  Team Evergreen Racing Weekly News - Thursday April 19th, 2007

  
   Team News      (email contact Ted Benning)  
 

  • Welcome to the TER weekly news.  This email news goes out to all team members early Thursday mornings.

  
   Hill Climb / Training Rides       (email contact Robin Waterman)  
 

  • Hill Climb / Training Ride - Saturday, April 21/Sunday, April 22nd.   (directions)

    The Saturday ride is on. Meet the usual Morrison/Rooney Rd spot, ready to group up and discuss the route by 9am.
    Also, be prepared for a longer ride-- 4 or 4.5 hours. (All routes will allow anyone to turn back early, however, if necessary.) Depending on weather and temps, we could ride up Golden Gate Canyon or up to Central City, or, if the majority prefer a lower route, we could take that.
     

  • Sunday April 22nd training ride option: - For any TER members who are interested we will meet at the Morrison/Rooney Rd. rally pt, ready to ride by 8:45am. We will then ride over to Deer Creek Canyon and meet up with the TE ride up to the top of High Grade Rd. From there, we could either ride with TE back to their start (Deer Creek Canyon Rd.) and then back to Morrison, or ride directly back to Morrison via Conifer and S. Turkey Creek.  If you are interested, please email Robin to let her know you plan to be there.

  • Mid-week interval training -  Next week this training will take place on Tuesday, April 24, to see if this is a better day for a larger number of interested in TER members. Meet at the Morrison rally pt ready to ride by 4:40, or meet at the Lookout Mt. Pillars by 5:20pm.

    (NOTE: Some TER members have expressed that Wed. is better, while others say Tues. is better, so the next few weeks will be an experiment that will help establish the official mid-week training day for the rest of the season. Please email any thoughts to robin.waterman@gmail.com).
