Just some of the GW Tri Club offerings include...
Tri Club Tri-Grants:
The grant program is intended to help encourage meeting locations different from those just around the shop, giving club members alternatives to routes closer to their work and homes.

Several clinics are offered throughout the year covering a variety of topics including training, bike maintenance, nutrition and more. All clinics are taught by elite athletes from around the Midwest, certified coaches, and other experts in their field.

Map location is based off of a geocode of the addressed entered using Google's Google Maps API. If your address does not geocode properly, you can either update the address (we will attempt to re-geocode after any updates to your entry) or you can use Google's geocoding tool found here: http://gmaps-samples.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/geocoder/singlegeocode.html to obtain a lat/long for your location and enter that. To use the utility, type in an address that is close to your location and then drag-and-drop the marker to obtain the desired lat/long. If you choose to enter a lat/long, you must check the box on the edit page that says, "override geocode with entered lat/long."
