President's Corner

As we enjoy the long Labor Day weekend, it’s hard not to feel that summer is coming to an end. There are only four more official Hoppy Hour rides. Days are getting shorter. However, this does indicate the start of a fun part of Swami’s calendar. September begins our training rides for the Swamdo in November, and October will feature our Fall Club Night. So while we all go dig for our arm warmers and vests, we know we will have a fun and challenging fall season coming our way. See you on the road!

9/1 Social Ride

On Sunday, September 1, we're hosting our monthly Swami's Social Ride. It’s a conversationally-paced ride where you can meet long-time as well as new Swami’s members. 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 coffee and baked good on Swami’s!

9/14 Swamdo Training Ride Number One!

The Swami’s Grand Fondo - Swamdo - is the queen stage ride of the Swami’s calendar. Featuring climbs of Couser Canyon, De Luz, Champagne, Olive Hill, and more, the Swamdo is challenging and beautiful in equal amounts! Whether you think of a century ride with 8000 feet of elevation as old hat or an impossible dream, you’ll be in shape for it if you join us for our five Swamdo training rides, which will build your climbing and endurance skills and get you in shape to start and finish strong.

Starting Saturday, September 14, five of our Saturday rides will leave from Rouleur Brewing (map) at 8:00 am. Dates are 9/14, 9/28, 10/5, 10/19 and 10/26. Note that 9/21 will be our regular monthly Swami’s World Famous ride. More information will be posted at https://swamis.org/events-calendar and our Facebook page as the dates approach. Just in case, there will also be a 70-mile medio and a 40-mile piccolo version of the ride.


9/18 Hoppy Hour Grand Finale 2024

On Wednesday, September 18, the sun sets at 6:55 pm, marking our last official Hoppy Hour ride of 2024. Get your rides in now while it’s still light! The rides leave from Rouleur Brewing Company (map) at 5:30 pm. As always, if you ride in Swami’s kit, the first beer after the finish is on Swami’s. See our website for more information about the ride.

Live each moment completely, and the future will take care of itself.
