Join us for our monthly Social on Tuesday July 18th at 6:30pm

Our June Social is going to be on Tuesday, June 14th at Los Cucos in the front of Kingwood.  We will gather at 6:30pm for mexican food, conversation and as always, free stuff.  We will  be raffling off some more race entries this month.

Look forward to seeing you there.

Talked with Mike at Better Bikes this week and he said they got in a nice supply of Profile Design’s tri cloths (tanks, shorts, women’s suits, etc.) along with Adomos saddles.  He also just got a new Felt B16 (size 56) and an AR5.  If you are looking for a higher end bike, Mike is selling his personal B10 (size 51) if you are interested.  Better Bikes has a great supply of tri and road gear, so swing by and take a look at what they have.  Remember to bring you KTC membership card to enjoy our sponsorship discount on bikes, gear and mainatainence.

It was a great weekend of racing in Galveston.  Many of our club members raced the Lonestar Sprint and the Ironman 70.3.  Congratulations to all of you who competed!  It was hot and windy (lots of sunburns), but it was a great first race of the season.  A special congrats to Annie Irvin who completed her first ever outdoor triathlon… and rocked it!  Any other club members have their first race this weekend?

We would love to hear your race report and upcoming plans, so take a few minutes and leave us a comment on this post about your race and/or your upcoming plans for racing.

This months social will be this Thursday, March 24th, from 6:30-8:30pm at Los Cucos in the front of Kingwood.

We moved the date because of Spring Break but next month it will be back o the 3rd Tuesday of the month.

For the March Social our featured speaker will be the Crew from Tri On The Run Fitness Center.
