Hey All
Looks like a great night to ride!
Leaving the shop at 5:30
Steady pace of 19
STEADY is the key, lets not let a group go off the front again please lets stay together and no matter what the person next to you does you all have computers/Garmin's and know what "tom said" 19 is what we are doing... we need to keep order with speed and that makes the group faster and more efficient.
2 abreast max. When you are pulling off the front, thanks for your pull! but there is no need to go to the center line to move the back.. fall back close to the pace line and fall back single file. then we are only 3 abreast for a short time. Fall back in line asap don't pedal at the groups pace that doesn't work to get to the back quicker...
Single file on North street 22-23 mph (we do this to get some of the crazy speed out of our legs before Turkey hill and then we can enter Turkey and have a safe sprint) If you get out front on North street you can do your pull and then if you get tired no problem, just slowly pull out to your left and let the group go by and then hope back on the end of the group.
Turkey hill sprint on our side of the invisible middle line! Staying on our side of the road and communicate if your passing let the rider ahead know your coming by or if you are tired and slowing make sure the group behind can tell your toast. Our speeds are increasing and this is when things can go wrong! Lets use our heads out there and have some safe fun.
Beer afterwards.
See you there.

I hope everyone has had a great long weekend!!
Let ride!
Leave the shop at 5:30 as a group! We need to be at the federal/High street intersection together so we don’t hold up traffic too long.
19 mph controlling the group till about Tender Crop (last week 22 by Tendercrop was too fast and also we had 2 groups forming) make sure to look back and communicate as this is a group ride!
Remember to watch speeds going around corners and at stop signs and not drilling it till everyone is around corners and then slowly get speed back up!
Single file on North street (not sure if the pavement is fixed so heads up and let everyone know if it’s bad!
The sprint on Turkey hill needs a little more polishing!! Please move more towards the right of the road too many people are going over the center line and we can’t have this!! Last week our bottle neck on the slight uphill with 2 walkers, 1 car, the crazy potholes was the perfect storm. So let’s keep our heads and not go 5 abreast especially there!!!!
I did talk to walkers they were a little nervous but understood it was a wrong timed coincidence.
I will not be there tomorrow so please be on your best behavior!! Big Chris and Austin will be helping me out! Treat them with the same courtesy and respect you all do for me.
Have a great ride and don’t forget about the Mallorca meeting Friday 6-7!
