Weekend plans

Sunday:




KMS Team Varsity ride: We'll be doing a 3-4 hour ride on Sunday from Woodstock including Rochester Gap and some other major climbs as well. Bring money for lunch stop at cafe in Rochester. Leave at 10:30 from the SH.



Also on Sunday, Andy Townley will be leading a kids' mt. bike ride at Pine Hill Park. Here's the info:



Hey guys,



We had a great Thurs night ride at Pine Hill Park in Rutland last night!



I'm trying to get a group of dads (moms too if they want to) and kids over there on Sunday afternoon for a little Father's Day ride. I'm thinking we could have a nice ride with the kids, try to ride all the cool bridges, check out the views, and pack a few drinks and snacks to keep them happy. Then afterward maybe we could stop for a late lunch / early dinner. If it's nice out, which it is expected to be, we could stop at Long Trail and eat out on the porch by the river, unless someone knows of a better option.



Let me know if you're up for this or forward to whoever I've missed. Once I know who's in, we can plan where to meet up, etc. My contact is: andy.townley@gmail.com.



For anyone who hasn't been over there, it is really a phenomenal mountain bike park and definitely manageable for kids. The quality of the trails and all of the features that they have built is really unbelievable.

Plan for the week

Big congrats to many members of the KMS team for their excellent performances at the Whiteface Road Race and the Saranac Lake Criterium this past weekend. We had some big wins for Erin in the road race, Ansel in the criterium, Brendan in the mens Cat 3/4 race (!) and a nice podium finish for Stockman in the road race (he's unofficially NY state crit champ as well), Eli killed it in the 10-12's and, last but not least, we had a top-3 sweep in the kids' race with Carl Gebhardt, Ayden Schain and Jack Watson taking it to the massive kids' field in the pouring rain in the crit!




Here are the results for the road race (note great pics of Ansel and Erin!):

For this week:



Tonight: usual kids' ride at 5.



Tuesday: Track training race. Van leaves at 4:30. Bring money for pizza.



Wed: usual dirt road ride from the SH at 5:15 (leave by 5:30 sharp).



Thursday: Mt. bike night is Pine Hill Park in Rutland. Plan to go in the van as there's plenty of room with the bikes in the trailer. Meet at SH at 5 pm, leave by 5:10 sharp, riding at 6 ish, back to Woodstock by 8:30ish.



Friday: TSR at 8 am from the SH. ALL ARE WELCOME, EVEN THE LITTLE KIDS NOW THAT SCHOOL'S OUT. COME CHECK OUT THE ONLY WEEKLY RIDE IN VT THAT GOES EVERY FRIDAY OF THE YEAR, REGARDLESS OF WEATHER (AND WE MEAN REGARDLESS!)



Sunday: Challenging 3-4 hour hilly ride from the SH at 10:30 am. We'll be breaking Brendan's legs to get him ready for Nationals, so this will be an intense ride from start to finish.
