  We're racing people across the world in Zwift!

  Join President Kimi and Sponsorship Director Marc as we race in Zwift in the Crit City race every Wednesday at 6:45am.

  We also do a 25min warmup Zwift meetup starting at 6:15am with zoom to get us motivated to race and mute during race and finally, race recap post-race.

  You must register on your own for the Crit City race in Zwift. 

  Follow Kimi Ueda in Zwift companion and either register here or email at president@ggtc.org for details and to be added to the warm up.

  Some race tips: 

  1) At the countdown, start pushing hard before the race clock hits '0' (I start at 10 sec to race time)

  2) The sooner you go to the start line of the event, the closer you are to the front of the start line (I usually let Zwift automatically take me to the Crit City event during the warm up at about 4:30 before the race starts)

  3) Stay with a group. You will draft off each other so find a pack that is about your speed and try hard just to stay with them. You'll have to work harder if you ride alone. 

  4) Use your power ups (the aero helmet, the feather) as you’ll get another when you cross the finish line of each lap

  Also, register in Zwift Power and join the GGTC team (Cesar Valera). If you aren’t aware of Zwift Power, it keeps people from sandbagging. So cheaters are disqualified in the rankings in Zwift Power.  It's a pain to set up, so do it when you have time and not right before the race

  Tired of squats in your bedroom? Join in for the Lyon Street Stairs Challenge and get some altitude!

  The Lyon Street Stairs Challenge runs for the entire month of January.

  The goal is simple: Get as many Lyon stairs repeats in as possible in the month of January.

  There'll be prizes for the most repeats and the fastest single ascent.

  For the time being, this is a virtual challenge. If restrictions loosen up through out January, we'll organize a few (socially distanced) workouts.

  Once you registered, keep TRACK YOUR WORKOUTS HERE (honor system, don't cheat yourself!) .

  Looking to start your 2021 athletic journey? Completely new to triathlon? Looking to build upon your current fitness? If you answered YES to any of these questions, then GGTC’s Tri Life program is right for you.

  Designed by GGTC Coach Cesar Valera and President Kimi, this 5-week program is designed to incorporate triathlon into your daily life, rather than training towards a specific event. Each week will target a different aspect of triathlon - swim, bike, run, strength and recovery - daily workouts will be designed around the weekly focus.

  By the end of the program, participants will be ready to unleash their inner-triathlete and tackle their 2021 training on-head.  

  The program includes the following:

  • A training plan in Training Peaks designed by Coach Cesar
    
  • Weekly group strength via Zoom led by our fearless Ambassadors and Board
  • Weekly Zwift/Rouvey group rides for those with trainers, outdoor ride adventures for those without
  • Bi-weekly educational seminars and happy hours with Coach Cesar, our local experts or our sponsors
    
  • Weekly challenges with giveaways from our sponsors
  • A Tri Life tech shirt to show off your dedication to your new lifestyle

  The program is priced at $100 for members and $140 for non-members.

  ***HOWEVER, new GGTC members only pay $50. Current members will be able to access the program for $50 if you renew their membership for a year; $25 if you renew for two years and complimentary if you renew for three years. This special, introductory offer is available until 11:59pm on Sunday, January 10, 2021***

  Join or renew today to receive your discount code to register for Tri Life

  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Happy New Year! Our Kick Off Party is not until March 20th this year - we are monitoring covid and safety precautions for what we can do both socially & safely.  

  New to the club? Not new to the club? Want to meet someone new? For the start of the year, we'll be organizing small groups of 3-5 to get together - right now this will be over zoom due to covid restrictions and safety precautions.  No more than an hour of your time! 

  Please sign up by Friday, January 15th. Ambassador & Board pairs will be leading the planning for each small group with the idea to do something fun the last week in January.  This will be a great way for new/newer members to meet others members and anyone to be able to reconnect and have some laughs in a small setting :) 

  Any questions or suggestions, please contact Jordan @ social@ggtc.org. Thanks!

  Kick off the inaugural Bikes 'n' Beers Happy Hour Hang with ambassador Hannah! In this series we will discuss various bike-related topics, including maintenance, training, and how to avoid riding outdoors like a social outcast. I'll also be posting one fun snack recipe for bike and other adventures! So grab a beverage, log on to zoom and let's chat!

  1/28 -
  Bike: roadside maintenance - pre-ride checks and gear to bring, tire changing and minor on-road adjustments (sluggish shifting)
  Food: granola - get those new years resolutions going with this healthy and delicious bike, breakfast or sitting-in-front-of-TV snack. Recipe below!

  When: January 28th, at 7pm-8pm
  Where: Zoom! Link to be provided (you must register in order to be sent the link)
  Who: You! I welcome questions, thoughts, comments and hearty discussion from anyone who's into bikes, beverages and food
  
  Questions? Email me! Hanmbates@gmail.com

  Hope to see you there!

  Crunch, clustery granola recipe:
  - 2 cups of old-fashioned plain ol' rolled oats
  - 1-1/2 cups of nuts or seeds, untoasted
  - 1/2 cup ground flaxseed
  - 1 cup shredded, unsweetened coconut
  - 1 tsp each cinnamon, nutmeg
  - 3 tbsp maple, honey or other sweetener
  - 1 tsp salt
  - 1 egg white or flax egg
  - 1/4 cup oil, butter or other fat
  - 1 tsp vanilla
  - Dried fruit or chocolate chunks

  Mix the liquidy ingredients together, then combine with the dry ingredients. Adjust sweetness / saltiness to your preference! Bake at 300F for 25 min on a non-stick or lined tray, flip with a spatula in an attempt to retain clusters, then bake for another 20-min or so or until golden. Cool, consume. Consider adding dried fruit and/or chocolate chunks after it's all cooled if you're after a delightful on-bike snack!
