SVR 11-3-07

Riders,
Here's an invitation to ride... this Saturday, Team Canada will lead the ride from New Springs. The start time is 8:30AM sharpe. The distance will remain the same of about 43 miles +/-. Last weekend, we had 2 new riders from Greenville. It was a great time riding with new folks. It will be rather cool at the start, so come prepared to stay warm until the sun rises and gives off a little heat. Due to an educational opportunity and a family obligation, I will not attend the SVR. So, someone need to post a ride report so I can enjoy the efforts of others... I'll take details of how many riders.. how cold, any break-aways, and a pedal-stroke-by-pedal-stroke detail of the one and only sprint zone at Mac's...

We'll miss a few SVR regulars and "the name sake".. because they are either volunteering or participating in the "Pump & Run" event in Abbeville. I think there's time to sign up... Give Matt Helton of Axioma Fitness a call (366-2950). The event was apparently conceived by uberGuvna Arnold Schwarzenegger. Contestants bench press their own body weight (or a percent thereof based on age/sex). For each rep completed, they get to deduct 30 seconds from their time in a 5k run that follows. The fastest time (after deductions) wins. Matt's also having a nice health fair afterwards with food and live entertainment. It all takes place at his gym (Axioma Fitness) on the 28 bypass around Abbeville this Saturday. The pump and run is at 7:30 am and the health fair starts at 10. For more info, call the gym at 366-2950.
So, whatever you're doing.. ENJOY IT... this is the only Nov 3, 2007 you'll ever have.

See ya next weekend.

PS.... I just couldn't resist... being a roadie at heart, I read Bicycling... there was an article of a timed ride... and it had donut stops.... the more donuts the rider ate, the more time deducted from his overall time... I'm not promoting this.. just find it an interesting twist to the Pump & Run...
