Ride for 9-13-08

Let’s saddle up and ride. This weekend, we’ll get back to the mission of logging some miles… a few riders will desire more than others… as Wheel-less needs more miles than most of us… if so inclined.. join him as he rolls out BEFORE sunrise… yes.. Whaley’s departure time is scheduled for 0700… and according to my sources… sunrise is about 7:13AM..(that’s +/- 1 minute margin of error)… But, please note… from 7am to 8am, Wheel-less will be all business…

For me, I’ll use the 0700 hour for my coffee and bagel… BUT, I will join the “the early crew” for their 3rd time to Mac’s later in the ride…. maybe we’ll get to see Whaley follow the nutrition exploits of the General and the Promoter as he downs a cheeseburger and Mt Dew??? No way they’ll serve that in the B2B race??

So, join me for the “rolling of the wheels” at 0800 sharp from the parking lot of New Springs… our loop will include Simms Mill… that’ll give us total of about 47 miles (+/-).

Now, there are reports out there of some stealth training going on… someone is out running down Hwy 81 at 9:45PM… and another someone is running intervals on the treadmill at the Y (and I thought you had bad knees!!!) There’s no need to train alone…. Come out for the ride that will certainly entertain and train at the same time…

So, if you’re back from vacationing in Brazil, or if you’re done “tri-ing”, or finished organized rides, or just need to spin the cranks… GET A BIKE and join us…

But, if you find yourself vacationing in Switzerland… we’ll give you a pass…

PS.. here’s something worth repeating.. have you given support to Chasse yet? I think it would give her a nice boost when she’s riding THIRD shift… she can think of all the support from our local riding community… united in a great cause!!!

Here is her message…

I'm off on another daring adventure to fight cancer, since October will celebrate my 6th year as a cancer survivor! I've signed up with a group to ride our bikes from Greenville, SC to Austin, Texas in 5 days!!! We are divided into teams of 6 riders and will each take 6 hour shifts around the clock until we reach our destination, leaving Greenville on October 19th. Once in Austin, we will join in the LiveStrong celebration. Being on this team means I am committed to raise $5,000 which will go to the LAF, and my share to Cancer Association of Anderson. Help me!

Please consider joining me in honoring cancer fighters in your life by supporting the good work of the Lance Armstrong Foundation (LAF) and Cancer Association of Anderson (CAA)
