Plan for week of April 4/12

Great job at the race on Saturday everyone!    After only a week of training, I was amazed at how strong everyone is and how well you guys are learning the basics of drafting and group tactics.  

Here's the plan for this week:

Monday:  one-hour tempo ride on your own
Tuesday:  interval ride.  Sunrise mt. parking lot.  5 pm.  Pick-up at 6:30.
Wed:  endurance ride with WBC.  SH (Start House) at 5 pm, pick-up at 7:15
Thurs:  sprint ride from the SH 5 pm.  Pickup at 6:15.  
Friday:  1/2 hour ride easy on your own
Saturday:  Pre-enter for Rick Newhouse race (see link to the right) on bike-reg.  Details for race-day to follow.

For all rides, try to wear your team kit.  If the weather is below 60 F, wear an underlayer under your jersey and bring your team jacket rolled up in your back jersey pocket.   For Wed's endurance ride, be sure to have two bottles ready to go on your bike. 

Let me know if you have any questions.
