3/3/12 Mid-Day Update - Sunday Ride Cancelled
3/3/12 Update - Saturday Ride Cancelled - Today will be a day to hit the trainers.
3/2/12 Update - Hmmmm - The forecast is for 20 degree wind chill, 20 mph winds, and roads that may still be covered with a bit of snow. Saturday is not looking terribly promising for a group ride.
--------------------------------------------------------------
After the taste of spring we had today (Leap Day - Wednesday 2/29). it is disappointing that winter weather will be back this weekend. However, there is no training at Vision Quest on Saturday, so we will be able to get in group rides on both days -- if the weather cooperates and the roads are not too wet.
Tentative plan is to head to Bluffington's on Saturday and to Panera in Lake Bluff on Sunday. For now, both rides are planned for 8:00 am, although we could move the start time of the Sunday ride back to 9:00 am in order to give the sun a chance to warm thing up a bit. If a decision to move the Sunday ride to 9:00 am becomes the plan, we'll post it to this page by Saturday afternoon
Both of the last two Sunday rides have featured all out sprints on most of the overpasses and hills along the route. It seems like this may turn into a trend. In the past, most of us are used to Martin becoming a little black dot on sprints, but due to his riding his fixie, it has been possible to keep him in sight on hill sprints the last two weeks. There were some great battles forf King of the Hill between Felix and Martin last Sunday.
It is probably not the fixie...you guys are getting faster! This is great!
ReplyDeleteHave good rides over the weekend! I will be in Minocqua Winter Park spending some quality time with badly needed snow. Hopefully I can recover enough by the next weekend to get back to riding.
Like to here about the attacking, now the strategies start to creep in! Now your having good fun.
