PBA Popsicle Ride
May 15th, 2009, 8:49am
 
Is there anyone interested in riding the Tuesday/Thursday night PBA Popsicle ride?
 
I've been riding it occasionally over the last couple of months, so they are used to having a recumbent around (I tend to avoid being in the middle of the pack).  They ride it in two official groups, with a third (slower) group that leaves the main route somewhere.
 
"A" group:  Faster, racer mentality.  This group averages 21+ MPH and can get squirrelly at times, it also goes about a mile longer than the "B" group.  They will not stop for mechanical issues - it is a "drop" ride.
 
"B" group:  This group averages 19 MPH, and can also be squirrelly.  The route that we rode Tuesday was about 34 miles.  They do stop for mechanical issues, but it is also a "drop" ride.
 
"R" group:  I figure if anyone else is interested, we can stick together behind (or in front of) the "B" group.
 
As far as I know, you don't have to be a PBA member to ride this ride: http://tinyurl.com/pbapopinfo
 
Here is my ride from last month, when I rode the full ride (normally I bail early and head home):  http://tinyurl.com/prtzcy

I've ridden the Popscicle many times over the last 3 years on my Corsa.  They start right on my commute home, so I usually ride it with a change of clothes for work in the brain bag!  and then finish up my commute home.  Might make it someday, but I usually don't plan to far in advance!
 
Take Care,
Nelson.
