JDRF Team Training Ride #2 - 4.20.08

JDRF Team Training Ride #1 - 4.6.08

Team Ride This Sunday!!!!!!!!

Hey Gang!

Team Ride #2 is this Sunday! We are rollin' outta Johnson Park on 28th St @ 2:00pm. (DiD put a map up on the Team Site). I drove the route yesterday...it's nice, a couple rollers but not too hilly. Quiet roads and pretty views. We are going to try to get on the road pretty much right on time 'cuz some of us are off to Van Andel afterwards. The main route is 21 miles and there will be a "long cut" that'll add 3-4 miles if anyone is so inclined. I'll have a few maps and some tip sheets.

As I mentioned earlier...I would like to try and keep us in 2 groups as opposed to a lead group and a buncha single riders, for safety and social reasons. We'll chat about it a bit before we roll.

I'll be there @ 1:30 if anyone wants a flat tire seminar.

Look for me in the 2nd parking lot as the first one is still closed off.

Speaking of "closed off"...when I was there this week the bathrooms weren't open and the sign said that the park was "closed until 4/30" so plan accordingly. (There are a buncha gas stations just a few minutes east on 28th St.)

Snacks? What do you think!?

See you there!

New photos

Just posted photos of last Sunday's team ride on the photo site. Click on the link to the right or right here. See your fellow riders in action. Actually you'll see them getting ready to ride and having snacks after the ride. Maybe later we'll get some photos of people actually riding their bikes.

Great turnout for the first ride

It was a fantastic day and we had a fantastic turnout as this photo shows. That's not even everybody. Several folks arrived after the picture was taken. In all there were 23 riders on Sunday. Without a doubt our best inaugural ride of the season ever. A hearty welcome to all the new riders who showed up. We currently have 40 people scheduled for Death Valley, 20 riding in Asheville and a few in Whitefish. Although more people are joining us everyday, so those numbers could be too low already. Next team ride is in two weeks at Johnson Park. See you there.

Ding ding, it's spring

It's on, yo! Sunday, 2pm rollout, Ada Park (lookit, I made a map). Be there, or be forever known as the one who squandered one of the first nice days of 2008.
