Don't forget that tomorrow (Saturday) is the "get acquainted with the team" ride from the SH at 10:30 am. Plan to come a bit early to socialize. Also, for team training rides, all kids must have a spare tube and CO2 cartridge or pump, so tomorrow's a great time to dial that in at the SH. We'll do a super easy ride out past Suicide 6 and back. Everyone's invited and this ride is definitely parent friendly no matter what your current fitness level is.
Sunday is Battenkill. We have Peter, Jr., Brendan Rhim, Ansel and Stockman competing. Plan is to leave Woodstock at 5:30 am, pick up Stockman in Bridgewater at the Olson's store (corner of Rt. 4 and Rt. 100A like last time) and head to Bob's Diner in Manchester for breakfast by 7 am. We'll eat for 1/2 hour or so and be in Cambridge by 8:20 am or so.
Kim's driving the team van as the morning sag for the whole race, so we probably won't leave the race until mid-afternoon. We'll try to be back to Woodstock by 5 pm.
Thanks and I hope to see as many of you as possible tomorrow morning!

Thurs ride moved to Sat
Hi all:
Turns out the team van will be out of commission tomorrow getting a new row of seats and upgraded seatbelts, so what I'd like to do is forego the Thurs evening team ride from Pine Hill Park in favor of a Saturday morning very easy 45 min to 1 hour, get acquainted with your team, ride. Meet at 10:30 am at the SH.
So, to recap, no team ride tomorrow (Thurs). Yes, team ride (easy 45 min to 1 hour) Sat. morning at 10:30 from the SH.
Jack and Carl encouraged to attend.
Reminders:
1) Racing license
2) Pre-reg for Dartmouth TT, Newhouse crit (April 16-17)
3) Pre-reg for Tour of the Dragons (Bennington) April 30-May 1.
Thanks!
Peter

Also, the Dartmouth TT (April 16) registration page is now live on bikereg, so please pre-register asap if you're planning on racing:
http://www.bikereg.com/events/register.asp?eventid=13165.
This page can also be found on the KMSCT website by clicking on the link in the race schedule. I'll post race-day logistics next week.

Plan for week of April 4
We have some great results already to report after this race-packed weekend. In Saturday's Charlestown Criterium, Brendan Rhim was 4th, Peter, Jr. was 6th, Ansel was 8 and Alden was 9th in the 15-18 year olds. In the Junior 10-12's Brook Leigh took an impressive 2nd place. And the old coach had a good race in the Master's 35 taking the win after lapping the field with two other racers.
On Sunday, Ansel succumbed to his flu and bowed out while Peter, Jr. had a nice podium 3rd with Brendan right behind him in 4th. Alden was 8th and Brook was again 2nd in the 10-12, getting back to back Lance Armstrong Race Series silver medals. Coach was third in the Master's 35.
Plan for week:
Monday: easy 45 min ride with Jack and Carl and anyone else who wants to join in at 5 pm from the SH. Please note that this is a perfect intro ride for any of our new racers.
Tuesday: Easy 1.25 hour ride followed by speed training. 5 pm Sunrise Mountain loop. As this will be the first ride for many of our racers, we'll do an easier 19 mile Rt 100, 4 and 100A Sunrise Mountain loop and the kids who have been training already will do 5-6 sprints at the end of the ride near the parking area at Sunrise Mountain ski area (now closed for skiing). For those kids just starting, their sprint training will begin next week. Meet at Sunrise parking lot at 5 pm. For older kids who want to do an extra early lap, meet at 3:45 pm and go ahead and do your lap before the ride starts. I most likely will not be there until 5 pm, so go ahead and ride without me. The extra loop is strictly for the older riders who have experience riding alone. Remember, single file at all times.
Wednesday: Endurance ride. 1.5-2 hours with hills. Leisurely pace in between climbs and everyone at their own pace on the climbs followed by regroup at the top of each climb. 4 pm at the SH
Thursday: Easy 1 hour ride from Pine Hill Park in Rutland. 5 pm. My van will leave Woodstock at 4 pm. Jack and Carl may come. Older kids who would like more mileage should ride ahead of time and then meet us at park at 5.
Friday: rest day
Saturday: For those not racing and can ride alone, do 1-1.5 hour ride. Older kids can do 2 hours plus.
Sunday: Tour of the Battenkill for Stockman, Peter, Jr., Ansel, Alden, Brendan and Brook. All others ride on your own 1.5-2 hours.
As for equipment, all riders should have their bikes ready to go by now. If not, please see Dan at the SH as soon as possible. 802-457-3377.
Please note: First official team race is the Dartmouth Time Trial on Saturday, April 16. The following day is the Charlestown Criterium. PLEASE PRE-REGISTER FOR THESE RACES BY CLICKING ON THE RACE LINK ON THE TEAM WEBSITE.
Once again, if you plan on racing, you'll need to purchase a USAC racing license. Please see the team website for the link.
Welcome to bike season!!
