Now Dave as said We have been watching this weekends weather and hoping for a change, but because the forecast we have made a change to the St. Patty’s Day Ride. We have closed the 64 mile route and will ONLY be riding a 32 mile route. We are keeping the start time of 9am with rider check-in opening at 8:30am. Please make note of this change and plan as needed. Sorry for any inconvenience that may cause, but we want safe cyclists. Trek Bikes of Raleigh & Tour de Cure Witch time is the right time 9:00 or 8:00 ?

We will try to cover the same routes, albeit a shorter distance for the slower group, so if you're struggling or want to ride at an easier pace, you can move back to a slower group. If you're already in the slowest group, the ride leader will check to make sure you can make your way back alone or with another volunteer. You'll know within the first 7 miles whether or not you're strong enough to maintain the pace. The general rule is that you should be able to maintain at least a 19+mph pace for the A Group, 18mph pace for 40-50 miles with the B+ Group or a 16mph pace for 30-40 miles with the B Group, when considering which group to ride with. If you can not maintain these paces, then it is suggested that you consider the C/B- Sunday ride. (Please refer to the link above). > > > > Each group should make a concerted effort to keep the group together but there will always be those who want to pick up the pace on the return. It is more appropriate to do this the last 5-7 miles of a ride. The short hammer sessions, that are always inevitable during our rides, will not be affected. > > > > To find out more about pacelines, please read the link below. > > > >http://www.raleighgyros.com/training.htm > > > > Thanks, Tony --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you foolishly subscribed to the Gyro email group.
