Saturday morning-winter race training ride (NOTE: these are done for 2010)

The ride leaves Leschi at 8:30AM, we will then head across I-90 to the Mercer Island park and ride for a 8:50AM meet for those on the eastside. The ride will generally explore the roads of east King County with an occasional Lake Washington Loop, plan on riding 3 to 3 1/2 hours from Leschi.  This will be a no drop ride keeping the pace in zone two i.e. low heart rate. Fenders and buddy flaps are mandatory. The agenda for this ride is the following: To became familiar with your teammates, ride at a pace appropriate for the time of the season, practice riding skills to be a safe and successful racer, learn what your strengths and weaknesses are, and to have a good time.  The closer to the spring the faster/harder we will go.

Sunday morning

Meet at 9:00, depart at 9:15 am from Leschi Starbucks: S end to Coulon Park with May Valley or Mercer Island. This ride usually breaks up into at least two groups after Coulon Park: one higher-paced (led by no one in particular) to May Valley and one more “laid-back” to Mercer Island.  Once on the Island the pace usually ramps up until “only the strong survive”.  There are always slower groups to finish with and then a regroup at I-90.
