Not sure about your bike fit? Here's some info for you..

As we all know a properly fitting bike is essential for long-term comfort and efficiency. Bicycle fitting is a subject most people including myself find quite confusing. I've personally been fitted by a multitude of different people over the years and hands down the best bike fit I've had has been from Jim Cunnigham. He uses traditional methods of fitting but also incorporates a computer program that gives basically anything you want to know about your pedal stroke, cadence, wattage, efficiency, your level of fitness, etc. If you have any questions about proper bike fit call Jim @ --(864) 630-3081 or email him @ Jim Cunningham litespeedjim@yahoo.com Expect to spend about $75 and approximately 1 1/2 hours with him.

Caesar's Head Ride in 2 weeks -July 29th-

The date is set for Saturday, July 29th. This is a ride option for the SVR that day. Plan to meet at NewSpring church around 6:20-6:25 so we can leave by car/truck at 6:30 for the 30 minute drive up to Liberty. The bike route should be about 60-65 miles round trip from Liberty to Caesar's Head and back to Liberty according to Ryan. The exact departure location in Liberty will be determined later. Some guys may want to carpool the bikes up there, and a few could ride their bikes back to NewSpring for an extra 20 miles. (I'd be willing to drive a vehicle back from Liberty to NewSpring.)
For questions about the route and it's difficulty, contact Ryan Robinson. He will be our ride leader, and I'm assisting with the coordination and planning. More details will follow, but we wanted to get this out so everyone could put it on their calendars. You've got less than 3 weeks to get your climbing legs together!
