[Sent to the NCCC mailbox]

Hi, my name is Tim Szlachetka and I am the Outreach Specialist for the REI store in San Diego.  I wanted to introduce myself and let you know about some clinics that I think would be helpful for North County Cycle Club members.  On Saturday, August 2 and Sunday, August 3 we will be having coaches from Carmichael Training Systems coming to both our San Diego and Encinitas locations to host various clinics on cycling and multi sport training, and nutrition for endurance training.  Below you will find the full descriptions for the up-coming clinics.  Please feel free to pass this information on to anyone that you think would benefit from them within the NCCC.  Also, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

? As it has since 2000, Carmichael Training Systems (CTS) leads the coaching and personal guidance industries with proven and innovative products, services, and content. And the results speak for themselves; no other coaching company produces more champions, in such a wide variety of sports and age groups, than CTS. And of the four American cyclists to wear the yellow jersey in the Tour de France, CTS coached three: Lance Armstrong, George Hincapie, and David Zabriskie. From its corporate offices in Colorado Springs as well as regional centers and coaches around the country, CTS continues to deliver on its mission: To inspire and empower the athlete in EVERY BODY to perform at their best.
