Welcome Trail Dog! Let's get started! Dues for the new year will be $20 dollars for both new and returning members. This fee covers our nominal expenses and ensure we can stay insured for the year.
We are keeping the club structure the same as last year- casual, fun, focused on community!
1) For all intents and purposes the current club structure will stay the
same. Trail Dog facebook group will be a venue for us to all connect,
share activities, talk triathlon, share photos experiences etc and for posting
events that are happening.
2) Dues
will be 20 dollars a year- this is so we can continue to be a part of USA
Triathlon and continue to have insurance only. USAT is how people new to ABQ
find our triathlon club, and in an effort to build the community, it is really
important for us to keep this in place
3) If
the fee is prohibitive, or you cannot pay it- that is ok. No one will be (or
really has been in the past) excluded from our activities. There will only be
one Trail Dog facebook page from here on out. No more members only page. But –
if you are able, we encourage you to pay the dues as they help our community
keep going.
4) We will do our best to provide a gift do
those paying dues- however from here on out any purchases of swag will require
team members to place an order with us and pay prior to delivery. This will
avoid us over-ordering gear and being left with lots of extras. AND it helps
keep dues down for everyone.
5) We will keep some core
events- burger runs once a month or so, weekly zwift rides, C4C when the
weather allows in spring/summer. We will do our best to host a variety
of events in different locations/times/workout types. They might not be on a
set schedule- the facebook page and the calendar on the website
6) Help us decide on team events for next year!
7)
Finally and most importantly, what we HOPE and WISH will happen is that more
events will be TEAM DRIVEN. We aren’t asking people to take on regular events
that happen on a weekly, monthly whatever basis, but we would LOVE it if every
once in a while you created an event, and posted a workout to the team page
that can be an opportunity for people to connect while doing their training.
