Signed, Sealed, Delivered

As promised back in June at the interest meeting, we have acquired two Elliptigo Arc model elliptical bikes for use by the WHS cross country program. They were purchased through the Wayland Boosters using funds raised via the Wayland XC Festival. These bikes will give team members the opportunity to cross train in a way that closely resembles running without the impact and pounding. The hope is that this training option will supplement the running that we do, and in a pinch serve as a substitute for those who are unable to run consistently without aggravating certain types of injuries. Here they are, outside the softball shed where they'll be stored for the season:

Team members will be able to ride the elliptigo upon completion of a brief orientation and riding test. The idea is that each bike will be ridden by multiple people each day in shifts. Also stay tuned for more information on a naming contest for these bikes which will take place during the first week of practice.
