To those of you who were able to make it out to last Friday’s kickoff party, thanks! It was allot of fun, especially seeing how many new connections were made. I am really excited for the momentum we have.
If you were unable to attend or did not grab a set of forms and order sheets off the table please download the digital versions. It would be great to get these all filled out so we can order the swag as well as get to work upgrading the clubhouse! If you are not able to pay this week just let us know so we can start getting an idea how many people we have to get started.
Thanks to those who have already paid their dues Cory has started work on the shower!!! As dues roll in we will be able to put in the TRX rack and bottle/towel service, not too mention pick a couch for the lounge (please keep your eyes and ears open for people selling or giving away couches).
Our first team meeting will be next Monday at 7:30pm, these will happen once a month and we encourage any and all to join us and help organize and drive the club.
The goal of the The Crew is to provide a community, organization and facility to allow outdoor enthusiasts to train, travel and share new experiences together, learning from and leading each other.
The Crew is non-exclusive, we welcome member of other teams and organizations. There are no coaching programs offered by the club, instead you are free to work with any coach you choose.
As a member it is expected that you take your turn in leading or organizing activities and share your experience with the other members.
Finally and most important, check the drama at the door…
IT’S ALL ABOUT FUN!!!

I’m off to Kona for vacation in 2 days with my bike in my Hellium!
I’ve been looking for a bike carrier for a long time. Some offer very good protection from the outside, but the internals are rarely completely thought through, and you end up having to add straps and foam to protect your bike. Additionally, many are large enough to be easy to pack but this makes them difficult to maneuver into smaller vehicles.
The BIKND Hellium is different. Its semi rigid, with the base and ‘nose’ being high strength plastic and hardened ballistic nylon, respectively. The carrier uses a fork mount and strap to hold the frame in place. The wheels, in essence have individual carriers with the hubs protected, and the case is intended to carry 2 sets of wheels. To protect everything, the case is made of sturdy ballistic nylon and has 2 inflatable bladders that provide cushion. To further protect your bike, they provide fork leg covers, a stem cover, a crank/chain stay /chain cover, and several Velcro straps, they basically thought of everything that most leave out. finally, it has uncommonly free rolling wheels making it quite easy to move, and loaded, it fits on the back seat of an older Subaru (sedan) with no problem or strain.
A few things to note that I was not as excited about. You have to take the stem off, I’d love to be able to just drop the bars… And the pump they provide, while it works just fine, does not show the level of thought that was put into the rest of the carrier.
Overall, it’s the best thought out piece of equipment I’ve seen in a long time, and I’m pretty picky, looking forward to traveling with my bike!
