It wasn't until we actually started pedaling that the clouds cleared up. But, what an amazing night it turned out to be. We had about 20 people between both groups. Steve and Tim led out the A GROUP, while I rode with the B GROUP. Both groups were awesome!
The A GROUP ended up with 39 miles and averaged 19mph. Fast pace lines, town line sprints and speedy climbs littered the ride. Great job to everyone!
On the B GROUP ride, we had our share of sprints and climbs. The ladies made mince meat out of the guys on a couple climbs and one of the town line sprints. Nice job, ladies! Bottom line...this ride was a blast!
Here's the recap of the B GROUP ride:
Thanks again to everyone that showed up & we'll see everyone next week.

GROUP RIDE: Monday June 14th 2010
Hey Everyone!
I hope that you all are having a great weekend. This past week has been a tough one for road rides since there has been a ton of rain. However, the woods and trails were great. So, I'm sure you managed to get out and keep those legs moving. Lucky for us, the weather for this week looks much better and Monday is going to be perfect for a ride.
Last week, we had another good size group with a variety of fitness and experience levels. Since the group has been consistently growing, we are going to start posting 2 rides every Monday. One will be an "A" group with a faster pace and some longer, steeper climbs. The second ride will be a "B" group with a slower pace and less climbing.
Here are the routes:
We will determine the groups prior to leaving the shop and make sure that everyone knows the route they will be taking. Both groups will start together and stay together for the first 7.5 miles. The A GROUP will split off, going left on Issac Bradway Rd. and the B GROUP will continue going south on Somers Road.
Please remember that we should all be looking out for each other on these rides! If anyone has any mechanical issues during the ride (dropped chain, flats, etc.) the whole group should stop, fix the issue and continue...AS A GROUP. These rides are meant to be fun! Let's make sure it stays that way.
See everyone there!

RIDE RECAP: June 9th 2010 Group Ride
• ROBINSON STATE PARK • MOUNTAIN BIKE RIDE •
As you can tell, the weather didn't stop us from heading into the woods for one of the best mountain bike rides I've been on in a while! It was wet, muddy, slippery and FAST as hell! Wheels were sliding out, the roots were attacking like they were alive and if it weren't for the sun setting on us, we could have been out for the whole day.
All that being said, a little rain isn't going to scare us away from getting into the woods on these Wednesday night group rides. If the ride is going to be canceled due to inclement weather, we'll let everyone know via email and this blog. So, hopefully we'll see everyone next time...RAIN or SHINE!
Oh yeah...and here's our route:

RIDE RECAP: June 7th 2010 Group Ride
Hi Everyone!
Last night's ride was great! Although we had to split into two groups and there were a couple flats, everything worked out and there were nothing but smiles in the parking lot after the ride.
I'm not going to be posting a recap on the ride since my route ended up very differently from the other 2 groups. Either way, the first group completed the loop that was posted while the second group avoided the hills, but still ended up at the 33 mile mark. Great riding from both groups.
I can't thank everyone enough for showing their support for our group rides. We have been continuously growing in numbers week after week. It's awesome! If the momentum keeps up, we may have to split into 2 groups every Monday. I hope that's the case!
Thanks again to everyone who showed up & we'll see you all at next week's ride.
