The Horsey is tandem friendly with its rolling hills and well maintained roads.

Saturday April 5th - First Team Ride

Folks,

Yes, once again I am leading DRS team rides. This one starts from the Orlando Gardens Trailhead of Grant's Trail at 10:30 am. We ride to Kaldis, eat, and then back to the start. Its a very easy 20 miles.

So to make it interesting I plan to ride out to the ride, and back afterwards. Zavisa has offered to lead the after group over to Reavis Barracks. I am looking for company to actually get some work for my legs. Let me know if you want to join me. You can also invite who you want for the easy ride too.

Saturday and Sunday March 29-30th Rides

Folks,

I don't know how many of you are still riding. Guess we will find out how trained everyone is when the Blue Ridge Roll's Around.

Saturday I will hit the hils. At this point I think I will join John for the ride described below that he sent me:

Leaving at 9 AM with a choice of two rides.
DEFIANCE to AUGUSTA which is a pleasant, scenic, and hilly 39 mile ride.Rolling Hills
2 - Great Downhills - 3 Good Climbs (2,200 vertical feet). Cuesheet attached. ORJust ride
on the Katy Trail if you don't want hills. Hopefully the recent floodsdidn't damage the
Trail.For either ride park in the Katy Trail Parking Lot along Highway 94 in Defiance.

I can send the cue sheet if anyone wants it. Its better to just all ride together.

Sunday I am planning to join with the Meetup St. Louis for their Pizza ride. The link to the ride description is http://bike.meetup.com/289/calendar/7606590/ The meet info is below:
If it looks like bad weather wise I am bailing for spinning at the J

3S3M update

All,

We have a family conflict the same weekend as 3s3m, so our family will not be going this year. I still have 6 rooms held for folks to reserve if they want. They have to be reserved by 4/10/08 or else they will be released. If interested, let me know and I'll give you the details.

I'm still looking forward to eventually conquering Lookout Mountain, but it just won't be this year.

Ride Sunday March 23

All,
Last Sunday, I seemed to have pulled my back a bit. The chiro says nothing too too strenuous for a couple of weeks and I should be as good as before (no comments). So....I'd like to ride this Sunday, but nothing too strenuous. If strenuous, will have to just slack in the back....but I'm used to that.
Also, depending on weather forecast, can either spin beforehand or not.
Let me know your thoughts.
Thanks.

Weekend Rides March 15th & 16th

Folks,

Here is the weekends weather forecast:

Saturday: A steady rain in the morning. Showers continuing in the afternoon. High around 45F. Winds N at 15 to 25 mph. Chance of rain 80%.

Sunday: Partly cloudy. Highs in the upper 40s and lows in the low 40s.

Saturday doesn't look all that good, and I have to been in Synogogue anyways for a Bat Mitvah. I do plan to spin schedule permitting at the J at 8:30 am.

That leaves Sunday for getting some hill training outside. I can think of two options enhancing Mike's and My Kirkwood loop. The other option starting out from Kaldis in the valley and
hitting some of the hills out there. Either way starting after 10 am works good for me. If your interested let me know which is your preference.

We have been bad, and haven't ridden much on Wednesday night since the first week in January. So with this weather report for Wednesday night:

Wednesday: Sunny skies. High near 65F. Winds SSW at 10 to 15 mph

So lets start out Daylight Savings Time with style, and get back in the habbit this Wednesday night. We leave from my house at 6:15 pm, and lets go back to road bikes.
