September 6th Bike Ride

I’m organizing a bike ride to help prepare us for the Bay to Bay Bike Tour.

Since this is our first ride together it will be a short ride of about 20 miles. We leave from Mothers Beach then head south down the PCH to the Huntington Beach Pier and then return.

This ride will introduce us to riding together as a team. We will also have the chance to talk about the tour and go over any questions of concerns and go over all the logistics of the tour.

It will also give me a chance to see what pace we should maintain during the tour. I want to make sure that we will all enjoy the big weekend ride by setting a pace that everyone can maintain.

Plan on the ride starting about 45 minutes after the land workout this Saturday, approximately 10:45. This will give us all enough time to eat a light snack (bananas, apple, Clif bar, etc.) and rest a little. Make sure to eat light, fast digesting carbs, nothing too heavy. We can gorge ourselves after the ride. Make sure to have plenty of water or, preferably, sports drink with you. Also, please wear a bike helmet. It is not required on this ride, but it will be during the BaytoBay Bike Tour, may as well get used to it.

If you have not signed up for the Cycling Team please do so now. There is only about 5 weeks left until the bike Tour and it is already 80% sold out, so time and space are running out! See you on Saturday.
