President's Corner

I'm very excited for 2021!  Partnering with Eliel was a great first step to the season, and we're psyched to welcome them to the Swami's family.  They're a premier clothier and we love to support a local North County business.

While 2020 is in our rearview, it's still in our draft.  Until restrictions are lifted and we're safe to ride together, our group rides will remain on hold. 

The events committee is working diligently to plan a year's worth of events that can be implemented virtually or in-person, whatever is permitted.  Look for announcements soon that will explain the programs.   

I wish all of you a safe start to the new year.  As always, I look forward to receiving your feedback on how we can provide a better membership experience for the club. 

See you on the road,
 - Ryan

FREE COFFEE FOR GURUS

Starting on February 7, we'll begin our monthly self-service coffee rides.  As long as you wear your Swami's kit, you can earn a free brew!

These coffee rides and other COVID-compliant events are planned until we can safely return to group workouts.

More details coming soon!

Please take a moment to complete the survey.

We look forward to seeing a summary of her results once the study has been completed.  Thank you!
