President's Corner A team is nothing without its members, and I believe Swami’s members are some of the finest. We support each other, ride with each other, help fix each other’s flats, and create friendships outside of cycling. Our members are a big reason why being the president of this club for the last year and half has been fun and very rewarding. |

A club also needs to be supported and run. To that end, I thank all members of the board of directors and advisory board for all they do. I’m very excited to announce that Kimberly Krenek and Patrick Hailey have joined the Swami’s advisory board. To all members, I say, if you ever want to be more involved with the club, please let us know. We’re always looking for volunteers for our events, and we’re always open to new ideas about how we can improve this club of ours. Mark Steele |

You can check out all of the details here. A reminder: we now start and finish the Social Rides at Bird Rock Coffee Roasters in Bressi Ranch (map). Wear a Swami's kit from any year to get a free pastry and coffee or drink of your choice. |

Shuffle BoardWe’re excited to welcome two new members to the Swami's advisory board! Patrick Hailey will be drawing on his experience of performing superhuman exploits to help with ride planning and scheduling, and Kim Krenek will help us build and expand our D ride offerings. We're glad to have them on board. Director Tatiana Dearinger is stepping down from her board of directors' duties but is staying on as an Advisory Board member. Her contributions are too numerous to list, and we literally can’t thank her enough for all she’s done as a director over the past two years. We’re thrilled she’s still with us as an AB member! |
