Team in Training

[Ivy Goldberg]

I'm also a TNT'er in NY and plan to do the Tucson century ride in November. This has very special meaning to me as I lost my mom to leukemia last year. This ride is to honor her memory. It's been no easy task getting far back into shape but it feels both painful and delicious. If anyone is doing this ride, let me know.

Also, I wouldn't turn down $ if you are so inclined: catnipt@optonline.net and I'll respond.

I am a newbie from the Lincoln area that would be interested in this wonderful cause. I am currently looking for a new road bike, I currently ride a Giant MTN bike. Could you direct me to more information on the Sacramento Chapter?

I could really use the help in the form of basic bike maintenance, nutrition for endurance training and support from someone other then my Fiance. He leaves me in the dust all the time!

Thanks,
Melody

Welcome Melody.....Our TNT season is basically done, but alot of people are still riding together. I have to admit it's nice not getting up at the butt crack of dawn for a team ride!!!! But I still do some minor stuff and spin at the gym.
We'd love to have you on the team. They'll start doing informational meetings in Dec and Jan, then we'll start riding the end of Jan and beginning of Feb.

We had a few folks on mtn and comfort/hybrid bikes, so don't feel like you have to get a new bike. The coaches also help out with bike fit, and they do a general inspection on the bike.

A few of us are going to do a ride in Woodland in September. It's for Yolo County Habitat for Humanity. It's a flat 43 miles. If you're interested PM me.

If that day turns out really hot, I highly recommend the Monticello Freeze at Steady Eddy's coffee/juice bar in Winters - a blended mocha with dark chocolate. Has worked really well the last two weekends as a nice cool break before heading for home (at least that's MY excuse ).

Well, after reading all these posts, here is my reply. Team in training is awesome !! I did Cyclefest in West Palm Beach last October. Plan to get back into it and do Tahoe in '07. I , too, found the training a little simplistic. Basically just ride, ride, ride, increasing your distance each time. The comradery was good when you got discouraged though. My coach was great, my mentor not so much. But a lady mentor took me under her wing and we still email each other. I think women should mentor women; we know what our needs are. Men do not understand.
