WHEN: April 30, 2012 (Monday), starts at 6:00 PM SHARP!!)

WHERE:  Steve & Debbie Bozeman’s House (see directions below)

WHY:  Exercise, eat and socialize with other area multi-event athletes and celebrate the third year of Iron Gate Triathlon Club.  www.IronGateClub.com

               The Lynchburg area has had over 40 triathletes complete a full Ironman distance race and hundreds more have completed shorter “sprint” distances such as The Angels Race. The Iron Gate Triathlon Club was formed to help promote fitness and camaraderie in these multi sport events.  The BozeMan Biathlon will now be held in association with this club in both, for support of the club and for liability reasons. Participation in this event is contingent upon being a member of the club. The annual dues are $25.00 and also include discounts at several local merchants, many upcoming training and competitive events of the year, which you will recoup your dues by the events and meals alone.  Not counting the camaraderie and fun!!  Club motto is, “Every Distance, Every Level . . . One Club.”  You must be a club member a full day before event, so send in wavier and dues ASAP.  No race day entries due to insurance requirements.

       This will be the 11th BozeMan Biathlon and this can be a fast race for those competitive folks and a fun event for the novice triathlete. Following the “exercise/endorphin fix” phase, we will have a time of eating, awards and socializing to meet new friends and renew old acquaintances.  NOTE:  Team competition is an option where one person run and another bike.

       There will be a “Chili Cookoff” after wards, so bring your best!  Others can bring cold slaw, corn bread and other foods to compliment chili.  The club will provide the soft drinks and “cold ones” (for you serious IPO beer lovers – help out and bring a few extras of your favorite).   Awards will be “unique,” so bring an old t-shirt or trophy that I can give away to some other lucky finisher.

Important:  Run and bike course is on public roads, so all state laws apply, and all bike riders are required to wear helmets.

Note: arrive early (no later than 5:30 PM) and bring a towel and change of clothes to relax after wards by the pool for chili/social/awards.  The 3 mi. run is rolling hills and 11 mi. bike course is “clockwise and right turns” and goes from our house to Holcomb Rock, Trents Ferry Rd., Boonsboro Rd., Rt. 501 North, Winding Creek and back to finish line.  Directions to Bozeman’s House: take Rt. 501 N. heading toward Eagle Eryie; take first right past Boonsboro Country Club onto Winding Creek Rd. (Rt. 647) and turn right onto Meriwether Circle (4th Street on right) and look for parking signs.  Any questions, call 434 384-7609 or email <ironcouple.sdb@juno.com >

Note: Volunteers are needed for various duties, so you can be part of this fun event to help out. Contact me to volunteer.
