Introduction
I've always really enjoyed the peace bike riding gives me. I don't look at it as exercise as much as I do a stress relief and escape. I joined this group because I was interested in something more challenging than the AR bike trail.
Where did you hear about us?
From Michele Cooksy
What rides would you like to see on the calendar?
long distance endurance with hills
What goals are you setting for yourself, if any?
wanting to make 3 double centuries next year to be eligible for triple crown status
What level biker are you?
intermediate
Do you have any success stories you can share with everyone?
When I was younger, I rode from Canada to San Francisco alone averaging 76 miles/day over a 2 wk period. I went to college in Davis so completed that double century in '81 and'82. However, have completed 4 centuries this year.

Roy posted a greeting for Joan O'Connor"RE: the importance of proper hydration, I found this interesting. "FYI....almost all men have a natural crit of 40-45%. Most endurance athletes are lowish...like 40-42%. This is due to hemodilution with plasma. The body produces more plasma as it's senses even slight dehydration for the daily grind of of training.""
