Since it’s Father’s Day Sunday, we will ride on Saturday instead. Several of our leaders had conflicts riding on Sunday. Also, we are starting early to avoid the heat and traffic.

Please print, sign and bring with you the attached liability waiver if you are riding with our group for the first time.

RSVP by Friday, 5:00 p.m. with your route choice if you want to be put in a riding group. This is done to ensure everyone rides with someone at their pace and doesn’t get dropped. With 20-25 riders attending, it has become too chaotic trying to handle unexpected riders a few minutes before the ride while I’m trying to welcome new riders, organize the planned riding groups and get myself ready to ride. If you don’t RSVP so we can plan ahead, you will need to view the list (headcount posted Friday after 5:00) and arrive early to find those folks and add yourself to their group.

When: SATURDAY, 06/16/07, 7:00 a.m.

Where:

Cycling Spoken Here (http://cyclingspokenhere.com/)
1377 NW Maynard

Me, Charley, Sandy and Andrew will alternate leading the short routes. Charley will lead the third Sunday each month. Sandy will help out when she can. Andrew will lead once a month.

Charley will lead the short route this week. I will ride the 50-mile route.

Pace:
10-12 mph beginners (follows strict no drop policy)
13-18 mph (riders wait at turns for others to catch up)

There are several subgroups for ride paces and distances. Please watch out for others in your subgroup so no one gets dropped.

All riding groups will stay together until the designated breakaway point then you can break away into your subgroups.

Contact Person: Zonda. Send me an email or private message (http://www.trianglecycling.com/member.php?u=42) through this site if you have any questions.

Comments:

RSVP requested to help plan riding groups. RSVP by replying to ride announcement thread.
Please arrive in time to prepare your bike to leave promptly at the ride start time listed.
Beginners are welcome to join this ride.
New riders should read Bicycling Hand Signals and Safety Pointers (http://www.trianglecycling.com/showthread.php?t=17385)
First time riders with this group should fill out the attached liability waiver and bring it to the ride. NCBC’s insurance company requires one on file each year for each cyclist.
All riders should carry proper equipment in case they have a flat (spare tube, pump or CO2 cartridge). Helmets required.
It is strongly recommended that you carry your driver’s license, health insurance card (or a photo copy), emergency contact information or Road I.D. (http://www.roadid.com/) in case of an emergency.

I'll be there. Sometimes I sweep from the front rather than lead from the back, either way, no-one gets left behind. See ya there.

I know most folks will be doing the Ice Cream Ride on Saturday, but I like the 7:00 start time. I can do a leisurly (14-15 mph) 50 and still be home by noon. If I did the Ice Cream Ride, I would have had to push it to finish the 40 by noon.

Count me in for 50.

We were planning on doing the ice cream ride, but the 7 am start is appealing. Plus, I am in Slow Spokes withdrawal since I'm missing Wednesday nights. :( I haven't discussed this with Brian yet, but I'm thinking put us down for the 50 mile route - he can let you know if he disagrees:D

Alright folks. I'm not doing the 20 route by myself. Sign up, suite up, show up, and saddle up. Hey, I think I'm on to sump'um 'ere.

Have the grammar police issue a warrent for my arrest.

I'll try. Depends on her work schedule, but I'll ask tonight.

Also, I may not be able to lead next Sunday. I've had work thing come up for next week and I'll be getting back in from Cali at 6:30 Sunday morning. I'll try to have my gear ready and be out ther by 7:30, but you all know how airlines are these days. If anyone wants to volunteer to take my place in case I can't make it, that would be awesome. I'll take the next ride for whoever would be willing to do that.

Hi Ya'll!! I'm thinking 30 or 20! Keeping an eye on the weather.

I finished the first day of the Tour De Cure!! 76.1 on my odometer...at 12.5 average, 6hours 2minutes. I was still riding at 13.9 at 55 miles, but then it just got SUPER HOT!!!! Hence the steady decline to 12.5. Thanks to all of you who helped me prepare! It was a great day!

Me and the "Vanderkitten" will be riding the 50 mile. I'd like to go be in a 16-18 mph group, if there is one. Otherwise I'll ride with the pack.

I am not sure I can manage 16-18 or how big the pack will be. I have managed 17.2 once this year, but 15.5-16.5 is closer to the norm for me.

Hey there Zon. The past 2 months have been crazy with my kids sports, but now that baseball/softball is over, I can hopefully ride with you all more often. I'll be there Saturday for 30 miles in the 13-18 mph group.

We were going to do the ice cream ride but the 7am is so much better for us. Count on Elaine and Boyd for Saturday am. Probably the 50 mile ride. Hope you got my note on your car Zonda (wed night) I had no computer to email you and it was raining here. I must have just missed you guys riding out. Sorry. Hope all had a good time.

It’s Charley’s birthday and he wanted to ride at least 48 miles, so I will lead the short route tomorrow. Happy Birthday!

I put Bess with the 20 milers because Perry and Rob ride a similar pace (15 mph). If anyone else wants to change to 30, maybe we can put Bess in the 30-mile group so she gets a longer ride.

Head count for tomorrow:

Riders: 14

20 miles
Zonda (leading)
Andrew
Ed
Donna
Bess (or 30 miles)
Sandy (maybe)

30 miles
Rob S.
Perry

Vanderkitten
Brian J.

Charlie, Boyd, Elaine, and I rode together until Boyd and Elaine got to their house (about 0.6 miles from the finish). Betsy (Vanderkitten) and Brian stayed with us until the rest stop on US 64, then they decided to take a more direct route back to the store and cut about eight miles off the route. Jon T was faster than us most of the time, but waited for us at the turns.

I had the following:
Distance: 51.8 miles
Pace: 15.3 mph
Time: 3:23

CharleyM3

Jon T was faster than us most of the time, but waited for us at the turns.

Well, some of the turns anyway...
I had 51.9 miles at 15.7 for a total of 3:18:16 of turning wheels.

Great ride. The queue sheet could use a couple small adjustments.

We ended up with 46 miles, 13.9 average, 3:15 minutes. I was doing better the first half of the ride, but some blood sugar issues slowed me down. I rode the last 17 miles feeling like death, but no worries, I'm all better now:D.

It was a good ride. 51.45 miles averaging 16.1mph, 3:11 ride time.

Glad you didn't have to SAG, but sounds like it was smart to cut the route short.

Rick was sure that you could figure the blood sugar out, being an almost-pharmacist and all. :)
