Agenda-

 

1) Michele Neff Hernandez from The Soaring Spirits Loss Foundation will give a short overview of her foundations October 15th charity ride, “Share the Road ride” which starts in Simi Valley.

 

We will then introduce our next guest speaker, Dr. Rich Cimadoro, D.C.

 

2) Bikefit and Posture on the bike

 

-Importance of a proper bikefit based on your flexibility, experience, injuries.

-Importance of efficient pedaling and how it affects your muscle development and power.

-You know not to slouch at your desk, then why do you slouch on your bike?

-tips on engaging your posture for better endurance and less pain.

 

 

3) Tips on Reversing the Muscle Imbalances Created by Cycling

 

- I ride a bike, therefore I'm in shape. True or false?

- I can ride my bike, garden and pull weeds in my backyard with no back pain? Yes or no?

- I can ride my bike 100 miles, but I can't run around the block, let alone wield a chainsaw. Yes or no?

 

 

The goal is to broaden the perspective of how we use our bodies while on the bike and later when moving in the real world.

Rich will introduce some simple exercises and off the bike exercise options to improve your cycling enjoyment that can be implemented immediately.

 

 

4) Club committee reports

 

 

 

I still have a small quantity of club cycling socks priced at $5 a pair. If you are interested I will have them available at the meeting.

 

Looking forward to seeing everyone there.
