Fundraiser for Jay Guthrie

Jay is a fellow cyclist and an all-around good guy. He's been fighting cancer for a while now and there will be a fundraiser for him on Thursday, December 3rd at Now Bikes and Fitness in Arden Hills (map). See message below from Steve Thatcher, head of Ride & Glide Cycling & XC Ski Club for more details. See you there.

I'm sure most of you have heard about long time R&G club member Jay Guthrie and his battle with cancer. Now Bikes, County Cycles, HED and R&G are joining together in a fund raiser to help Jay and Anne with medical bills. To that end we will be having a "Get Together" at Now Bikes in Arden Hills on Thursday Dec 3rd at 7pm. We will be showing the video of Greg Lemond's 1989 TDF victory over Laurent Fignon and will have a "Guest Speaker". Steve Hed will be talking about aerodynamics and what's happening in bicycle racing. The video has special significance as it could be claimed that Greg's victory over Laurent was instrumental in the beginning of the aerodynamic era in bicycle racing. Steve will also talk about what's new at HED and I'm sure have many fascinating stories and will take your questions as well.

We'll have pizza from Davannis, which is right next door to Now, and beverages and some door prizes generously donated by HED, Now, County Cycles and R&G. Tickets will be $20 at the door and get you one ticket in the door prize drawing and free pizza and good times. Extra tickets for the drawings can be purchased as well.

So please come on over to Now and socialize with your cycling buddies, swap stories about Jay, and take some time off your trainer. You may even win one!

Please RSVP to Steve Thatcher at sdthatcher@q.com so we know how much food to get.

By all means please forward this to your cycling friends that may not be on this list.
