JUne CCRBENT ride?
May 7^th, 2012, 12:40pm

So with the pleasant success of last Saturday's first CCRBENT ride, what about June? The 9th is out (Collin Co Classic), the 17th is out (Fathers Day) too. That leaves for the weekends, June 2-3, 10,16, 23-24 & 30th. Any other upcoming pay rides in June I didn't account for? Major Brevets or Randos on the schedule?

What about having 2 different rides? One for slower pace and social, and the other longer/faster? I know some folks are looking to explore the more northern roads, and some folks are not ready for that yet. Dave would be happy leading the faster group I am sure, and I would be happy guiding either a slower social ride, or a longer ride but at about a 12-13mph avg.

Just chime in with your thoughts and ideas, help select a date or two, and what your preference is on distance and pacing.

I am leaning toward earlier in the month in the hopes it will be cooler, and will not delay a gathering for almost 2mo if we go late into June... Preferences for distance? Under 20mi, 30-50, 60+?

I'm up for whatever...I'll look at the calendar later. Kim's going to need some slow/short training before we jump into something longer/faster together. I can go out with Kim, Lloyd & Terri for a shorter/slower ride as well. I'd be willing to lead a short/slow group and then we could have 3 different groups and we all could have some fun and fellowship together after as well. Maybe if wekeep getting together, soon we'll all be able to go a bit faster abd a bit further and still have the fun of being together.

More discussion to follow, but I have very poor (read: no) internet for the next week or so...

I'm thinking either the June 2-3 weekend, or June 10th. That is the day after the Collin Co Classic, so a 'recovery' ride is a possible option for folks too. I am not sure if Terri will be able to ride, as it looks like she will have a surgery soon...not sure on the timing. Lloyd will probably be available though. I am game for either slow & social short ride like the Wilmeth loop, or longer (Weston loop with hills), runs about 34mi and has some virgin asphalt on Weston road! I still only average 12.5mph overall on even the longer rides, so that is still pretty darned slow... Sad

, so if anyone wants more distance but not so much speed, I know a nice route.

Moreover, I'll even host a little party afterwards for those interested; pool, maybe some grilled delights.....

Ouch! $30 for registration. We could do the Collin County Classic, or we could ride the route on our own another day, and pay you for the cost of various BBQ delights. Hmmm. Smiley

I'm up for either.

The kids pitched in half so it was affordable. Only a 4 mile ride, but as it is their first it should be fun. Will also be Kim's first on the Speed. I'll look for everyone st the Classic.
