Women's Road Bike Ride

Looking for fun, supportive, and energetic women who want to ride and train with other women? The women's team is also looking to increase the number of women who race, but racing is not required to be part of Shuksan Velo Club (Fanatik Bike Co. Team). Focus is on building the club in the women's arena so that we have a larger pool of women to ride with. SVC is not looking for the fastest riders out there, but those that enjoy the sport, enjoy supporting each other in races, enjoy learning and improving thru monthly team rides that are skill development rides. There are additional benefits for those riders that want to achieve or are at the Category 1-3 levels.

Join us for a "no-drop" ride on October 3rd leaving from Fanatik Bike Co. at 9:00am. For more information, ask Robin Robertson! We'll ride out to Samish Island and stop at the Farm to Market Bakery in Bow for a treat on the way back.

The Flooring Begins...

Scott moves the wood floor bundles into the group fitness room; 50 bundles weighing 70lbs each!

Laying out the materials. The blue pads on the left are flipped over to show white when they are layed out. These pads give the cushion to the flooring.

Jerry the flooring specialist begins to set the wood floor...

What do you mean the oak for the ramp is not stained? Robin takes it on...

A New Coat of Paint

We figured that while we had the group fitness room emptied out during its renovation, we'd give a fresh coat of paint to the one wall that gets "used" during classes. Check it out!

Watch Us Change!

We have begun our $20,000 renovation of our group fitness room....check it out! If all goes as planned, the renovation will be complete by August 16th. You can see why our group fitness classes are cancelled this week.

Pictures: Left = Before; Right = After removal of carpet and carpet baseboard. If you look carefully, you can see the old tennis court lines to the right of the rolled up blue padding.

The next step is to prep and paint the baseboard area.
