05/06/07 Raven Rock Ramble

[TracyW]

I posted the RRR on the calendar for May. I looked for the Tarwheels ride that is about the same time but could not find it. Can someone post that?

[Zonda]

Thanks Tracy. Registration is limited to 400 riders, 50 more than last year. Make sure you sign up before it's full. It filled up by early April last year. Here is a list of riders if you want to monitor it so you don't miss the opportunity, http://ravenrockramble.org/riders.htm

[KarenG]

i just signed up for RRR.

there's a tarwheel century (http://www.rivercitycyclingclub.com/tarwheel_century.htm)on April 28 in elizabeth city.

Jay and I are planning on riding in this one. I will probably do the 100k ride at RRR.

That looks like it would be fun. Will probably sign up for that.

Signed up for the RRR earlier. I'm heading for the Metric right now. I wonder if you can change later (haven't looked).

EDIT: Added event to calendar

Yes, you can change your mind the day of the ride.

[ScottCh]

Another option, a bit earlier in April:
Cycle North Carolina Spring Ride goes back to the Coast! Edenton hosted the inaugural CNC Spring Ride and has been selected to the host the 2007 event April 13-15, 2007. Historic Edenton will welcome cyclists from all over the United States for a weekend of cycling, waterfront entertainment and great food. Edenton has been a favorite of Cycle North Carolina and we are excited to revisit the “South’s Prettiest Small Town

NCDOT has a great place to find out about the larger regional rides here: http://www.ncdot.org/transit/bicycle/events/calendar/january7.html.

[JayC]

I guess I need to get signed up for RRR. Ill try to remember to do that this week.

[TracyW]

I mailed my registration yesterday and have already received notification from David Cole. He sure is on top of things.

[williamtash]

I am sighned up to and I am mailing in the registration in on the fifteenth. Hope it is warmmer than last year and no rain

[TracyW]

I am sighned up to and I am mailing in the registration in on the fifteenth. Hope it is warmmer than last year and no rainWhat distance are you planning?

[Zonda]

Just a reminder that the Raven Rock Ramble (http://ravenrockramble.org/index.html) will fill up early April. They have 264 riders (http://ravenrockramble.org/riders.htm) registered so far. If you registered, but didn't pay yet, you need to pay as soon as possible to guarantee your slot. This is the best ride in our area, lots of food, well supported SAG stops, great T-shrit. You will miss out if you don’t register early.

NOTE:

David added new intersection graphics (http://ravenrockramble.org/cs07rr62.pdf) to the cue sheets. He also needs someone who uses GPS to check the GPX files (http://ravenrockramble.org/routes.htm). If anyone has time, please do so and let me know and I can give you David’s email address to send comments. Thanks

Can anyone help with this?

[JayC]

Ill do it even tho I probably shouldnt. Have him email me.

Im signed up and paid finally so Ill be doing RRR

[Zonda]

41 slots left and this event will be full. Also, you aren't completely registered until you pay.

Please sign up NOW if you plan to ride. I'm hoping to have a large Slow Spokes presence and it be the first big event where we all wear our new jerseys.

List of Riders (http://ravenrockramble.org/riders.htm)

[CharleyM3]

Okay, I signed up. I'll pay on Monday.

[williamtash]

I am signed up also for the ride not sure which ride I am doing in it yet

[Zonda]

41 slots left and this event will be full. Also, you aren't completely registered until you pay.

Please sign up NOW if you plan to ride. List of Riders (http://ravenrockramble.org/riders.htm)

Looks like 397 riders out of 400 slots right now. If some don't pay, that may open additional slots later.

Brian and I are registered and it looks like we are opting for NASCAR in Richmond Saturday night instead. We won't be back until Sunday afternoon so I don't know if I can transfer our spots to someone else interested or not.

[CharleyM3]

Wow, I'm number 392. Just made it.

[Zonda]

I asked David Cole and he said you could transfer your registration to someone else. They would pick up ride packets in your name. The tax receipt is sent to you though. Maybe someone could pay you, you give them the tax receipt and they can use their check as proof of payment. Just a suggestion.

Registration is up to 416 now. David will cut it off at 430.

I'm not worried about getting the money back - it's for a good cause. I just hate taking up spots that I know we won't be using if someone else would like to ride.

[Zonda]

Then you could give your slots to someone. If you don't know anyone, I'm sure someone in our group will want them and would be willing to pay. This is the best ride in our area all year.

I will e-mail my Tour de Cure team and see if there are any takers, if not I'll let you know, probably in the next week or so, then they are up for grabs.

