It's tough to maintain fitness in the winter.  Days are short.  The weather is cold and often wet.  Rowing on the erg is b...o...r...i...n...g.  Motivation  is always a challenge.  

Well, we now have an answer for the last excuse.  Erin Simon has organized a group winter training program to help keep up fitness levels and interest.  The program includes circuit training, running and erging (usually not all on the same day).  Sessions are being held twice a week:  Wednesday evenings at 6:00 pm for circuit training and running at various locations and Saturday mornings at 8:00 am at the Downtown Boathouse for running and/or erging.

If you need a little motivation this winter, plan to join the group.  Just come to the Downtown Boathouse at 8:00 am on Saturdays (we're meeting there tomorrow morning) or contact Erin Simon ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

No excuses!

The VBC Annual Meeting will be held on January 22 from 6:30 - 8:30 in the meeting room of the Gayton Library in Henrico County.  The agenda will include a "state of the club" report, plans for 2009,  presentation and approval of the budget, election of officers (more on this later), and a video or two.

The Gayton Library is located at 10600 Gayton Rd. in the West End.  Click here is a link to an on-line map.  

After the official business meeting, we plan to reconvene at the Rare Olde Times Pub at 10602 Patterson Ave. for continuing camaraderie and libation.

Please plan to attend this important meeting.  We need your active involvement and participation in club activities to make the VBC a vibrant and successful organization.
