Ride for Saturday
Riders,
Saddle up, it’s time to ride. The group meets in the parking lot of New Spring to roll out at 0800… it used to be “0800 sharp”….. but we’ll have to settle for 8’ish or 0800, whichever gets there first…. The challenge of Saturday will be the first cold ride in a long time… estimated temps at 0800 will be in the low 50s…or colder…so, if you suffer from hypothermic urticaria, TAKE YOUR MEDS and break out that cold weather gear!!!!
Last weekend was the Celebration Century… and at mile 84, the celebration was a chili cheeseburger plate at Mac Smith’s… you know the first re-grouping point about mile 12 of the SVR!!!! We’ve used their parking lot for years… and last Saturday, we used the grill… and it was awesome… so, when all this “training” is done for the year… plan on stopping at Mac’s during the “second trip out” after the first SVR loop… you won’t be disappointed…
If you’re new to the group… give a shout out… and someone is sure to keep an eye on you…. The usual and customary ride is about 44 miles… at an average of 16.5+mph…
If you’re doing the Hickory Knob tri… best of luck… and send us a race report…
If you’ve signed up to IM Louisville, you may want to start training… only 315 days until the big dance…
If you thought you were “one and done” with tri… you may want to plan your return to the SVR… funny how the tri-bug bites!!!
If you EVER considered triathlon, the next season is closer than you think…
FWIW, our good friend Scott Shuey’s bike will be making the trip in the Challenge to Conquer Cancer relay… the team is carrying his bike in honor of Scott’s battle with cancer. Here’s the link…

NOTE: due to the ever changing circumstances which I’m part of… I will NOT be riding on Saturday… ride strong and ride safe…. I will return….
So, just sign me….