I just wish the Ramble was sooner than May; we need the rain the Ramble guarantees.

[KarenG]

I just wish the Ramble was sooner than May; we need the rain the Ramble guarantees.

haha. yes we need the rain to get rid of all this damn pollen, but i'm not gonna ride in the rain. it's rained the past 2yrs for this ride. i didn't ride last year either bc of the rain.

[MikeD]

I just made it in under the wire but I am registered!

[williamtash]

OK now I have seen all the faster riders talking and signed up for the RRR do we have any of the slow spokes slower riders like the 10/12 group signed up lets here from you I know I am

[CharleyM3]

Do they have a "sun" date incase there's no rain on the scheduled day of the ride?

[williamtash]

That is a big NO it goes on rain or shineLast year it not only rained but temp dropped and man was it bad out there. I was at a sag I say hard core riders hang it up and get a lift back. I will not ride in cold and rain or rain I am hoping this year no rain/cold

[Zonda]

Registration is now closed.

[esther-l]

Sandy, I signed up. I'll ride with you, if you wait for me at the tops of hills.
and if it's not raining a monsoon!
Esther

[williamtash]

Ester you know I usually ride behind you when we ride I will wait on every hill because you know me and hills I still hate them Thats great someone to ride with and you are right is there is no monsoon I will ride but is rain no way

[MikeD]

I'm really looking forward to this ride. It will be my first metric century. I want to be sure that I don't bonk during the ride so I need to be sure to load up on some carbs starting the day before and that morning. Does anyone recommend a particular food that works for them?

Hammer Nutrition has an interesting take on pre-event fueling. They advise only eating a meal three hours prior. If you can't eat at least three hours before, then they recommend no meal and just a snack (like a gel) 10 minutes before you get on the bike.

http://www.hammernutrition.com/za/HNT?PAGE=ARTICLE&ARTICLE.ID=2981

Preface by Steve Born: One of the more controversial articles in The Endurance Athlete’s Guide to Success is "The Pre-Race Meal" where, among other things, we suggest that athletes not consume food any sooner than three hours prior to the start of workout sessions or races. The information provided in the article seems to generate the most resistance and skepticism from athletes, probably because it’s a concept that they’ve never heard of before. However, both Dr. Bill and I can say that we’ve yet to have one athlete tell us that the principles outlined in the article didn’t work.

http://www.hammernutrition.com/za/HNT?PAGE=ARTICLE&ARTICLE.ID=2227&OMI=10126,10071&AMI=10126&RETURN_URL=%2Fza%2FHNT%3FPAGE%3DTRAININGTIPS%26OMI %3D10126%2C10071%26AMI%3D10126&RETURN_TEXT=Performance%20Tips

13. Don't over-consume food the night before the race in the hopes of "carbo loading."

It would be nice if you could maximize muscle glycogen stores the night before the race, but human physiology doesn't work that way. Increasing and maximizing muscle glycogen stores takes many weeks of consistent training and post-workout fuel replenishment. Excess consumed carbohydrates are only going to be eliminated or stored as body fats (dead weight), so don't go overboard during those pre-race pasta feeds. Eat until you're satisfied, but not more.

13. Finish a pre-race meal three hours prior to the start of the race.

Let's assume you've been really good - you've been training hard (yet wisely) and remembering to replenish your body with adequate amounts of high quality calories as soon as possible after each and every one of your workouts. Great! You've now built up a nice 60-90 minute reservoir of premium muscle glycogen, the first fuel your body will use when the race begins. Don't blow it now by eating something an hour or two prior to the start of the race!

Do you know what happens when you eat within three hours of exercise? Your muscle glycogen stores get burned much more rapidly . . . definitely not performance-enhancing! If you're going to have a pre-race meal, you need to finish it three hours prior to the start of the race. That's the best way to top off liver glycogen stores (the goal of the pre-race meal) without screwing up how your body burns its muscle glycogen.

[Zonda]

Does anyone recommend a particular food that works for them?

I drink 64 oz of water the day before a 50 mile ride and usually have a meal like a salad, baked potoato and a steak. That works for me. Drinking water the day before seems to make a difference.

On the day of a long ride I use endurolyte (http://www.e-caps.com/za/ECP?PAGE=PRODUCT&CAT=ELECT&PROD.ID=4037&OMI=10104,10082,10047&AMI=10104) capsules every hour, one Cliff shot or PB & J sandwich, one pak of Cliff bloks, a bottle of Cytomax and one or two bottles of water. Before using endurolytes, I was very tired after riding 30 miles. Now I can ride longer without feeling like I need a nap afterwards.

