I am looking to begin afternoon rides at the park soon during the week beginning at around 3 pm. Pace will be about 17-18 min per lap for at least 4 laps. That is about a 17 mph ave speed.
Anyone interested???

Hi Sam,

If I'm unemployed (see this (http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=19475)) I'll be interested.


Pace will be about 17-18 min per lap for at least 4 laps.
I ride to the park from my house in Decatur (about 8-9 miles) and then ride around the mountain. I've never done more than 2 laps and my pace is usually 10-12 mph. The hills are killers - at least for my 58 year old body. :eek:
I'm way out of shape because of winter but hope I'll be in better shape (not great shape) by the end March when the ax falls. :o

The last time I was unemployed (2000-2001) I was out of work for 9 months. Seems that no one wants to hire "older" workers. You've heard of age discrimination. :mad: So unless I get lucky I'm expecting to be unemployed for a while. :(

I'd be happy to ride a couple of laps with ya Ron, I have been meaning to meet you some time anyway just to say hi.

What is your profession? Any possible job opportunities around the bend??

I need to just come out there one saturday and ride with you. I will have the baby and the trailer so it will be lots of work on the hills. But I like it that way.
