SVR for 11-15-08

Riders,
The question of the day is… will the weather hold to allow us to ride? It’s just a question and IF mother nature does NOT send us rain, the SVR will ride again on Saturday. Our group will meet at New Spring parking lot to roll out at 9AM. Just speaking for me, I’m transitioning into “just riding-to be riding”… trying to maintain a base of miles… trying to keep my legs.. but, that’s so hard when I’m only riding (outside) one day a week!!!! Of note, I’ll only be spinning this Saturday… I have a commitment on Sunday that requires that I do NOT trash my legs… there may be others out there who’ll participate in some speed work…. Perhaps as they ride General Lee down Five Forks!!!

Speaking of General Lee… in case you haven’t heard.. Mr. NameSake is back… Vance made his debut last Saturday… he’s the one who started this SVR.. (Saturday Vance Ride) back in the day of IM training… actually, I think originals also included Vortex and Mr. France… Vance took a year off and has come back with a vengeance… When will Vortex return???

Of note, congrats to Nancy and Lori who went ALL THE WAY to Miami to compete in the Miami Man Half Iron Triathlon… as I understand it, they crossed state lines with contraband… hmm, just how innocent are they???

Here’s a link to some cycling pics… some of which are our local heroes who rode in the 2008 Safe Harbor Ride… Thanks to Beastie Bob for the link… Here’s his message for anyone that rode in the Safe Harbor II (Iva) ride this summer. There is a photo gallery available through the website http://www.safeharborsc.org/programs.htm , 505 pictures). Several members of the SVR family are prominently displayed including Mr. Chambers, the Stories, Steve Pugh and family, Ryan, Eva, et al.

It’s a lot of pics, but they’re fun to look at….

the Clemson Tigers play at home… with a 12noon kickoff.. but, that has NOT had an impact on our ride!!!

Don't they look like they're having fun?? that's because they trained all winter... logging base miles so they coud enjoy a full metric???

See ya Saturday, for sure, eh?
