Trying to get Ride Brooklyn to stay open late for us, but it's not looking so good.  If the weather is nice, we can meet at the park, or Commonwealth, which seemed to work fine last time.

How is Commonwealth?  Last time we were there it was pretty slow at 7pm.

I'm there.

Commonwealth is awesome. See you all there.

Hope everyone else is still on.

I'll be there...might be closer to 7:15 though.

Quite a wealth of information was imparted this evening, thanks for doing this guys.

This is it guys, the very first weeks when people (especially newer racers) start down that track to burnout or plan to rest so that they can get results in July/August.

People have been training since the wee cold months of winter and are fit and the weather is fine; many people have many, many races in their legs now.

It is fun and easy to go out and HULK SMASH the group rides while grinning ear to ear with your tongue hanging out..

Mid season BURNOUT looms but it is not inevitable!  

It's time to think about when and why you want to rest this summer.  Trust me; it is better to back off the intensity for a few weeks to regroup than hit that "aaa, fuckit!" state in three weeks time and hang up your wheels until October.

Talk to Wump, Bertucco, Ragot, PBerg or any of the other senior mentors for advice on this one... I can hear the dried wood of the peloton piling up as I type this
