Some info from Averil:

It’s likely someone near to you – family; friend; neighbour or work colleague has been or is affected by Heart Disease.

Support the Heart Foundation to stop Nelsonians dying prematurely from Heart Disease and enable everyone to ‘Fulfil a lifetime’.

migym is showing their support by hosting the 4hr Team Spin Challenge from 4.00 through to 8.00pm on Friday February 15th. You’re invited to form and register a team and join the challenge.

Team registration  is $150 – your team can have as many spinners as you like and no one needs any spin or bicycle experience.  migym will have leaders out front to show you the way.  You don’t need to be a gym member – everyone is welcome (as long as they can reach the pedals!)

Pop into migym (Bridge Street) to collect an information pack or call the Heart Foundation (545 7112)

Happy New Year!

I hope you have had a great Xmas/New Year festive season and are looking forward to a fantastic 2013!!

I know a number of you were talking about using your free Tuesday nights to head out with the NBS Nelson Striders (5.45pm from the carpark opposite the Suter Art Gallery), so just a reminder that the next four weeks they do something a little different and they have their annual Summer Six O'Clock Series up the Maitai Valley.  You are welcome to join them - this week is a 3km, starting from the Golf Course, run or walk back down the Valley to Branford Park. No entry fee, just turn up before 6.00pm.

This Sunday is the NBS Nelson Striders Half Marathon & 10km - if you are keen on a challenge to start the New Year with a bang!  This one is all about guessing your time, with no watches allowed and staggered start times.
More details on http://www.nelsonevents.co.nz/content/nbs-nelson-striders-half-marathon-10km

And entries for the Taylors Nelson Women's Triathlon (Sunday April 7th) are also open - $5 reduced entry fee closes mid Jan, so to take advantage head to http://www.nelsonevents.co.nz/content/taylors-nelson-womens-triathlon

I will be in touch a bit closer to February when we start back.  Just a reminder that our sessions are on Wednesday nights now, and that our first session back is on Wednesday the 13th of February (not 6th as on your programme, (it's Waitangi Day) ).

Also - for those of you working on mastering the 'V' turn on the mountainbike (Dave's group) - the spot where you were practising with Dave, if you walk your bike up a little further along that track, there is a 'nicer' V turn to work on - with that tree absent from view and a less daunting drop off.  (Carl's group were using this one during our last MTB session). I would love to hear how you have been going with it all.  And, once I find out more about the next Skills Clinic from Get Moving I will pass them on to you.
