Back By Popular Demand - Daily AM Road Rides!
At long last! Beginning Tuesday, June 29th, I'll resume my daily 20-mile 6:15 AM road rides. Last year we had a pretty good group of regulars, and I'm hoping to grow it this year. Here's the scoop:
-Meet at my house in Hobble Creek at 6:15 each weekday. You can let me know beforehand that you're coming, or just show up.
-Mon, Wed and Fri will be moderate, no-drop rides. Favorites are the Homer Loop, bench loop, and Avimor out and back.
-Tues and Thurs rides will be more strenuous, but with natural spots along the route to re-group. We'll mix in some good hill climbs (Hidden Springs, Avimor), intervals and sprints (usually in the neighborhoods at the far north end of Eagle Road). Occasionally we'll do longer rides like Cartright and Horseshoe Bend. We might get an earlier start when we do these longer routes and I'll post beforehand what days these are.
Unless otherwise noted, these will be 18-22 mile rides, and we generally finish by 7:30, which leaves enough time to shower and be to work by 8:00.
I'm looking forward to hanging onto each of your wheels!
Up for it in two weeks
Hey Matt, this sounds like a great idea. I have to finish up teaching drivers ed - last day is the 9th of July (two more weeks) and I start at 7am each morning. But if you keep this up through July and August I would love to tag along. I will check with you after the 9th.
Word!
See you Tuesday! I might need your address, not being a Hobble Creek resident. :)
That's easily fixed
so what do you want in a house? I'm sure there's one in HC that would work for you!
uhh oh
one more now.... (they've been working on me for years Chris) ;)
Tuesday AM Ride
Okay, the debut of the summer rides starts tomorrow! Glad you're in, Chris. My address is 5907 N. Wellspring Way - on the main drag of Hobble Creek. If it would be more convenient for you to meet mid-route somewhere, let me know and we can plan for that.
Although I said Tues / Thurs would be hard workouts, I'm feeling a little lazy. . . let's ease our way into things tomorrow, maybe by doing the Homer Loop.
Let's get a good turnout! See you all tomorrow.

Sounds good to me.
Officially Launched!
Dan and I had a great ride this AM. Chris, what happened? We hung around until 6:25. . . I don't have your phone number, otherwise we would have called. Hopefully we didn't miss you!
Same time, same place, different route tomorrow. Be there!
Failure to launch
As a commuter, I planned on rolling out to meet you guys there and heading to BSU after our ride. But woke to a flat, after fixing it, I headed that way and sat up at about 6:15 when I realized I was 15 minutes away and wasn't gonna make it. You'll have me for future rides for SURE! It was just a misfire this morning. My cell number 891-8001. Tomorrow I have agreed to to an early Bogus climb starting at 6:00 AM. Thursday though...
No Ride Friday - July 2nd
Well, we've had a great first week of the daily AM rides. We've done some fun routes and witnessed great sunrises with excellent company. I'm looking forward to these through the rest of the summer. It's a great way to start the day.
Unfortunately, there will be no (McKinlay-sponsored) ride tomorrow. I'm out. "Why?", you ask? Well, that brings me to the primary purpose of this post. . . is there anyone willing and able to give me a lift to the airport at 6?
Willing and Able...
If you didn't find a ride already, I can give you a ride. Do you want me parked in front of your house at 6am? Do you need to be at the airport by 6am ?
