GOTHR

Another awesome gothr ride today. I believe there were at least 9 of us and we covered 49 miles. Only 1 stop, which was to repair a flat and with the pacelines we were able to get the ride finished before the snow got too bad. Wind was not awful and the roads stayed relatively dry until the end of the ride(by then my socks were soaked). I was able to use my fender on the rear to keep my back dry but my track-geometry bike kept me from installing a front fender. Definitely feeling a lot better after this ride than previous, hopefully I'll be able to keep up the pace during the week.


Tomorrow is the McCoy's ride. Leaves at 6 from Volker Bicycles, cruises around for about an hour and ends at McCoy's for $7 pitchers/pizza/burgers. A true bargain and a great time. Mtn./cross bikes are probably preferred with the snow accumulating.

Weekend

Weekend, so far-so good. Got good mtn. biking in this morning before it got too warm. Did 3 laps before it I started getting my shirt dirty.

SC has some good pics of the party and mtn. biking.


Hopefully the weather will stay good for GOTHR. Starts at 1:00 tomorrow, leaving volker bicycles. If there is snow on the roads, I would recommend riding a mtn/cross bike instead of road bike. Plan on a 4 hour ride, then a super bowl party somewhere...

This is good!

I promise!

Riding.

I missed the Urban CX race on saturday, due to not planning ahead and getting someone in the store. It was obviously a fun time. I heard rumors that r5 was there and also that we wasn't there. I had a few guesses on who it was, but I keep getting turned down.


Sunday was a good day. We got in about 60 miles by the time the sun set. Here is the route. Joe used my Garmin 500 with powertap. It works great! So much info, especially when you use trainingpeaks. Steve and I road are fixed bicycles again. We had pretty good gearing, around 44/20, and could keep up just fine. The ride was much better than the previous week. Though I prefer the Longview route, having the sun go down around 3 and pedaling the last 15 miles into a 20mph headwind was not ideal when you can't shift.

1:00 Ride Today!

30 degrees and sunny. 40-70 mile ride, you choose. Meet at Volker Bicycles!
