I'm hopefully finishing up my three week hiatus on Wednesday. Return visit to the doctor and hopefully will get clearance to ride again. As I started a new job at the beginning of February downtown, I should probably bring up the topic of early departures on Tuesdays sooner rather than later.

I just haven't had the time to make it over to here but I posted it up in the team forum that we're riding at 5:30. Earlier if we can but seriously I am going to be pushing it to get out of work in time to get there. I am bringing a light and blinkie just in case.

Ride takes about 1:30 on slow days. sun sets at 7:00 If we can run at 5:20 then great. Be there when you can.

Ok. I'll probably just ride from the office, then. I'll leave at about 5:00 and look to hook up with you guys for atleast a few miles when you hit the "north" loop.

Psimet2001 

We'll see you there.

What happened?

cyclpsycho

Dave! Save yourself! It was from the smoke in that hotel room!

Really, I've been struggling with my left hamstring, seems like forever. Now that I'm older of course, it's gotten worse. After all these years I find out I have a shorter right leg. I now have orthodics with a lift for my everyday shoes and I shimmed my cycling shoes. It feels a whole lot better! Now it's just dialing in the bike and getting use to it. Then I'll hit the gas

dave342

Well then hit it hard!!

MJH2

So nice to be able to ride mid-week again! Thanks for letting me tag along part of the way.

Good to see you out there. Please get new bibs.

MJH2

Oddly enough, those bibs aren't even comfy. I only wore them because I thought I'd be sporting the knee warmers, and they're less offensive with knee warmers... but it was too warm when I started.

Next week better not be ****ty out.

CyLowe97

Yesterday was no wind, sunny, and upper 50's. In March. You do the math, Skilling.

2005trek1200

yea it was hella nice out yesterday, no wind perfect temps. love that route too, dig all the rollers

Psimet2001 

I hate the rollers but they make me stronger.

tspek

Yeah and Sunday it's going to be 38 and snowy.

Somebody has to have some stats. I want to know what I'm in for next week.

MJH2

I did a mostly different ride than those guys (did a lot of looping around and back) but you can see the route and all stats here:

Mouse over the finish balloon for stats.

tspek

Don't worry, The Flying Scotsman and I are going to bring it...

Psimet2001 

It was very slow comparatively. If you show up and turn it into a race I'll smack ya. It's too damned early to have 2 race days every week.

tspek

You really plan on racing in this crap?

i thought the pace was pefect for this time of year; drill it up the hill, recover on the way down

Psimet2001 

I don't look at any weather reports around here until it is close enough to show up on the hourly forecast. Anything before then - especially in March - is horridly wrong.

2005trek1200

Looks like mr. psimet and i are rolling out of PRP at 5:15-5:20 if anyone is interested...

ColorChange

OK, I think I can do that pace. Figured you guys were sandbagging as usual.

tspek

You can't sandbag on a training ride.
