TRY THIS ON YOUR NEXT RIDE Generate a Great Group If early-season group rides haven't begun in your area, it won't be too much longer. These rides are where we meet friends, do conditioning miles and test our sprint for road signs. They're the basis of cycling culture. There's one catch: To enjoy a group ride, you have to stay with the group! It's no fun to hang on for 30 minutes only to get shelled on the first hill and spend the rest of the miles alone. But if you're a stronger rider, it's tedious to pedal slowly just to keep everyone together. Here are some pointers for group rides, the goals being (a) no one gets dropped, and (b) everyone has fun. * Find the right group. Ideally, it won't be more than 15% too fast or too slow for your present fitness. A big group may need to be split into two or three smaller ones to accommodate everyone. Pro teams routinely do this in early season training. The faster group contains riders preparing for spring classics; the slower one is looking at races later in the season. * Follow the leader. Every group needs a rider who sets the rules and politely sees that they're followed. Here's a key one: "No one will be dropped except on hills, and then we'll ride easy till everyone is back on." * Designate the tow trucks. The strongest riders should pull the group together if it splits. For instance, the group hits a headwind and three riders are dangling at 50 meters. The group slows and two strong guys drop back to tow the dropped riders into contact. * Do more work. If you're a relatively strong rider, get a good workout by spending more time at the front, which gives others a helpful draft. Or, ride to the side of the group in the wind instead of drafting. Push weaker riders up a tough hill with a helping hand on the small of their back. (Ask first if it's okay.) * Do less work. If you're concerned about the ride's speed or distance, don't pull at the front. If you do, take very short turns. Get maximum draft. Climb at your own pace on hills. You don't have to go anaerobic trying to stay in contact when you know the group will slow or provide a tow. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Two weeks ago four riders converged on Caribou Coffee. Chatting occurred. Then some more riding. We'll do that again. Meet 8:30AM @ Caribou Coffee @ Minnesota Ave...and see what transpires from there. Don't forget the first membership meeting of the year later on Saturday. Come to Zbornik Hall @ USF and enjoy cyclists, popcorn, rootbeer and the Triplettes of Belleville. Renew your FAB membership while you're there. Roger Ebert says this about the Triplettes of Belelville - "The Triplets of Belleville" will have you walking out of the theater with a goofy damn grin on your face, wondering what just happened to you. To call it weird would be a cowardly evasion. It is creepy, eccentric, eerie, flaky, freaky, funky, grotesque, inscrutable, kinky, kooky, magical, oddball, spooky, uncanny, uncouth and unearthly. Especially uncouth. What I did was, I typed the word "weird" and when that wholly failed to evoke the feelings the film stirred in me, I turned to the thesaurus and it suggested the above substitutes -- and none of them do the trick, either." http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20031226/REVIEWS/312260303/1023 -- --- ? mytzpyk is Michael Christensen ? e-mail to mytzpyk at yahoo.com ?

I'm acting as the Training Ride Coordinator / Master of Pain for Bike MS - Pedal the Plains. In this role it is my duty to recruit a few people to put on the training rides. I did the Sioux Falls one last year and it's pretty easy. I'm looking for someone to step up and do one for this year. It should be on a Saturday between June 15th and the end of July. Please contact me using email address twelve_volt_mango at yahoo.com if you are willing to take on this charitable event. I've had several say they'd be interested in riding with Team Fab this year. Great! Contact The Janey at the local MS Society to get your butt on the team roster. As advertised, this ride is super well supported (food/water every 8 to 10 miles) and the route doesn't get any flatter than this year's. I'd be willing to help you train or even ride with you if you so desire. You just need to speak up and commit. Again, contact me if you're interested. That is all. ~Snakebite~ --------------------------------- Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile.
