I appreciate all of the feedback regarding the need for changing the Tuesday Rick's Ride format. The consensus was that it was various circumstances coming together all at once that kept most of the riders away last week. More a matter of coincidence than any deeper meaning.
There will only be one change in the ride: IT WILL BEGIN AT 6:00pm SHARP! The ride will be the same with one request: I ask our strongest riders to hold back on the throttle just a bit as we head up Coley/Kemp to allow more riders to stay on without going into the red so early in the ride. Many of us do not have the time to get in a proper warm-up, and, hammering right out of the shoot does not really add much to the overall average speed, and, may actually take away some strong legs later in the ride. We still want to ride fast, but, with just a bit more of a sense of controlling things a bit until we hit Patterson on the way out. A steady, hard pace without sudden surges as new riders go to the front is how we were doing it earlier. This falls on our strongest riders: those who are in the best form. (You guys know who you are...) Date: Tuesday, June 8 Time: 6:00pm SHARP! Place: St. Francis Distance: 31 miles *Course: Standard Pace: 22-23 *If you are not familiar with the Standard course please email me privately and I will send you the directions. Let's see you out there! My ride wants the "buzz back"... -- You received this message because you subscribed to the Gyro email group.
