Sat Stow 2x Loop - Brick

[teamkimball]

Who wants to do the Stow Loop? Corso wants to get in a brick but I am 50/50 on the run portion. Here is the plan:

7am start from Stow parking lot

* 2 Oak hill loops
* 20' min warm up
* 20' @ 95-100%FT or Z4/Z5 with 5' recovery
* 2x20' @ 85%FT or Z3 with 3' recovery
* remainder of ride at 75%FT or Z2
* Intervals are done at constant effort
* no acceleration on hills
* no blowing the group apart on the hills
* no waiting at the top of the hills
* again constant effort
* any regrouping is done during recovery
* bring fenders or ride in the back

Steve -
would love to jump on the back of this - partly due to fitness, the other part no fenders....
need to confirm the ealy morning activities with the youts.
In laymens' terms, looks like a 2-2.5 hr ride, yes?

[teamkimball]

yes... you should have no issues holding on from the back. You are always in great shape so we should have you pull.

morning is looking clear to join
lookng forward to it!

You do realize it is going to be 30 degrees out? and windy?

We are biking at 7:00 at my house in the basement for 2 hours with a run after

not as exciting though, no ice and snow or pebbles and sand hitting you in the face...

[teamkimball]

I heard that it would be 30 degrees.. I am so glad it is warming up.

Saturday forecast:
7am
21° F
Sunny

if it was 31 I might be in - but 21 after the thaw means definite ice. I don't want to be a candidate the 2009 Gold Brick...
may wait for a little warmer day.

don't wait if I'm not there at 0700

Well, if you go by Oak Hill Road and your frozen, we will be in the basement. Just watch out for the ICE on the driveway

[teamkimball]

FYI... I will be riding my Cross Bike

I'm with Wessell and Pattie, to cold for me. I willgo out maybe around noon when it is 40. I don't want the ice to bring me dowwwwwwn.

[Smudger]

Who is actually riding tomorrow? I only see Steve.

Don't really want to ride in these temps but I have too many kids things to do to ride later in the day.

[pwess]

I am out, too cold = ice. think it's just Steve...

[teamkimball]

Dave and I had a fun ride... It was a little cool but no ice at all. I hope the rest of you have a chance to get out today. It was fun.
