TTT training, Thurs am, 6 at pareto, then intervals at UVic

[Rolf]

Sorry I can't take part in any - ahem - size comparisons with rival clubs, but I do hope to be out tomorrow morning for some laps of Ring Road.

Sounds like fun Lister but we are out of town the weekend of the race...

Hi Lister,
I'm up for TTT practice 6:00am June 29th. Let me know where to meet and I'll be there.

[Lister Farrar]

Rolf, Sig, how about Pareto at 6, then uvic? Shall we try with aero bars?

[Rolf]

Oh Jesus. If it's just you two, I'm bringing a motorcycle.

[wonger]

If I was in town I'd be all over this. Unfortunately someone has to go to France and Italy this summer - may as well be me.

[Lister Farrar]

Oh Jesus. If it's just you two, I'm bringing a motorcycle.

You'll be fine Rolf. Worst case, we get some great motor pace training behind Sig.

I had a bunch of fun training the TTT with Kristin, Michelle and Paula this morning. Thanks ladies and Lister! I'd love to get on a team for Comox. 50+ women, where are you?

[Lister Farrar]

Thursday the U19 boys are coming to chase you 40 and 50+ riders. Who's in for tomorrow at 6 am? Women 40, 50+ riding Friday am.

What do you think, those interested in ttt, of riding the Friday route full distance as a ttt to see how the intervals translate to full distance? Each team time yourselves.

[Lister Farrar]

Two of the junior boys would like to do some ttt intervals Saturday at 10, Chris Macleod and Chris hart. But their two teammates are away. Are their two Tsr's interested in 4 x 8-10 minutes hard? Likely we'll be doing it on Dallas if its not too busy, Beach if it is.

The two Chris's are around 26:30 at Sidney tt if that helps to tell how fast they are. I'm cooked from chasing the 50+ dudes this am and the u15s tonight, so can only sit on. . Aero bars encouraged but not required.

[Lister Farrar]

Yet another chance to get fast!

The women's 40+ and men's 50+ teams are training tomorrow, just before the regular Sunday ride. We're meeting at 7 and doing some fast bits, then some will join the ride at matticks, while others head home. If anyone wants to join us, we'll gladly put ad hoc teams together and chase each other.

You might even get the bug and join us next weekend in Comox. There's a club standings based on every finisher in the two races. 10 pts for a win , down to 1'for every finisher; 40 for a ttt win, 4 for for finishing. Come help us win what I hope will be an annual feature of the tt and ttt weekend. Mid island Velo is recruiting like crazy. Will we beat them?

PS Logistics. Most of us are camping so its cheap. But lots of hotel space that weekend. Also you could even just come for one of the days.

PPS How is it we don't have a men's 40+ team?!

Some great training happening these last couple of weeks. Thanks to everyone who has jumped in.
