Hi Ed (and others), I'd love to do the 75 miles at an 18-19mph pace tomorrow morning. Do you know the route so we can have our own ride at that pace? Looking forward to seeing you at 7am!

Is there a group that wants to do this but an 18-19 pace (20-21 is killing me this year)? Let me know. If we can get enough people we can have an A- ride. If not, I will ride with the hill flies until I get dropped J.

G's, It is going to be a cooker this weekend. Close to 100 degrees. Let's get in a ride and leave early to beat the heat. Start time will be 7am. We'll do a variation of the "Big Snow Hill Chill" Route. How appropriate is that with this heat? Think cold Saturday! Here is the schedule for the week: SATURDAY RIDE (6/20): (A GROUP - Tony) MEETING PLACE: St Francis of Assisi Church - (Directions: http://www.raleighgyros.com/locations.htm) TIME: Saturday 6/20 @ 7am RIDE DISTANCE: 75 miles PACE: 20-21mph LSD ROUTE: (See the map below) CUE SHEET: No Cue Sheet http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=2927560 (Rest stop in Rougemont @ 37 miles) (B GROUP - Maria) Maria will post all the information for her ride. SUNDAY RIDE (6/21): 1. Kim's Recovery Ride leaves from Blue Jay Point @ 8am. (38 miles @ 17-18mph pace) (Gary Rohlke will be taking over this ride temporarily) 2. Mike's Gyro Touring Ride - Mike will post all the information for this ride. MONDAY RIDE (6/22): Hal's Ride leaves from the Trek Store on Durant Road & Raven Ridge Roads. TIME @ 6pm. DISTANCE: 25-30 miles. PACE @ 18mph (NOTE: THIS RIDE WILL BE ON ONLY IF SOMEONE POSTS TO LEAD) TUESDAY RIDE (6/23): Rick's Ride leaves from St Francis of Assisi Church . TIME @ 6pm. DISTANCE: 31 miles PACE @ 21mph WEDNESDAY (6/24): Andy's Ride leaves from St Francis of Assisi Church . TIME @ 5:45pm. DISTANCE: 39 miles. PACE @ 20-21mph (Controlled) THURSDAY (6/25) Dave's Ride leaves from the Trek Store on Durant & Raven Ridge Roads. TIME @ 6pm. DISTANCE: 32 miles. PACE @ 17-18mph All ride locations can be found on our website @http://www.raleighgyros.com/locations.htm THE PLAN: One or more groups will leave with the intent of riding as a group at a target pace. 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.
