SWICA notes are sent at irregular intervals to about 1000 cycling geeks in the Northwest and Intermountain West but mostly folks from Southwest Idaho and the nearby area. Nothing about the information in here is guaranteed accurate, though I'll try and get things right. If you would like your personal e-mail removed from the SWICA notes distribution list hit reply and ask. SWICA Notes are intended to be used to share information on cycling events (races/clinics/charity rides/area club information of general interest and related items) and not for selling bike gear. Decisions on whether to forward content received are based on the subjective determinations of SWICA's manager and list maintainer and whether I get to it. If you have something you want distributed or any complaints hit reply and have at it.
