Sunday 7/18 Ride to Doylestown/Lake Galena

Sunday's ride included 6 riders on a course that included a few hills and some moderate reaches. The start was HHHS following a regular route thru Horsham & Warminster, then quickly into the New Britan/Chalfont/Doylestown area around Lake Galena and back. The temperature climbed during the ride adding to the challenge. One roadside repair (flat tire) requiring a quick change of inner-tube was necessary. Many helping hands hastened the process while the opportunity was grasped by some as a learning experience. The importance of adequate pre-ride hydration and proper nutritional intake for a challenging ride was reinforced when a rider experienced severe exhaustion which required resuscitation with food and fluids. The cramping of the legs that ensued rendered the rider nearly incapacitated, however he did make back to base. Many thanks to the group for supporting each other.

Team TCB Ride 6/22

Hi everyone,

Well the first official ride of the summer kicked off with a 'bang & flash' Tuesday. Typical hazy, hot & humid conditions were served up with a Thunder boomer skirting near by with lite rain and a rumble of thunder. Not to worry, we pressed on an out-flanked the t-boomer and had an enjoyable ride lead by team member John Dwyer. A 25 mi "C" ride pace of ~12 mph was enjoyed by all. A debriefing on the lawn followed with refreshments. New faces in the crowd were Colleen Donovan and Rob Hughes, joined by Liz, Mark, Kelly, and myself.

Team Ride 6/15

Hi All,

Well, this Tuesday served up a dandy of an evening for a splendid ride through the Bucks-Mont area. Low humidity, moderate temps, and light breezes made for near ideal conditions. Liz and husband Mark were joined by myself. Light refreshments were served on the lawn during the post-ride debriefing.

Hope to see you all for the next ride!

Training Ride - May 4, 2010

It was another beautiful spring evening for a training ride with Ed and some TCB teammates. From left to right: Kelli, Steve, Ed, Andrew, and Luis. I'll let Ed fill you in on the details of the ride.......

Tuesday 4/27 presented an opportunity for a brisk & breezy ride in post-frontal conditions. Five adventurous riders came out to share in the festivities. A short route was agreed upon given the challenging conditions of 55 degree F. temps and winds of 15 mph with gusts to 25 mph. Tink, Luis, Drew, Rick, & myself agreed that we welcome warmer temps. Post-ride debriefing was postponed until next ride given the plunging temps of the evening. We're looking forward to seeing you out next week for a 'warm' ride.

LIVESTRONG,

Ed
