What Changed - Everything...

 You DO NOT have to be doing the century to go on any of these rides. Each week the ride will increase by 5 miles or so. By the time all training rides are completed I’m sure we will be able to do an easy 100 on a flat course, in Maryland, at a B pace. We may take turns at the front, this way you can enjoy the wind in your face and be the first to smell the roses or the road kill.

I know we did 51 miles last week due to the flooding on Dune road so, this week we’ll do 50 miles with some rollers here and there. I probably can’t work the wind as well as last week but there will be enough turns to give you a change of wind direction. The average will come in around 15 mph with road speeds between 15 & 17 mph. Faster riders will have their spots as well. The rest of the group will hang with me and the sweep. You are not obligated to do this; you can hang back with me and do a nice steady pace. No one gets left behind. 

 
The plan for the upcoming weeks will be around 55, 60, 65, 70, and 65. This schedule will enable you do the 100 with no problems. If you personally feel you need to ride more than 70 miles that can be arranged also.

We will go to Manorville with one food stop at McDonalds or the bagel place and another pee stop along the way. I really suggest you bring 2 bottles filled with G2, Gatorade, Powerade or something with electrolytes in it.

Please check the ride calendar for any weather, or last minute cancellations which will be posted no later than 7:30AM if necessary. My cell number is 631.484.3490; call anytime if you have questions about this ride or need directions to the start.
