Jan 22 Ride Details

Riders,

Okay, first things first.. I'm not sure who in our group has a sporty bike and sporty car... but that combination is the BOMB... One thing for sure, this pic was taken in ideal weather conditions... and for January, that's a wish on everyone's list...

It’s time to board the Crazy Train to get some outdoor Saturday morning bike miles. That’s because I can’t get no satisfaction from the indoor spin bike… it might be turning the cranks, but there’s nothing else that is remotely similar to OUTSIDE RIDING!!! Why is it that for spin bike workouts we talk about minutes… and for outdoor rides, we talk about riding for hours or miles??? And outside miles are always better than indoor spin bike time…

For our ride, the weather gurus are calling for dry conditions… I’ll take that any day over ICE… All we have to do is bundle up, or layer up and if it gets warm, all we have to do is peel off… one layer at a time…

So, in celebration of NO snow & ice, join us in the parking lot of New Spring to get your “ride-on” at 0901… the past few weekends of “no riding” has become the “great equalizer”… we’re all in the same boat… I know there’s a small group of you training for runs… long runs… but shouldn’t you enjoy some cross training??? And Saturday morning rides are all about training, right??

The route remains the same... 44 +/- miles... and since some of us haven't been training...we won't talk about time for this ride... it'll be a get'r dun ride for sure...

If you find yourself in sunny Florida… keep riding… If you find yourself racing… race hard… if you find yourself at Dunkin’ Donuts… order a double!!! If you find yourself coaching youth basketball.. have them run extra wind-sprints… those are good for everyone!!!

Otherwise, we’ll see you on the road.
