Ride Tonight: Eric is going to ride this evening (Thursday, 7/12). If anyone would like to join. Starting from Belton and Schrimper at 6 PM. The plan is to ride the 31 mile loop through Elm City, North Wilson and around the reservoir. Please RSVP in the blog. Here is the route.Morning Rides: We are still riding in the mornings at 5:45 but as daylight is starting later and later, that time may change to 6 AM soon. The morning ride lasts less than an hour.
Duke Tri Course: Also, for the Duke Tri participants, I am going to do another pre-ride of the course on Saturday, July 21. The overlook parking lot and facilities open at 8. I will plan to get there with the hope of starting the ride at 8:15. Please let me know if you would like to join. I have maps and turn guides so everyone will be able to ride at their own pace and meet back at the overlook. - Eric

Did they actually fix the transition on to the bridge?!!!! No more bunny hopping or snake bite flats?!?! What shall we do? How can we ride in comfort...
ReplyDeleteI can't make it on the 21st. Are you planning to also ride it in August? I would like to go the next time.
ReplyDeleteI am planning to ride at least once in August. Maybe the 11th and then again on the 25th if I can swing it. I would like to get three more rides in on the course if possible.
ReplyDeleteOne other comment on the new pavement on Bend of the River and Barnes Chapel Roads - it is a funny sound/feeling. It sounds like you have a flat (because your tire sort of sticks to the new asphalt) and it feels like you have a flat (because of the increased drag as you stick or even sink into the asphalt a little). Oh, and the transition at the bridges is better...but still a pretty good bump.
ReplyDeleteI would like to go again too!! Im not sure yet about the 21'st but would like to be in on the planning for August. :}
ReplyDeleteseems like we should be able to get a big group for august. we should get the runners to go as well. lets pick a date, and get it on our calendars
ReplyDeleteI rode that stretch tonight for the first time since the repairs, what an improvement!