[TracyW]

There going to have food at the SAG stops right?

[Zonda]

There going to have food at the SAG stops right?

At the registration area they have bagels, cream cheese, bananas and Starbuck's coffee. Starbuck's is a new sponsor this year.

Lots of food at SAG stops, Panera bagels, cream cheese, PB&J sandwiches, oatmeal cakes, bananas, water, gatorade, sodas, home baked goods (cookies, fudge, trail mix bars).

After the ride they will deliver Schlotzkey's deli sandwiches, Rudino's Pizza and have all the left over bagels, baked goods, etc. They usually run out of sandwiches and pizza if you get back too late.

What I eat/drink the day before the ride seems to affect my riding more than what I eat the day of. I was passing on what works for me.

[TracyW]

I want to be sure that I don't bonk during the ride.... Lots of food at SAG stops, Panera bagels, cream cheese, PB&J sandwiches, oatmeal cakes, bananas, water, gatorade, sodas, home baked goods (cookies, fudge, trail mix bars).Then my suggestion would be not to change too much from the normal and just intake food at the SAG stops.

[KarenG]

Then my suggestion would be not to change too much from the normal and just intake food at the SAG stops.

i don't know about anyone else, but i find that if i change from what i normally do during longer rides, like eat real food, that really gives me problems. i tend to get by on HEED, Endurolytes, and CarbBoom gels. occassionally, i'll eat a snickers bar if i feel really low on energy or maybe part of a pb&j that i've brought with me. haven't had the longer rides yet where i do a snickers ('cept for the ride at bjp) or pb&j yet.

the rides that jay and i've done from his house for 50mi is done on the above (H, E, & C). this is just what works for me - this close to the event, i wouldn't consider changing up anything as far as what you've been drinking/eating. you also don't want to eat too much at the sag stops because you don't want to get "filled" up on the food and not feel like you can take any hydration in.

you'll do fine!

K

[CharleyM3]

Then my suggestion would be not to change too much from the normal and just intake food at the SAG stops.

Be very careful how much you intake at the sags. I over intook at the Frostbite Tour and had a nasty lump in my stomache during the last leg of the ride. I do best if I take in a little gatorade every 20 minutes, water as needed for hydration and small amounts of energy food every hour or so after 90 minutes. I have pretty good reserves on board at the start.

But that's just what works for me.

[JayC]

Hydration is for wussy

[TracyW]

I guess the point is that there will be food available, unlike normal, so changing routine is not necessary. Knowing that there is more than one SAG stop makes it easier to nibble.

[Gerard]

LOL!!!!!

"Hydration is for wussey"

I think that is another T-shirt Jay!

[TracyW]

Not knowing the area at all, is there a certain area we should be looking for each other?

[JayC]

As Zonda put it, everything is for wussy now.

[CharleyM3]

Okay. I'm a wuss.:o

[MikeD]

This is all good advice. I think I'll change my pre-ride diet only very slightly. I might have a larger breakfast early in the morning but I won't get crazy. I think the most important thing for me to do is pace myself and not go too hard too fast. Oh yeah... and think positive. Negativity is for wussy!

[Zonda]

Not knowing the area at all, is there a certain area we should be looking for each other?

I want to take a photo of the group. If you want to be in the photo, meet by the registration area at 8:00 a.m.

David's current plan is to have a procession from the paved parking area to the road in front of the grassy parking lot for the ride start. With 400 riders, it will be hectic. We need to be ready to line up in our groups for the ride start by 8:15 a.m.

[Perry]

Hi Zonda and all,

I signed up for the 60, but will probably do the 40+ instead. Not enough training for me lately. But who knows? If the weather is good, my 'wussy' hydration is on target, I may stick out the 60.

[williamtash]

Ester I still don't know If I can ride sunday I have had a bad cold and my white count sored and red went down hill and the Doctor said he would let me know on friday if he will give me the ok for the ride It figures this time maybe no monsoon and I may not get to ride that really stinks

[Zonda]

Sorry to hear you aren't feeling well. I just got in from shopping at BJ's with David for supplies for the RRR. He said there is now a chance of rain for Sunday...:eek: Please, say it isn't so!

[JayC]

Weather.Com shows a 10% chance but that could change at any moment.

[FenderFreek]

This sounds like it's gonna be a sweet ride for you guys. I wish I'd known about it in time to sign up, but there's always next year. Best of luck!

