Volunteer Opportunity:
The club has not identified any current volunteer opportunities. We will update you as those opportunities present themselves.
Training:
Eric Ayars Winter/Spring 2025 Training Program:
Our own Eric Ayars, has started a training group/program that will be facilitated through the “CTC Training” page on Facebook.
The current Target Race is the Folsom Lake International Triathlon on May 10, 2025. The secondary target race is the Black Butte Triathlon on June 14th, 2025. The third target race is the Granite Bay Triathlon on August 23, 2025. The training group is open to all CTC members, and workouts will be targeted at international distances. Regardless of the race you are training for, plugging into this group will be helpful for your training in 2025.
I highly recommend you check out the CTC Training group for details.
Swims:
The Friday Morning One Mile open water swims have stopped for the winter. If you are looking to swim, we recommend swimming at the InMotion Pool. You can often catch other triathletes swimming with the Chico Aquajets Masters Program at the InMotion Pool.
Rides:
The Friday Rides are Canceled for now
Wednesday Night Rides: The 50’s have started and are rolling at 5:30pm on Wednesday nights. These rides leave from Rosedale Elementary and they are a Chico cycling staple. Please check the Chico Area Group Rides Facebook page for more details.
There are scattered weekend rides, but the most consistent riding opportunities can be found on the Chico Area Group Rides Facebook page.
Runs:
Saturday Morning Runs: The Saturday morning runs meet at Five Mile Recreation Area near the bathrooms. There’s an 8:00 AM “dog” run and a slower-paced run that leaves at 9:00 AM. Check the CTC Facebook page for updates and starting times.
Tuesday Night Run: The Tuesday night run meets at the Sycamore Pool next to the bathrooms at 5:30 PM.
Check the CTC Facebook page for updates and starting times.
May the waters be clear, the wind be at your back, and keep the rubber side down.
