Tuesday, September 27 - VALOR GAMES SOUTHWEST in San Antonio
The Valor Games Southwest is a multi-sport event taking place September 26 -29. The goal is to provide an adaptive sports competition to veterans and service members with a physical disability. San Antonio Sports will be hosting this event for the fourth consecutive year, in partnership with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and Texas Regional Paralympic Sports, a regional Paralympic sport program under United States Olympic Committee.
Mike will once more be wrenching for the cycling event competitors. I have spoken with the organizers and they would just love to have anybody who wants to show up to support these determined athletes.

Saturday, October 8 - WACO WILD WEST 100 RIDE
The word is out and Easy Street is going to introduce our Hospitality Tent to support recumbent society. Refreshments will be provided and we plan to bring a grill. Billed as "the sweetest ride in Texas," according to all reports, this is a very fun ride and we plan to make it MORE fun!
Fun is our vision.
Let me know you will be there, so I can tell you about being a part of Team Easy Street and so we can plan refreshments accordingly ... and, we want to be looking for you. The plan is to stay until the last Easy Street rider is in.

Family Eldercare is hosting this new event to help fund their many useful programs. They have contacted us as a local business that has products and services useful to their clientele and -- we are enthusiastic! We will be there with trikes on exhibit. It sounds like a very well-organized and supported ride AND, I was told there will be a prize for the team with the most members -- let's go after that one!
