Shelley Glover Century Ride

Dear Friends of Shelley,

I want to personally invite you to attend our first annual Century Bike Ride and Ski Coaches Summit. This is a great social and educational event for cycling enthusiasts, athletes, parents, coaches and anyone wanting to
increase their mental training!.  

All club, high school, college, and USSA ski coaches are encouraged to attend with special sessions and topics specifically geared towards the latest coaching techniques direct from the US Ski Team!

Friday 9/25-Sunday 9/27, 2009 at the Glacier Canyon Lodge in the Wisconsin Dells. (Mention "Shelley Glover" for special rates.)
Century Ride Route

This ride is open to anyone who would like to spend a day with some of the most fun people around. The ride supports ski racing safety through education and leadership development.

The Full and Half Half-Century rides will begin at 7:30 am on Saturday 9/26/2009. The Full Century Ride is very challenging, very scenic and the Half Half-Century incorporates a more leisurely ride through Devil's Lake State Park, past the Circus World Museum, The Aldo Leopold Center, and The Mid Continental Railway Museum during the most colorful time of year.

I hope to see you there.
