Saturday Bicycle Ride at Noon April 10, 2010 from Caribou

Saturday looks better than Sunday so I am going riding at noon on Saturday leaving from Caribou Coffee in First and Main at 12:05 p.m.

We will have an A (35 miles) and a B (25 miles) ride with rough cue sheets at left. I will bring cue sheets to choose from. It will be a no drop ride of around 25-35 miles into and out of the Valley, you will choose your distance. Similar to what we did last weekend. No Oak Hill, No Ira. But maybe a nice long ride up Columbia and/or Major Rd. out of the West side of the Valley and back home on Truxell.

Bring: helmet, flat repair kit, no i-pods, I will provide the PowerBar Products pre-ride.

Temps will be in the low 50s to start the ride and rise 10 degrees during the ride.

I hope you can make it out for this 2 - 2 1/2 hour ride.

Easter Sunday Ride

We had 7 riders show up for an impromtu 2:00 p.m. Easter Sunday afternoon ride. New rider who responded to the Hub Times photo and contact info, Steve, gave it a go along with, Tom, Ed, Ross, Amanda, Howard and Michael.

It was beautiful spring weather with temps tickling above 70 degrees and the sun shining. We went down 303 to Truxell into the valley and tried to keep the first 5 miles of roll out below 15 mph. Amanda peeled off early and headed back to Solon fighting a respiratory infection but was solid in her effort. The we screamed down into the valley and looped around Hale Farm and back up Riverview to Peninsula and finished up back Truxell. No time trial, too early in the season for that nonsense. Just a nice ride with a little hill work. We stopped at the stop signs and made a good name for cycling early in the season. 33 miles in total and a pace around 16.3 mph.
