Flanders Road Repeats Tuesday 3/11

Eves and I are planning to do some repeats at Flanders Road tomorrow 3/11/08

He has a workout that requires 2 sets of 3 reps of four-minute efforts

Flanders takes me about 3 minutes at full tilt when I've got July fitness. So it should fit his plan nicely considering March fitness levels.

I might not be able to do 6 hard repeats but I might as well try. I'll be doing power climbs and Todd will be trying to spin. Anyone who joins us can do the hill at their own intensity/pace.

Plan is to meet at the Picadilly Pub sometime around 3:30-3:45. I can't commit to a time before that because I never know when I'll be done at work but I should be able to make it by 345 at the latest.
Six repeats with 3 minute recoveries in between and a 10 minute rest after 3 should take about an hour plus a little warm-up and cool-down means we should be able to have a beer at the Pic by 5:15

Park in the back part of the lot on the far side of the fence.

Unless there is another Ice Road Truckers marathon on tv I may be able to make it.

Michael, I already agreed to do the "tour de chaug" with a friend tomorrow. It's his first ride of the year so I can't subject him to hill repeats. That workout sounds nice, especially the recovery drinks, is this something you meet up for weekly?

Bummer... I've started thinking about going down there, but the earliest I can make it tomorrow is probably 5. And like hell am I going to start a workout while you guys are pouring recovery beverages... Next time.

Probably not weekly but I get over there frequently for at least a couple of reps in the course of a ride.

If people are interested we can try to make this a semi-regular workout.

After gauging my fitness yesterday, I will be doing this workout again next week and probably a few more times in the following weeks.
PJ and Rich, If you want to join in the fun, you can pick the day. I can do Monday or Tuesday and possibly Thursday.

I'll be there in the future as well since I work right down the street. Ditto on the time.
