Rochester Active Sports Club

The Trirochester group is holding a spring time trial series. This started last Thursday and there will be 3 more events every Thursday. The TTs will start at East St. Olaf church each week and run the same 14-mile course as last year (see copy of the map on the RASC Bulletin Board).

Start time is 6:30 PM sharp.

Church address so you can get directions from your house:
East St Olaf Church
6200 County Road 3 SW Byron, MN 55920,

Just a few miles south of Salem Corners on CR 3.

Please park in the South part of the parking lot away from the church so any church members or employees can still park next to the church and don't block the circle drive in front of the church

Bill Nevala who is organizing the Rochesterfest Triathlon is looking for volunteers to help with both events. The Rochesterfest Triathlon will be on June 29^th. If you are interested in helping at this event, please contact his volunteer coordinator, Brian Cain or sign-up on line at www.winmultisportevents.com.