[williamtash]

I still have my finger crossed for the Dr but since I still have a bad cough and I still have a voice that cracks I don't think I am going to be able to fake feeeling great to him this time and so most likely the rain won't happen because I can't ride I may just come out just to see those shirts is he says no to the ride

[williamtash]

I just looked at weather they are saying no rain but gusty up to 20 mps winds

[KarenG]

Weather.Com shows a 10% chance but that could change at any moment.

yep...it's now 60% (http://www.weather.com/outlook/recreation/outdoors/tenday/27520?from=36hr_topnav_outdoors) :(

[esther-l]

Sandy -

I'm sorry to hear you aren't feeling well. It does sound like your doctor may not want you to ride.

I'll have to look at the more detailed weather forecast sometime on Saturday. RRR certainly does seem to draw rain like a magnet.....

If it's not too rainy and it's going to be windy, I may tell Scott that we are changing plans and riding the tandem!
Esther

[williamtash]

Zonda just e mailed me and her weather says rain for sunday morning I think it is david that brings the rain. I think it decides to rain as soon as he put the e mail out about the RRR. Zonda and I have figures out how not to wast the spot if I don't get the ok for the ride later today. It will go to another slow spoke. I hope you have a good ride either way and I bet if you ride it will be on the tandem

[Michelle W]

Ester I still don't know If I can ride sunday I have had a bad cold and my white count sored and red went down hill and the Doctor said he would let me know on friday if he will give me the ok for the ride It figures this time maybe no monsoon and I may not get to ride that really stinks

Sandy take care of yourself. Hope you are feeling better soon.

[williamtash]

Thanks so don't I. I am hoping to ride next sat at least 20 even if the dr says no this not riding is the pits

[JayC]

They've upped the chance of rain to 70% on Sunday. I think its safe to say this is going to be a washout unless you want to ride in the rain/wind.

Here's a thought.. if the weather is bad for this event every year, why not move it to a more favorable time of year? Even bumping it out 2-3 weeks in May would probably make a big difference in the weather situation.

[williamtash]

i keep telling you it's not the event its David that is the cause of the rain I just told him that at spin cycle to He was going to move the date but from the feed back he got last year he keep it at this time

[JayC]

I used to attend this 5 day long car event in KY that was plagued by the same conditions year after year. Its actually coming up in 2 weeks. They ended up moving the date to try to avoid the bad weather. Maybe he'll give it a shot next year.

[Michelle W]

I think it depends on which site you check. Accuweather says rain at 6am Sunda and no more rain til noon. That is a pretty good break..if its true? We'll just have to wait til Sat night and see what they are saying then.

[JayC]

Yea.. other than the killer wind, it might be okay although I'd probably drop back to the 42 mile route just to try to be done before the rain sets in.

[Winnie]

Query: are there things you can do to brakes to make them work when wet?

[esther-l]

It is is David that attracts the rain. Last year the weather was wonderful and sunny on the day before RRR, and it was cold and heavy downpours for RRR.
Esther

[williamtash]

I was at that one on rest stop two and man when the temp dropped the 100 people really had it bad rain is bad but a cold rain is worse. they are talking rain and wind yuck. David got a boot out of the fact that I said it was him. He is the only ride that I have seen this happen to back to back

[JayC]

Query: are there things you can do to brakes to make them work when wet?

You can use a different brake pad or a multi-use pad like the Koolstops.

[skiffrun]

i keep telling you it's not the event its David that is the cause of the rain I just told him that at spin cycle to He was going to move the date but from the feed back he got last year he keep it at this timeBINGO!

[TracyW]

Looks like it is mainly going to be windy. Still planning to do 100k, anyone else?

[KarenG]

20mph winds are gonna cause me to bail on this ride.

[JayC]

Wow.. 21 MPH winds to start, 23 by 11AM. You guys have fun!

[Zonda]

Be there at 8:00 if you want to be in the photo. We need to be ready to line up by 8:15.

I'm leaving at 6:00 to pick up 18 dozen bagels. See you there.

[Zonda]

Wow.. 21 MPH winds to start, 23 by 11AM. You guys have fun!

Bailing is for wussey...:D

[TracyW]

Bailing is for wussey...:DHahaha

[FenderFreek]

Bailing is for wussey...:D

Love it...rise and shine!:D

[williamtash]

You all have agreat ride and I will see you next weekend andrew you have fun and let me know how your ride goes

[FenderFreek]

Sandy, I had a great time! I decided to ride a longer route and did 45 instead of the 31 that I had planned, and it turned out to be quite a challenge. Charley and myself rode together and we kept a pretty good pace considering the wind.

