The one year anniversary of the Tuesday sprint series!!!
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
Hey Jeff I change the host from you to me. I got you back, have fun at home with the Family.
Hi... I know you guys fly on this ride... I do not expect to be in the paceline... I'll just try to chase you for speed training.
Susan you can ride with me, I get dropped with in the first 6 miles, then I do my 17 - 19 mph pace. I love this ride brcause it have made me stronger and built up my speed. If you are looking for speed training this is the ride to be at.
thank you Jeffery B and Rex for riding with me... I got a great sprint in for a while with Rex on the way back
You're very welcome, Susan. Actually, you and Jeffery B got to the end just moments after we got there so great job on speeding even after a long break off the bike.
as an FYI, due to a family emergency I will not be able to attend this ride. I would rather not cancel. This ride doesn't really need to be led but a point of contact is nice for first timers and to make sure everyone gets back OK. Does anyone want to fill in as ride leader?
