Oh no, sorry to hear! Try emailing gear@dctriclub.org. With NTP starting later this year, I think a lot of them weren’t able to get a club kit so maybe there is enough interest for a fall order.

Welcome Lucie! For open water swim practice, you could try checking out the Wave One weekly swims. Dennis the organizer and quite a few of the swimmers there are experienced in swimming in cold water and can probably give you tips. A tip that I recently learned with swimming in cold water is to put on 2 swim caps!

Hi Heather, did you mean a pannier or a saddle bag? If it’s pannier for commuting or bike packing and you would like something waterproof, you could look into Ortlieb or Banjo Brothers (not as pricey as Ortlieb). If it’s a small saddle bag for a spare tube and tools, you could look into Topeak Aero Wedge.

8:30  for me as well

I’ll be riding and I think a couple of other folks are joining. Looking like great weather for tomorrow!

I’m signed up for Poconos too and could be interested in the cabin. Will send you a message.

Sorry to hear. I don’t know for bike coaches but there are some confident cycling classes including one by WABA if you’d like a refresher for riding in the city? We also have a weekly Zwift on Tues which should be picking up soon with Off-Season Spin if it would help to ride inside?

Great, see you there Matt!

Yay to John Sener for doing his first triathlon! We also had a number of people that self-trained since there was no NTP this year and I would like to nominate Charles Taylor for RoTY Male who I think did three triathlon races including Luray and Cal Tri DC!

We had a number people doing their first half at Ironman Maine 70.3. In particular,…[Read more]

I believe it’s still summer time, 7:30 in Georgetown. This weekend there could be some folks out at Waterman’s Tri but there’s usually someone there!

You’ll be fine. With a Gran Fondo, you won’t be racing the whole time as only the timed segments count. You can either go hard on the timed segments or take it leisurely like a century ride.

I’m doing the Gran route but anyone can join for any distance. The fun thing about Gran Fondo is that you can sort of ride together in between segments so we…[Read more]

Hi Chelsey, I think the place that the club would go to is Giuseppe’s. There’s also a lot of breweries but that might be better for post-race. Have a good race!

Welcome to the club, Greg! Some great riding in Frederick. There’s a club happy hour this Thursday if you would like to join and meet some other members.
