Ride on Saturday Morning

Hello Everyone,

So it is Midnight on friday - we are supposed to meet at 8:30 am for a ride - the weather is predicting, not only rain but thunder. I will post something at 8am and send an email -but I think there is a good chance we will have to do it next week. Riding in thunderstorms is not my idea of a good way to be on your bike. :)

stay tuned

thanks,
Amy

2 helpful running websites

Hi - since I spend a lot more time sitting in front of a computer than I do running, I have lots of time to THINK about running! Here are two websites I've used for plotting distances and calculting pace:

Hope everyone's doing great. I'll miss you on the bike ride, but I'll be there for another one!

What to Wear?

I think I asked this at our first dinner back in February. I still can't get my head around what one wears. The thought of biking or running in a swim suit sounds yucky, not to mention chaffing-causing. But I don't want the drag of swimming in running shorts and a tank. And I am not spending $100+ on a tri suit, especially when they're not easy-off for the multiple trips to the bathroom I invariably take before a race.

What are you all planning to wear? Tri veterans, what do you suggest?

time to get out and ride

Hello Ladies -

so let's get out on the bike on Saturday morning. It looks like saturday morning is the best day - and its split down the middle between 8 and 9am - so perhaps we can meet at 8:30. Let me know if you have constrictions and need to meet at 8am (ie - you have a soccer game at 9am)

I think we should meet at Barton Park on Huron River Drive. I will post directions -

but for now - save the date and the time! Also bring your running shoes.

Let me know if you can make it!

Be well!

Anyone running Saturday AM?

Just curious if anyone is planning on running this Saturday morning again. It sounds like many of you had a lovely run around the Argo/Bandemeer loop by the river last Saturday. I am still trying to coordinate my family plans on this end, but was curious if anyone is planning on being out this Saturday AM around 8:30.

Getting your Bike on!

Hey Ladies-

It's time to get out on the bike!!!! I know, I know its raining - but the good news is - April Showers bring...May Flowers...(no not pilgrims) Which means the weather is warming up!!! Giddy Up! It's time for the rubber to meet the road and see how it feels to ride outside.

So far, it looks like Saturday Morning will work the best for folks - If you haven't voted yet - please do so. I am out of town this Saturday - but let's think about riding next saturday morning. So, mark your calandars. I was thinking we could meet at either Barton Park or at the Dairy Queen in Dexter. I want to wait to see how windy it is that day.

Also, I'd love to hear how your running is going.

be well! Keep up the good work!

Amy
