Tripleshot Cycling

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.

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!

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.
