Recovery Day.. easy commute

Not racing this weekend, except for maybe Wells Ave, if it isn't too hot. Tomorrow promises to be a day of extremely high intensity, judging from the instructions received from Coach. Intervals at 200% FT.. Yikes.. with recovery intervals in between at FT! Who wants to come along? Leaving the house early. Would love to see a regular Saturday morning ride near my house. We meet at the Holy Apostles Church every Tues and Thurs night.. Why not Saturdays? Who wants to go tomorrow at 7:00? It's on route 12 in Cranston, intersection of Pippin Orchard Road. On that note, why isn't there a training race on the roads which surround the Scituate reservoir? That used to be a regular road course, I believe.. Route 116 to route 12 to route 14, back to route 116. Challenging triangle of about 10-12 miles.. Why don't we just show up and do it every Tuesday night? Something to plan for next year? Just need permission from the Town of Scituate.. I'll ask Todd Scheske how he arranges all the training races for the Genesee Valley Cycling Club. They've been doing it week after week for about 25 years, on road courses all over the greater Rochester area. We seriously lack any training ROAD RACES in the New England area. Nothing but crits, which do not help one to become a better road racer, IMHO.

Murat,
During the summer there is a ride from the Rt. 95 exit 7 Park & Ride lot (New London Turnpike exit). It tends to be 60-70 miles and starts @ 0800.

After the racing season there is a Sat. ride starting @ the Scituate Gazebo on 116. Think it starts @ 0900 and is mostly AFD guys.

Gonna try to make the ride tomorrow morning. Sounds like you have some serious intervals to do, but if interested give me a call this evening, 864-7635.

Thank you Larry. Sorry I missed you Saturday. I got up, saw the wet roads and went back to bed.
