We (Jean Ann and Sandra) are celebrating the one day of the year that Barry lets the two of us work together with a special newsletter designed for women by women (or for husbands, boyfriends and fathers who would like to get the special ladies in their lives a special cycling-related gift for Christmas). We are also celebrating the addition of another girl into the world: Congratulations to Barry and Nona on the birth of daughter #3 on December 4!

Local Ride Racing Sponsorship Opportunity
The Local Ride Racing Team (LRR), fresh off a successful 2008 racing season, are seeking sponsors as they plan their leap to the next level of competitive cycling in 2009. Since the team’s debut in 2006, the squad’s racers have achieved a high profile in the community and on the race circuit. The squad has expanded to include an elite women’s road team headed by Laura Brown, current National Team Pursuit Champion and Canadian record holder on the track. These inspiring women will be competitive at BC Cups and leading cycling events throughout North America. Supporting these local teams is a great marketing opportunity for businesses in the community, as the enthusiastic and dedicated team members will be sure to showcase your business at the province’s premier cycling events, including the Tour de Gastown, which attracted nearly 40,000 spectators in 2008. To request a sponsorship package or for more information, please contact Barry Lyster at Local Ride Bike Shop.
