight track workout. Any comments, let us know in the comments section.

In the News

Two articles appeared in the last few weeks in local papers. The Spectrum had an article in the Hurricane Valley section. The Hurricane Valley Journal also published an article on the club (I'm partial to that one). Read the full article here.
