Weekend Rides July 29/30

[Chris Helwig]

Weekend Rides will be as follows:

Saturday 9am from my place. 2-3 hrs with 6 sprints. Sprints must be started within 500 meters of the finishing point, so no super early attacks. Remainder of ride in fairly stritct Z2.

Sunday 9am from my place. 2x20 min Z4 pieces on the usual route. 2.5-3.5 hrs depending on where you turn off. For those doing the Thursday ITT, or not wanting to do the pieces, there will be an option to sit on the back and or have the group turnaround and regroup after the pieces.

A hot day but the rain held off. Just 5 riders, myself, Brownie, Choquette, Mooney and Torchia. A good sprited sprint ride in the heat. Brownie took the first one as I lead it out. He came around convinvingly, not only is his riding strong but so is his sprinting. Second sprint pretty much everyone hit the front at the same time. Ted Mooney was putting in a bid for victory after a Choquette leadout. Brownie and I were boxed in but I managed to squeck through for the win. The next 3 sprints were all Brownie. Joe and I gave him some competition but he won them all. The last one I managed to take on the rolling hills. A good ride, hopefully we can get some bigger numbers for Z4 tomorrow.
