Hey Mike, I should be out around the same time.

Adam, I will look for you and update the board as I get closer to knowing exactly what time I will be out.

Sounds good. I'm flexible, so let me know when you're heading out and I can meet you then.

Hey could I join you guys let me know when your heding out.
917-586-0170 text me thanks,

I'll be out there around 6:45 doing some openers.

The park was absurd today.

I am coming out to PP around 6:30 with my brother & a non-racing friend. Casual ride to spin out stale legs. No openers, just happy to be pedaling a two-wheeled machine in sunshine today instead of starring at my screen.

Hey Guys -- I was riding in the park this evening and noticed that the DOT has cut some lines into certain areas of the border zone dividing the pedestrian/runner lane and the bike lane. These incisions *appear* to be in preparation for some sort of barriers. The areas that I noticed these workings were coming into and through "the gauntlet", that is, the curve after the descent. If obstacles are placed here, it's going to be rather interesting. Also, I noticed the cuts at the top of the park, approaching the main exit... yeah, that location where runner and walkers gingerly cross without looking back, or better they look back see you coming at 19mph and keep walking as if they didn't see you (they did, but it got filtered out of cognition, since humans weren't designed to recognize oncoming bicycles as a life-threatening danger).

Anyhow, who knows the scoop on these insidious incisions?

Norm:

no barriers that I know of. The are repainting the lines and adding new lines so they needed to grind off old stripes to go to the new 1 lane of car traffic pattern.

FYI: They are putting a stripped crosswalk @ GAP across the park drive. No light, just stripes. I thought this was a very bad idea, and said so, but they are going ahead with it.

Ah, ok, perhaps the cuts in the pavement are used when they employ those super thick paint stripes.

Im back in action and heading to PP shortly for some spinning endurance, 1 or 2 hours.

Anyone? 6.30's?

heading to prospect for some sprints now

Kracken releasing...

Kracken Ashley and I caught up on our Ragot home work:
- almost-puke-inducing out of the saddle KOM sprints.
- 200+ sewing machine downhill sprints.
- 2 x how dare-you-pass-me-boy-racer sprints
- 1 x Cavendish chin-touching-front-wheel sprint
Pleasant evening. Hope to make it out for TT in the morning.

I summoned my Kracken this eve!

New power record for everything down from 6 seconds to 1 second. 18.55w/kg (granted all from my first effort)

3 standing sprints from slow to almost stand still
3 seated sprints from same slow/no speed
3 standing sprints started at speed
Then just when I thought I was done met John who kicked my ass for another few acid reflex inducing sprints. Tried his kamikaze downhill sewing machine spin out while my 1996 trek wobbled under me, got 180rpm out of the old girl, I cant imagine going higher.

Still feel slightly sick, thanks john

Anyone want to do some endurance riding this evening?

Im going to do some tempo ramping up to ftp around 730

Contemplating it but likely going to rest.

headed to the park round 630. im down ryan.

Headed out for a social spin. Too nice a day not to enjoy. Be there till about 5:30

Headed out around 7. Nice and easy.

weather permitting, will try to shake the triangle out of my legs with a light spin around 8-8:30 tonight. 1 hour, slow and easy.

Im going to do some kracken releasing sprint workouts later if anyones interested.
Ill be in PP from around 730pm.

I'd love to but resting back one more day.

2x20 snot fest this eve aiming for 730pm

Good to see a few brave faces out this morning. Humid, grey and eeeeerly in the morning.
I could only pry myself away from my pillow by admonishing myself that openers *must* be done ahead of TOK.

@Jules Yes you were definitely doing a more intense workout than us. Good luck this weekend to you and the other Killington Killaz (I know, I know not an original name, but hey it works again).

I would have like to join the social crew, trust me...
In other news, looks like the striping is just about complete. Sadly the grooves left where they tore up the old pain (at the top of the uphillhill by GAP) seem to be permanent installation art now.

Bummed to have missed every morning (and evening) this week. Hazards of work - 3 straight 9-10 p.m. nights = major suckitude. Hope to make it out tonight and tomorrow morning....
