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.
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.
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.
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...
