thanks everyone for showing up, look sharp was a ton of fun today... so much fun than i didn’t get a moment to take photos, other than one of Connor who killed us all... special Kudos to Jim and Mark who show up for just a couple of laps — that’s super awesome, super sharp.


Yeah,
I think Jim & myself would appreciate a 6am start 
let's do it, let's try next week at 6am.
Yeah, teenagers don't just get themselves out of bed in time for school... :)
i will be out tomorrow for workout wednesday getting in some intervals. company welcome!

6:30am GAP
Hello, Friday 6:00 am meet at GAP. Look Sharp.

Notice the new time, 6:00 am. You can still meet us at the old time or any time, just stop and wait, we'll orbit around.

We'll ride around easy, chatty chatty, rotating or not, for 60 to 90 minutes. 90 second openers might happen.

Wear kissena colors and look sharp.

Reminder.

We will let courtesy and common sense prevail, but we will NOT allow non Kissena members to join in or jump in our paceline. We will politely ask these riders to please ride in the back of the group or on their own.

There are plenty of caveats on this, like an out of town friend, former member, etc... but otherwise, we will enforce this.

Feel free to comment here or reach out to me directly if you have any comments or concerns: 347.225.1058.

Thanks.
</ end serious note>
Feel better@eloy hope your not top bashed up, thanks for changing the time , nice to get to ride with a group

so.... bikes...

Thanks everyone for coming out this morning, it is awesome to see this large group of kissenistas come out and ride together!

Just a quick report, I crashed when I hit a pothole while taking a photo. Luckily just me. Some road rash in my right hand and knee, bike seems fine, otherwise mostly a bruised ego.

I might skip the race tomorrow, but when it comes to crashes on asphalt, this is as minor as it gets.

I am pretty sure about a minute before, I said something to Jeff like "if you make it goal #1 not to crash..., then you don't" famous last words... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Being the public relations director has its amount of risk, anyway we're all glad that you're doing OK.
Glad you feel alright now. Remind your ego that you continued rolling with us for a lap and a half, that's twice PP hill while bleeding. That's tough.
I will be out for some sweet spot intervals tomorrow 6:30am GAP. come get some sweetness. 
I’ll be in PP tomorrow morning, but I’ll be doing a recovery ride. Today’s workout stomped my legs to jelly.
I’m going to be out around 5:30 so I’ll join up for the first effort or two before I leave to get ready for work

Takes “taking one for the team” to a new level. Hope it’s only your pride that’s bruised when you wake up tomorrow!
Thanks @Will Kalbacker - really enjoyed today's session 
Thanks for coming out! Looking strong 
Tomorrow. 6:00 am. Look Sharp. GAP

We'll ride super mega easy mellow for 60 to 90 minutes.

We'll chat about how I crashed last week, about how Marianna Vos crashed, Froome crashed, Kevin crashed, or maybe we'll just chat about Wout and Cyclocross...

If late, wait, we'll orbit around.

Wear kissena kit. Come looking sharp.

Meet at GAP 600am
Will be there too
Looking sharp indeed boys. Might (ahem) be time for some bike fits ;)
a few laps in the park to remember phil 
You guys are the best.
Hard to believe it’s been a year. It was nice to start the day doing something Phil loved. Still hard to think about that day on the bridge.
This week's Workout Wednesday is still on despite the weather. It will just be held individually at wherever you happen to be: in the park, at the gym, or in bed like me. 

We ride again next week!
Tomorrow. 6am. Look Sharp. Meet at GAP.

A few mellow laps, 90ish minutes, discussing the tour, Mike Woods, Mariana Vos, and Dan Reiners socks. It will be easy fun. Live commentary and openers on request.

Check here in case of rain, a downpour will cancel, but a little bit of rain like today won't stop us.

Wear kissena colors. Look sharp.
