Prospect Park Weekday Training Sessions & Riding

1863 comments · 28564 views
I'm gonna go out around 4-4:30pm today. Anyone in?
I'd like to start getting on the road more now that things seem to be clearing up a bit. I'd like to put Wednesday evening out there as a day I'd be willing to lead a regular ride. I'm flexible on start time, could start as early as 4 or as late as 6:00. Would anyone else be interested in joining? Since it will be in between my 2 hard workout days, it will mostly be an endurance day with some occasional tempo, suitable for most riders. If you care to go faster, I'd be happy to sit on your wheel. Mostly looking for good company.

Let me know,

Mike
Anybody joining you for this Mike?
I get out of work at 7, otherwise I would be down.

Me and a couple guys from work, and a couple guys from the internet have been riding at the park, meeting at 8pm GAP. Lately it has been 4 or 5 guys on track bikes and 1 on a road bike, but its fast and open to everyone.

this is another option.
I'm definitely interested....earliest I could get out there would be around 8 p.m.
I was out there yesterday, banging out some laps in the cold. see you next week?
I am in Austin this week but will post about next week.
Michael... will you be attending NAHBS?

Chris... I will come out for next wednesday's evening park ride. Thanks for getting this evening event underway!
Oh... I see that the evening ride was suggested by Mike... thanks Mike!
with Computrainer Wednesdays winding down (big thanks to Neil R. for putting these sessions together) I'll probably come join next wed as well.
sweet. sounds awesome. I might have a new bike try out . . . (!!!)

nice! what'd ya get?
building it up today hopefully
hot fire!

what were you riding before?
this is the only photo i has of it.

steel hot tubes
oh shizzle

you have a hot tubes cross bike as well, no?
Naw, the Cross bike is a Burley. They made frames for a couple years, before they got bought out for their awesome child trailer producing abilities. I think the builders started a new company out of Washington.

I dont remember what tubing the Hot Tubes is, Columbus something or other. Its a 56 square, so it a litttttle small, but its MAD quick. super fun ride. The Burley is True Temper OX Platinum, and has a 58 tt.

The Hot Tubes is awesome, but I am curious to see how i do on something a bit stiffer and bit better fitting.

We will see.
I'll try to be out there tomorrow by 7PM GAP if anyone is up for it....
word!
now you just need a ride with China's first professional team!
looks good...

I'll try to descend onto GAP a little earlier than 8pm tonight --will definitely be there by 8 though. -Norm
I'll be out there starting 7:30-8:00 this evening. Will ride contra traffic (carefully) and look for the group.
i'm planning to do the same - probably will get out around 8:00 or so.
After a week of feelin run down, I officially have a sore throat, so i am staying in tonight,

sorry for the late notice.

see you next week!
I should be at PP's GAP entrance or the triangle 'round 7, maybe a touch after.

Chris: hope you're feeling better soon.
Good group out tonight: Daniel, Aaron, Rich, Norm, Ragot and myself. Next week: same bat time, same bat channel (7PM GAP)
Yep --I arrived a little after 8 but was happy that I got to jump into some sprint activity with the fellas (those early sprints really warm-up the hands quickly!).

After the other guys [wisely] departed for beers, I kept rollin with 1 TT lap, followed by 5 min. rest, followed by another TT lap. The wind was piping at right about sub-Floyd levels, so this activity was incredibly enjoyable! I have no idea why my calves had to go clamp down on me for 20 mins. I wound down with a few laps spinning here, slow-cadence/high-gear there.

Come on out next week and let's hope the breeze freshens!
I'm going out over the GWB tomorrow during the day if anyone wants to come. Should be pretty decent weather. Like today but more cloudy. I'm flexible on a time.
JEFFFF

I went today, but I am down for another go (i might be a bit beat up). Let me know whats up.
Whenevs. GWB at 10? I'm not planning on hammering. Maybe just river road alpine to Ash/Bradley and back. I'm just trying shed the extra 15 lbs I put on since September. Happy glad I woke up yesterday not sick for the first time in a month! Which means I'll over do it and get sick again...

Holla,

Ragot and I will be @ Grand Army Plaza at 7PM to do some riding. Come join us.
