WEEKLY RUNDOWN

We're going to borrow a column from our friend David Muse, and incorporate a recap of the Tuesday/Thursday rides.

Tuesday was the traditional loop. Good weather and 15+ made for a good ride. The pace was relatively conservative for a Tuesday. Steve threw fuel to the fire on Tallahassee road, which set the tone for the remainder of the ride. Attacks on Eight-Mile road fractured the group and a final attack at the end of Eight-Mile left three to fly. Props to Michelle for surviving the rigmarole and Mitchell S. for riding on the rivot.

Thursday we upped the anty and rode the Sasser-Tallahassee loop. After a few miles of inconsistency, the group as a whole settled in to a steady (fast) pace. We hit Tallahassee road at 7:05 and rode through the roughest section at 25+mph. Fun and games aside, Gillionville was reserved for "dumping the tank". Eight good miles of attacks and heavy effort got the goods out of everyone. Damn that red light!

Jello-legs + salt rings = good week

Next Thursday will hopefully bring the first of several Shake-Down rides, which will include roughly 9miles of dirt road. The route will be reconed this weekend. If the conditions and mileage are good . . . it's on.
