Last Ride in Feb

Riders,
WOW, what a ride last Saturday… huge group, nice weather and plenty of miles to ride. Can we get a repeat this weekend?? Right now, our weather friends are estimating a high of 55 degrees on Saturday… of course, the morning will be rather cold, but we know how to work with that… right?? Take a preventive medication for cold urticaria, dress in layers and generate your own body heat… note, that reference means riding a bike… for 42+ miles with some uphill battles thrown in for good measure… that should generate WATTS and HEAT all at the same time.

The group will gather at the parking lot of New Spring to roll out on or about 9am. So, be ready to ride…

For me, I won’t repeat everything from last Saturday… I was over-dressed and under-trained…. Okay, I’m still under-trained, but I can work on what to wear.

Believe it or not… we had a 2 SVR riders who’d been AWOL… Rocketman and Gray Grannie (or Gray Wolf or Gray Ghost or Mother Goose or whatever Wheel-less wants to call himself)…. So, who’s coming BACK this Saturday????

Ride Report

Riders, the weather was great.... I can sum up my ride in one sentence...
"over dressed and under trained" but with the cold weather of recent times... who would have thought a baselayer, non-breathing jacket, beanie cap, long finger gloves, shorts, tights, toe covers and wool socks would have been TOO MUCH????
OUCH!

as for the undertrained part... let's just say I'm starting O-V-E-R!!!

RIDE

I'm not sure, but someone said this is the refreshment wagon along the course... however, I don't know ANYONE who will take one?? do you??

See ya Saturday, right? time to turn and burn..

No Ride for Saturday

Riders,

It appears that Mother Nature will greet us with some liquid precipitation this weekend. The Saturday morning weather is calling for stuff that will surely cancel an outside ride…. For me, this is STRIKE TWO for weekend training… cuz, if I don’t ride or train on Saturday morning.. there is an excellent chance I won’t do anything for exercise later in the day….

So, not by choice, but by necessity, the SVR won’t happen… of course, you could go to the Y and do the spin/run/swim thing… but, it ain’t as much fun as the SVR… so, I think I'll enjoy the 2nd cup of coffee and playing fetch with the dog... and reading some SlowTwitch... trying to find some motivation to start training!!!! so, what do YOU have planned for this year??? Bridge to Bridge?? Mitchell??? RAAM??? IM Lou??? etc??? we do want to know...

See you when the weather is better…
