Saturday 3/7 ride

Well, it looks like this Saturday will have much improved ride conditions. The latest forecast shows a low of 55 and a high of 67 with a chance of isolated storms. I wouldn't put the tights away, yet. It is March, so expect anything. We'll be shy a few riders. Maybe we can go back to the original route out which should get us to Catawba at 8:30 or so. I just love those hills.
Don't forget, this weekend we "spring forward" and go to daylight savings time. That will make it much better for evening rides. We will do some midweek Urbana rides, then later we will do some Christiansburg evening rides to get ready for TOSRV.
Soon, I will post a listing of rides this year, including some of the more significant training rides. Keep checking back. We will modify (and lengthen) the traditional Saturday rides as needed to help us prepare for the major organized rides.
This weeks rides will be pretty tame compared to the excellent adventure ride last Saturday. James did a great job of organizing the "amazing race". Aaron and Doug came in first, but everyone had a great time hunting for various goodies at CJB. By the time I got home, my legs were screaming. In pain, but "sweet" pain. Of course, the head wind and cold temps were an additional element to deal with. Take a couple of Advil, jump in the shower, and go to bed. Next day, almost good as new. Wonder, "Am I getting to old for this"? No, not yet. Not by a long shot.
I am looking forward to the first "no frostbite" ride of the year.