The weather was nice and warm, with no clouds or rain, but the wind, well, it was murder. We were running into headwinds pretty much the entire last 2/3 of the ride. Other than the wind, though, I don't think I could have asked for a more perfect day to ride.

I'll have stats up later but I'm off to get cleaned up and rest at the moment.

[williamtash]

I went out for a short ride and go knocked off the bike by a side wind. I am so glad you had a great time the Congraulation on the longer ride I am glad that charley and you worked together to do the ride. Now you are a rodie

[TracyW]

Wow, today sure was a NO WUSSEY day :D.

The wind hit me quite hard in a couple of places. One cross wind I actually leaned into the wind to keep from getting blown over :eek:. Stat's were not as good as I would have hoped but the pain won that arguement. I ended up with 64.92 miles with 4:21 ride time and an average of 14.6 mph.

Had a lot of fun. Will plan on doing it again next year.

[Zonda]

It ended up being a nice sunny day, wind was brutal.

[FenderFreek]

Just took a quick nap and feel incredibly refreshed, so here's my stats -

Time - 3:06:27
Average - 14.6 mph
Distance - 45.35 miles:D
Max - 41 mph:eek:

Charley's distance measurements are a bit more than mine, since he started measuring as soon as we took off from the shelter, and I started from further down the road, where we lined up.

[williamtash]

I am to but I did go out for a ride and got hit by a hard cross wind and went down got a little bruised up but other wise fine. So not sure if I could have done the ride with the gust anyway but sure would liked to have tried I really would have like to see all that great great going out.

Awesome Ride,

The 100 K was perfect, it had it all and then some. Slow Spokes Rule!
I will definitly plan on doing it again next year.

Time -4 hr. 4 min.
Distance'-65.58
Average- 16.1

[CharleyM3]

Windy ride. Took the TanK. Andrew, you're a great companion. I thoroughly enjoyed the day. There was about an 8 mile stretch by the brick yard where we were always with in 15 degrees of straight into the wind. Slow going that section was... Stats are from the GPS since I forgot my 'puter.
45.86 miles @ 14.4 mph moving average with top speed 39.8 :eek: Combined average speed 12.6mph.
I saw Tracy about a mile from the park entrance as I was heading out. Hope there was still pizza when you got in.

[esther-l]

Scott and I did the 31 on single bikes.

We cut the 31 mile route a little short.
27.3 miles
average speed: 10.6
max speed: 30.0
calorie count: 2500 burned

My commuting bike is a bit heavier, so it didn't move in the wind except when we were crossing that lake near the end of the ride, in a cross-wind. My bike and I probably outweigh Tracy and his bike. It only seemed like the wind was pushing around golf-ball sized chunks of pollen!

We were the last customers at rest stop 1. I ran out of oomph on that long uphill that was shortly after the rest stop and had to walk up a lot of that hill. We had a nice chat with the guy whose bike frame broke around there while I was resting near the top of the hill. He was riding his mtb uphill somewhat slowly, and his frame cracked. He got at least 1 foot on the ground and didn't fall, but the frame was in 2 pieces by the time he was stopped. The rest stop volunteers at rest stop 1 picked him up after they closed the rest stop.

If there weren't so many trees around our house, we might have noticed the bright blue skies and loaded up the tandem.... It would have been a good day to benefit from Scott's strength on the tandem.
Esther

[JayC]

Props to you guys that braved the wind. I am too much of a fatass to ride in wind like that. Id have gotten blown off the bike with all my frontal area.

[williamtash]

Congrats to Zonda riding both days and do the 64. That mean you just have the 100 left I will beat you will finially do one of those even though you said you were not interested in doing that far but you said you would not do the one you just did either ha ha

[Zonda]

Congrats to Zonda riding both days and do the 64.

Thanks for the kudos, but I rode the 31 mile route.:cool: After the hilly 55 mile ride Sat. 4/28, I didn't think I was ready for a hilly metric century. Michelle and I planned to ride the 43 mile route. After seeing how windy it was, we decided to ride the 31 mile route with Jackie T. and Susan instead. Still a good ride. This is the best local ride all year.

A century is NOT on my list of things to do any time soon!:eek:

[williamtash]

Ok so you did 86 mile in two days and that is still great and I still think you will get that 100 miles in I can see it in your eyes

Wow, you finished up well. I really enjoyed riding with you, Margot, Javier, and Mike. It was pretty lonely after I peeled off at the 42 mile route short cut. My pace feel off a bit without our pace line.
