Brooklyn Ride!!!

[Bklynmom]

CT sounds nice - good weather Sunday.

This Wednesday I am thinking of doing a longer ride -- 40 miles - maybe to Central park or the Rockaways, if either of you are interested. I would like to make it a quick ride if possible - I am trying to keep my speed up over longer distances.

Definitely interested in a weekend ride in our park

Wednesday I have a dentist appointment.

I'm gonna have to make a goal of "Fast by 35" or something... I rode 40 miles in hilly CT this weekend, and while I was somewhat proud that I was able to do it at all, I was truly bummed out by my pokiness.

I so want to meet up with you ladies for a jaunt! Maybe this coming week?

This weekend has me in Montauk for a sprint length tri... otherwise you'd see me in the park! Any mid/late week days good for y'all?

[rij73]

Ooh! Good luck in the tri!

Almost every day except Wednesday can work for a ride for me. I'm a piano teacher, so there are gaps in my schedule every day. How about you propose two or three possible times, and we can all try to find something that works.

Today I did two laps at an average speed of 16.3. That was the fastest I've done yet. Tomorrow or Saturday I want to try sustaining that speed for four laps.

Great average speed Rachel - impressive

Today I did hill repeats in a heavy gear in central park - trying to work on building power.

I could do a ride in PP next Thursday morning (Oct. 4th can you believe it!) - will that work for you two?

If you see a bunch of cyclists going into Montauk, chances are it is the Massapqua Park Bike Club riding thier Ancient Mariner. This is tomorrow, Saturday. We are riding from Massapequa Park to Montauk taking the 7:30pm train back. This will be my second century, but more of a social ride

I could do Thursday morning for sure. I might have a student at 11:30, but definitely free until then.

Thursday works for me too.

I can drop off my son at school and head to the park around 9AM.

Weather looks good too.

Sounds great! Can you come down at meet me at the 3rd Street entrance? I'll be there at 9...

Chick, where are you? Can you make it then?

[Bklynmom]

See you at 9 AM tomorrow at 3 Rd st.- hope to see chick too.

I have some cool new strenth building thing I should do - basically you go around the park in a progressively harder gear. I can do it after we ride, or we can do it together. I am trying to do more focused rides.

Today is intervals as soon as the sun comes out!

Yesterday I had a great ride with Felix, and I rode with an injured pro rider and learned lots of good stuff.

[rij73]

Cool! I'll try the progressive gears thing with you... I need to get stronger!

[ChickWithBrains]

I'm here!!

Grrroooaaannn!!! I think I can get my lazy butt out of bed by 9...

Got back from the tri, then had to work long hours the last few days. But I am TOTALLY there!!! 3rd street entrance it is. I'll be there with bells on!

[rij73]

Hooray! See you both there... 9am tomorrow.

[ChickWithBrains]

Let's do it again, ladies!!! Thanks for the great ride.

[rij73]

Woo-hoo! That was fun indeed...
