May 12- For Those Who Know What It's About

If you're a Y regular who rides with us:

You need to register ASAP. We do have a limited number of spots available and the Workshop will be advertised in another week and a half or so.

Here's the issue: Registration is online only.

If you are in the Y's system (i.e. on our normal Saturday riding roster), you probably will experience difficulties. You need an email address with your name in the Y's computer.

Allison Whelan is the person at the Y who will help you with your account so you can register. Her contact info is on the left hand side of the general registration page here. She's there 9-5 Monday-Friday. Noting "Uni Workshop" will help her help you faster.

This link will take you to registration: Uni Workshop.

If you want in, please don't wait. Registration will be opened up to the general uni public before the end of March.

You don't want to miss this opportunity.
