Saturday, February 11, 2012 – 9:00 a.m. start – 12:30ish picnic lunch. Workout & fun potluck lunch get together.

9:00 a.m. start at Granite Beach (Folsom Lake State Recreation Area) – Meet At The Swim Beach Parking Lot.

Let’s get together for an awesome day at granite beach for a workout and a potluck picnic lunch get together! The workout is whatever you want. It could be a bike / trail run brick – or just a trail run or whatever you like. Everyone can do their own workout at whatever pace they like and then meet back at the picnic tables to hang out together and have some yummy pot luck lunch.

This is a great opportunity to catch up with STC Tri friends and hang out together.

Potluck lunch – bring something to share. Post what you are bringing so we can coordinate. Let’s plan on bbq-ing too.

Your workout: Post what workout you think you might do so others can join you in the fun if they like.

If you have questions – either post on the discussion board or email Kirsten (who’s coordinating the event) at: Kirsten@LewisFamily.US

Hope to see you there!
