This bi-weekly ride will be a fast paced ride designed to build endurance, speed, and practice pacelines. We'll meet at 4:45 and leave at 5pm or before if all the Yes RSVPs are present. Please update your RSVP if you cannot make the event. We'll ride .25 miles to the entrance of the South Canal and head west. There are 2 road crossings where we need to exercise caution, Sunrise and Whiterock. Once the coast is clear we'll continue on the trail down to Jackson Hwy. We'll take a short break, then head back to the Hatchery. We should be back to the hatchery by no later than 6:30.
Do not be discouraged if you get dropped on this ride. The break does not start until the last rider arrives at the break point. The idea is to push yourself but please exercise caution, we don't need anyone having any issues because they pushed themselves too hard. PLEASE KNOW YOUR LIMITS!
Here is a link that give some good pointers on dos and don't while in a paceline.Paceline etiquette
A light rain will not cancel but a heavy rain will. I will cancel by no later than 2pm if it becomes an issue.
Please bring plenty of water and as always your helmet is required.
If you have any questions please let me know
Woah! Great group of riders. I got dropped pretty quick! New goal for 2010!
