GROUP SWIM, BIKE, RUN OPPORTUNITY!

 

Mainiac Tri course this Saturday, Sept. 5th at 7 AM. 

 

We hope to be in the water by 7:15, Biking around 7:45 and the 5k at 9:00.

 

This is a great opportunity to practice an open-water swim, after that we will do a group no-drop ride the bike route (13 – 17 mph) (some are opting to ride the loop twice), others will run the 5k, after the first loop ride.

 

Location:

Gil Boucher Park / Biddeford Pool

1 Beach house Lane
Biddeford, ME 04005

 

Parking:

Parking in the lot is limited to season pass holders.  You can park on Yates street for free.  There are about 6 spots on Yates which is about 0.25 mile from the beach.    You can also park at the library just past Gilford Place on the left.

 

Inclement weather:  It’s going to be a beautiful morning!!

 

Interested?

If you would like to participate please respond on Google groups and let us know so that we have a roster of who to expect. 

 

Please also indicate in your response if you are planning on swimming, biking, running, or all three, or if you are interested in a double bike loop. 

 

Lastly, if you commit to participating but then something comes up and you cannot attend after all please call or text Karen Souliere at 229-9744 so that the group knows not to wait for you.

Thanks Brian, I forgot to update the parking situation.  Parking at the library (Yates Street) is limited to three spots and are only for 2 hours at a time.  However, people can also park on 7th street where there is plenty of free parking and beach access at the end of Bay Street.

For those not swimming and are only there for the bike ride, we can meet at the corner of 7th street and Bay street before we head out. map here

I'm still in for everything but I did a lot training and commuting on the bike this week so I may take it easy and just do one loop.   We'll see :)
