CTS Rides

[Susan126]

It’s raining right now in Bonney Lake. A very wet and gray day but tomorrow and the rest of this week look sunny and dry. So my plan is to ride after work on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday all this week.

The next CATS ride I will be attending will be the April 25th ride starting from Gene Coulon Park and also the May 8th Auburn Carbonado ride. The ride on May 1st in Arlington is too far north for me to drive just for a ride. I will do one of my local rides on that weekend or perhaps I will do the May Day Metric. It starts and finishes at Phil's South Side Cyclery in Federal Way.

The CATS training rides are a wonderful plan for building a rider up for the big rides. The only thing you need to add are your weekday rides. The CATS ride is your big long ride for the week but you should also include two to three short weekday rides in between the long weekend rides. For example, my plan is to ride twice or three times during the weekday. Anywhere from 20-40 miles and then do the CATS ride on the weekend. I believe this will sufficiently prepare you for your big ride.

I may be back from Spokane in time for the Daffodil ride on Sunday. But I think I will start riding a little earlier than I had planned.
