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.

TCB ride #1 4/6/2010


For those that heeded the call a great ride was had by all. Warm weather, fair winds (<10mph), and clear skies combined to allow for near perfect riding conditions. Since it was only Dave Betz and myself we chose a challenging 24 mile route out of HHHS and followed an established route with some elevation and long pulls. Riding time: 1:27, average speed: 16.4 mph.
Hope to see many more TCBers on Tuesdays (exception is rain at the time of ride) to join in the fun and training. Remember, we'll tailor rides to accomodate all riders.

See you all soon,
Ed
BTW, contact me with any questions @ boowaa@verizon.net

Happy Spring!
The weather has finally become more conducive to riding outdoors, Hallelujah. The day light is lasting later into the evening making it possible for early evening rides. I’m proposing to the team to gather weekly on Tuesdays for a weekday evening ride to start at 5:00 PM. Routes established by the Suburban Cyclists Club that start at Hatboro-Horsham High School are rider friendly routes that are centrally located. The cue sheets for the routes are easily available from their website at: http://www.suburbancyclists.org There are a number of routes with varying skill levels. We can start training with some of the easier routes. As time goes on we can offer a variety of rides based on ones level of intensity. My goal is to get out riding and developing a team spirit for the LIVESTRONG Challenge. The school is located at Horsham and Babylon Roads, Horsham, PA. Meet in the parking lot adjacent to the track from the entrance off of Babylon Rd.
This is rather short notice, however I’d like to get started ASAP so I’ll meet anyone who is interested this next Tuesday April 6th ready to ride at 5:00 PM.
LIVESTRONG,
Ed
