Little Red Riding Hood-Utah

[jobob]

I have been riding TWO 24 mile rides per week and killing myself. Now that I know that it is okay to ride once, I should be in good shape.
I REALLY appreciate your advice

Err, except that wasn't really my advice.

Maybe I soft-pedaled the concept of doing more that one ride a week. I didn't say it was OK to only do just one ride per week.

I'll clarify: You really really really need to do more than one ride a week. If you're killing yourself right now doing two 24 mile rides per week, then you should consider doing three rides per week, one at the long distance, and two more at 5 to 10 miles.

You need to build up your stamina, and you'll really be doing yourself a disservice if you only do one ride per week.

I'm sure those of you registered got the flier but incase it hasn't arrived yet, looks like the LRRH gang is planning a huge dinner bash at the Bowery Park in Wellsville on Friday June 1st. The dinner is free for riders. If I can find reasonably priced accomodations (hopefully free through friend of a friend of a friend) than I will be up there on Friday. Otherwise, I'll drive up early Saturday.

I got the card in the mail last week. I like the wolf picture on it

Sounds like a lot of fun and I may even to the 15 mile Friday night ride. I will have to see what the others in my travelling group want to do.

AK, you aren't going??

I am riding the 70 mile option (advertised as a bit less, but after 65 miles, one does feel it ) and would like to know who else is going that distance?

I, too, will be at the park Friday night. Let's meet up!

Current forcast for next Saturday, right from the National Weather Service:

Friday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 89.

Friday Night: Mostly clear, with a low around 51.

Saturday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 92.

Okie Dokie, I have gone through the posts on Little Red for Saturday and come up with this list of all team estrogen ladies who are going. Feel free to cut and paste and add the # of miles that you are signed up for, whether you will be there Friday night, and where you are coming from.

Does anyone have a plan as to how we can meet up? Wear underpants on our heads or something amazing like that so we can recognize one another?!! Perhaps style our hair with chamois butter ?

YEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! Starting to get excited.

Don't forget Miss Yellow!

Unfortunately, you're going to have to removed Jobob and TrekHawk from the list. TrekHawk's hubby had some kind of work committment come up (and she w/o computer right now) and Jobob had family affairs to deal with so she's had to scale back in a few places. Boo-hoo!

Yellow and I will probably be chauffered up from SLC by Bubba early in the morning. I'd like to get on the road a bit earlier than last year's disorganized start.

13(?). BikeDutchess -- signed up for 68 miles but actual distance will depend on the status of my daughter's hip injury (she's riding with me too -- trying to get her healthy before then)

Thanks for the updates - I will keep them coming. Feel free to cut and paste this list and make changes to your name or add yourself.

If you would like to start earlier than the 8:00 (I am going off of memory here) time, let us know that as well.
