Oct 10 Ride

Riders,

Friends, Romans, Country men, lend me your ears…. Or should I say GEARs.. as in gears on a tri bike or road bike… now that everyone is “punch-drunk” for training or lack of training… let’s get together for a ride… We certainly hope everyone enjoyed the RfR last weekend… now, it’s time to reclaim our roads for the SVR…

Speaking of punch drunk, it might just be because I've missed the last 2 TNRs!!! and I'm going through withdrawal from my weekly dose of miles... and I'm still in need of a fix!!! Lately, I've been irritable to a since that some remarked I could be dangerous to small animals!!! But, not in the Peta Vick way.

For a few riders.. this Saturday will be a Celebration Century… which is the last required 100+ miler in the training program… for a grand total of 4 rides of 100+ miles.. (note: included in the + are the tenths which are recorded via the cycling computer… EVERYTHING counts!!!)
These few riders may have to start the ride a few minutes early.. just as day breaks on the horizon... but, I'm sure the peleton will "sniff" us out and run us down like they always do!!!

The mass group start is at 0800 from the parking lot of New Spring… the usual and customary route is 44 +/- miles at 17+ mph…. if you’re new to the group.. give a shout… cuz this “late in the game”… most of us are on automatic pilot!!!

Of note, sometime in last November or early December... I'll scale way back... and only ride to Mac's.. for a few weeks.... and my theme song will be... here comes the sweeper.... LOL..
