Training
Schedule:
NOTICE:
Important changes to times and dates:
Wednesday
Hill repeats, (starting March 28, 5:20pm at the Lookout Mt.
Pillars):
There are
now 2 places where TER members can meet for a warm-up ride over
to Lookout Mt:
1. Morrison/Rooney Rd (across from the Conoco): Leaving at
4:45pm.
2. Drake Middle School, one block west of Ward on 52nd: Leaving
at 4:45pm.
Every
Wednesday: 5:30- 6:30pm, hill repeats. (Location will vary.
Please read the TER Blast e–newsletter for information.)
Brief discussion of training format at 5:20pm. Be prepared to
start riding at 5:30! If you are late, just start riding, and
re-group with us on the way down.
*Location
for March 28- April 25, meet at the parking lot at the start of
Lookout Mt (ie, at the Pillars).
NOTE: For
those who are able, meet at the Morrison Rd/Rooney Rd (across
from the Conoco) at 4:45pm and ride to Lookout Mt. from there
for a warm-up. Others may also choose to meet at different
locations and ride to the start in order to get a warm-up in. At
this point, there is no designated ride leader for this warm-up,
though, so head over to Lookout with whoever is there by 4:45pm.
Weekend
training*:
March: Join
TER for the base-miles training rides every Saturday at Morrison
Rd/Rooney Rd. Ride leaves at 9am and finishes at approx.
12:30pm.
April & May
Start time:
9 am (not 10am). Locations will vary between 2 or 3 starting
points, so look to the weekly TER Blast (e-newsletter) for
details.
June & July
start time: TBD.
*Note: Since
this series is a new idea, I am open to modifying the approach,
depending on feedback from participants. So please give me your
feedback.
Volunteer
Opportunity!
As you all know, every TER member is obligated to volunteer to
help support the efforts of TER and TE. Therefore, please let me
know if you are interested in volunteering to help me lead any
of these training rides.
