Eastgate Cycling Club

Back in October I wrote about a gift we gave to Scott "Scottie" Sensenbrenner, the leader of the club I ride with on Saturdays. I mentioned that although Scottie has been leading this informal group for 20 years the group had never chosen a name or been able to decide on team jerseys.

Scottie took the bull by the horns this Spring and picked a name and came up with a jersey and shorts design. The Eastgate Cycling Club sprang into existence! About 32 people ordered clothing out of the 65 or so who are on the club mailing list.

It's great to be able to identify club members while out on the road. Although I got used to identifying individuals by their regular clothing - now I have to actually remember faces or bikes (I'm horrible at recognizing people).

Someday we'll have a club web site, too. Then we'll really be official.

Looks like we have a pretty good (and fast!) contingent for Seattle-to-Portland on July 12. I'm going to be hanging on for dear life for 200 miles.
