AS MANY BIKES AS YOU CAN GET, I WILL CROSS THEM OVER !!!! Yesterday was the big race and La Bocana won in 6 out of 15 categories. Four of the kids
won FIRST place (Nacho and brother Andres included !!). It was such a great day - Jose, how about helmets ????? can you score any at all ??? We had
little ones with BIG helmets since the rule is they cant race without one...poor things...but they won anyways. I have LOTS of pics on facebook if
anyone is interested. Muchas gracias

I stand corrected - FIVE KIDS WON FIRST PLACE and one won third place. Not too shabby, if I do say so myself ... now .... I am heading over to Punta
Abreojos next week to try and get those kids set up as well ... which means more bikes and more helmets and more bike gloves ...
Folks, it takes me weeks and weeks of selling used stuff here in town (I pay locals to sell) and getting goods across the border and dealing with a
wonderful husband who puts up with all the excess baggage and I could really, really use some more help here ! Anything you can donate, just put
BLANCA PORTELLA - LA BOCANA, BCS and drop it off al EL CRUCERO restaurant=right at the turn off to Punta Abreojos .... I talked recently to Chelly,
the owner and she will hang onto anything left off til we can get it back here. There are 6 bikes with BajaCat in National City and they need to get
here before our next race .... the kids want to train....ayudenme or heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp please

We have some bike and surf stuff, but it will be going to the teams in our town of Bahia Asuncion. We are always looking for others from our town to
help out. 
Good Luck and keep plugging away. Hope to see you soon.

the bikes can be left in ENSENADA at 234 Abasolo (main office) or 229 Abasolo (warehouse) for PROGRESO - our local fishing cooperative. Ask for Moni
or Eduardo in the office or IVAN at the warehouse .... and let them know the bikes are for LA BOCANA CLUB DE CICLISMO.
We have a challenging race this Sunday in Vizcaino and could really use those bikes

Hello All, thought I would give you an update ... the club is now up to 14 members
Of the 10 that went with us to Vizcaino this past Sunday- 6 placed either first,second or third !!
We are having so much fun that we are thinking of having an extra race - here in town - the same dates as the fishing tournament .... so that is
scheduled for the END of October ... ANYONE who loves fishing and wants to see the kids in the flesh, please consider yourself invited.
Our next race in in Bahia Asuncion on the 23rd of May !!!
SHARI !!!! HERE WE COME !!! WE SHALL ARRIVE ON THE 22 AND I NEED TO MAKE RESERVATIONS WITH YOU !!!!! Finally we shall meet
THANKS TO ALL OF YOU, THIS CLUB IS NOW ROCKING !!! I had many parents come to a meeting today and they are all willing to help
We still need good racing mountain bikes and in a couple months we hope to have enough cash to pay for a good one for each kid. So, if you have GREAT mtn bike at a good price, lemme know and give
me a month or two to raise funds ...

Meantime, I would like to suggest that some of the ex-pats who own property here in Bahia Asuncion help out the Bike Club here in Bahia Asuncion, the
Lobos Marinos. They also need support. Bikes need parts, repair, tubes, tires, on and on.
One one time visitor to Bahia Asuncion has helped a lot as well as a few who have never been here----but it is an ongoing need.
Meantime, good job Blanca and good luck with continued support.
Don't know if we will be here during the race, but if we are, I hope to meet you.
Diana

Shari !! I will be contacting you closer to the race and you are the BOMB (the best) as my kids wd say .. very, very kind of you. Most of the
families have relatives there, probably 99%. I believe the need will be for Les and I, but I'll confrim that later on in May - and YES on the BBQ !!
We can have everyone donate something to it and make it a huge convivio (this is the Brazilian party girl in me coming out !!)
Diana, sure hope you are there and if I get the bikes brought down from Ensenada in time, I will give you one of them, for your team They are mostly young girls' bikes, not mtn bikes, but they are great and very pretty
BajaCat - you may be getting a call from Ernesto (a friend) who has committed to getting the bikes to Ensenada !! Yahoo !!

Thanks Blanca, but that is not necessary. As I have before, I was just trying to generate some support from the local ex-pats in Bahia Asuncion for
the local team.
It really is a great activity for the kids, but it is an expensive one and all parts, etc.,are so expensive if purchased down here---that is if one
can even find the parts!
