Thursday ride anyone?

[John D]

Can't ride Friday, thinking of doing a Thursday ride instead. Assuming the roads and dewpoint are agreeable (I'll post a yes/no by 5:30am, regardless), I plan to leave the Fairfield Bucky's at 6:00am and follow the usual Sunday route out to Mattick's and back.

Speed will be my usual steady B/C pace

Any takers?

I'm in! Roads were fine this morning on the hills ride.

Roads look OK. See you at 6:00.

[JohnT]

Thanks for setting that up John.

Let me know if you decide to do this again.

I agree. If I'd have known in time about a Thursday ride, I definitely would have joined you.
Instead, I put on my running shoes and pretended to jog around Beacon Hill park, while I hoped no one I know saw me. The club is getting big enough almost for a scheduled ride every day. I am not sure what is stopping us from having a regularly scheduled Thursday ride but maybe we want to institute one. Since I'm now on the board of Tripleshot I have way more power in instituting changes (actually I have no idea how much power I have but I am sure I'll find out real soon). But if people are supportive of a regularly scheduled Thursday ride or any other ideas about ride schedules and so on, let me know, and I'll float them at the next board meeting.

I really hope you weren't doing anything silly like running while wearing tripleshot kit! Now wearing TS kit while running I am told is almost as bad as getting caught doing any number of other silly or illegal things in TS kit!

There has been a lot of chatter about a regularly scheduled and posted Thursday ride. Do folks want it to be just a ride or do people want something more specific for training? Like maybe speed in the form of self paced intervals at the University circle or Beacon Hill? A progression as the weeks pass? We have long rides, tempo rides, hills, a bit of speed on Tuesdays. Maybe a more structured interval workout? Maybe get some ideas from Lister and Peter L?

I think a Thursday ride is a great idea, and I support asking Peter and Lister for their input. Personally, I like the idea of doing something in the UVIC circle. But maybe that's too similar to Tuesday? Regardless, the more rides the better!

[mfarnham]

Thursdays are good for me. I'd support the idea of something different than the rides on other days. I think interval practice (TTT?) could be good, but am open to suggestions!

So, is anyone interested in a Thursday ride on December 19th? Sunday Route to Mattick's Farm and return? I might not be at the start but would be keen to join up on the way.

OK, Fairfield Starbucks at 6am? Don't make me go alone.
