Chris,
I really like that idea. There should be plenty of neighborhoods that could
accommodate this; I am sure that Tony would know of some. Sprint training like
this would raise every Gyro's conditioning and make each of us better riders.
This is an area that we really do not do very much of. We sprint for a few
county lines, but not many of us contest them, and some of us are never sure
when they are coming up!
How long were the sprints, and how were they marked? Were the neighborhood
roads fairly wide? Was this done like a crit where they would finish a sprint
and then loop around for another one? Did they regroup after a sprint? Do you
need a few more questions?
I am trying to picture how we could make this work for us.
Any ideas, guys?
