    oooh! more loops!

    I am going to have to try the Pi loop!

    I felt like a bit of a jerk last night on the women's ride. I went with a 16-18mph group and I had a lot of trouble staying at their pace -- especially going uphill. :-( I might try the 18+ group sometime, but as long as it is a no-drop ride, I don't know that it would be ok. I may also have to check out more CRW stuff - since they allow dropping usually.

    Bunny - don't worry about the ride last night. They are meant to be for everyone, and most of the leaders and riders are pretty patient. Just be sure to be fair to yourself and other riders when you are selecting your group.

    FYI - the 18+ group IS a drop ride, so you need to know where you are going on that one. They are currently trying pretty hard to set a record, and are averaging somewhere between 20 and 21 mph on that particular ride

    Hope you had fun! I was recovering from fillings and couldn't drink anything, so did a short ride instead...

    Hey Cathy,
    I would love to learn some more loops from you. Let me know when you want to take an easy spin some evening and I can join you!
    Cheers,

    Pata --

    On vacation this week, so doing A LOT of miles. Next week will be recovery, so may be a good time to do a ride. I have an NEBC BOD meeting on Monday and the TT on Weds, so either Tues or Thurs would work best.

    Pata and I had a great ride last Friday. It's nice to find someone that I can ride with and not feel too slow or too fast.
