Ladies and Gents,
I'm leaving on Friday AM for a couple of days worth of solo bike touring up into TN and will not be here on Sunday, however, the ride goes on!

....see, I told you all there WAS a reason for the fenders and racks the last few weeks!..... :)

The Kroger #2 loop (41miles) is on tap for this week...map is here: http://www.mapmyfitness.com/ride/united-states/ga/gainesville/510375154

Looks like Sat is going to be a wash-out... :( ......but Sunday is looking good :)

Lets do a route we haven't done this year..... the Kroger 50 - #2. It's a big loop of 50 mostly rolling miles up around the Cleveland area...real pretty.

We'll have one store stop at mile 34.

A couple of us will be riding some miles before and also after the main ride...email me by Sat night if you like to join us.

See you on Sunday!

64 degrees and sunny on Sunday....that's the forcast!
Going to do a new ride....It's listed as the Nimblewill 58 on the MapMyRide.com group if you're a member.
Planning on 2 brief stops along the way. It's a very scenic route.
Spring is here and the big rides are going to be just around the corner...time to get some longer, easy miles in the legs...come join us at 1pm.
Also remember that the rides on Saturday AM, early Sunday AM, Tuesday PM and Thursday PM are all going full swing now!

Sorry for my slow post this week....I've been fighting this virus stuff on-and-off all week long on top of our most stressful week of the year at work....ugh!

I've mapped a new 50miler for this week...the "Close-By Kroger 50"...it uses lots of small roads that keep us fairly nearby in the event of weather forcing us home in a hurry.
Ride will go unless it is raining heavy at 1pm.

Hope to see you there! :)

We keep getting blessed w/ great weather on Sunday afternoons for this time of year...makes it easier to get out and ride, huh?
Speaking of riding, come join us this Sunday for the Copper Mines loop into Lumpkin and White counties. It is @ 53 miles of beautiful roads with plenty of ups and downs to keep it interesting :) Remember that we always regroup at the tops of climbs and at major intersections.

Suzanne will also have the B group doing a 25-30 mile option at 14-15mph.

Weather looks to be a little cooler but very sunny this weekend…let’s ride!!!

Put away the arm warmers and find those shorts you haven't been able to wear in 2 months...
It's gonna be 66 degrees and sunny this Sunday!

We'll be heading up towards Habersham Co., doing the Kroger 55 loop this week. Plan accordingly for water and food since the only known store stop on this beautiful loop is at mile 15. Drink plenty at the beginning and maybe bring an extra bottle.

Last week was great with almost 15 riders...great weather and fantastic company....let's do it again this week.

Long-range forcast for this Sunday looks great...sunshine and mid-50's! Wooohooo!

Lets ride up into White Co. this week....we'll be doing the Kroger #4 route, looping up to Cleveland.

Come join us...the pace hasn't been more than about 16-17mph avg. and the company has been great the last few weeks!

See you on Sunday......................

Tomorrow looks to be dry and near 50 degrees...plan to come out and ride w/ us.
We're planning on doing the beautiful route over on Auraria Rd. into Lumpkin Co. and then back into N. Hall. Its about 45miles.
Look at the "Kroger #3" route in the MapMyRide.com group if you need the details.
See you all tomorrow,
Craig

New Year

Congrats on making it thru the holidays! If you're like me, you enjoyed some good eats :)
What's your plan for this season? Now is the time to lay out your "game plan" for the season...don't wait until the last minute to decide what events are going to be important to you this year. The plan can always change a little, but you know that old saying; failing to plan is planning to fail!
Come out on Sundays and build that base mileage that's so important; nothing else can replace the hours in the saddle!

Ride to eat!

The overcast and cool skys couldn't dampen the spirits of the 6 hardy riders who came out today.
It was a great ride w/ good company...almost 50 miles at a 16.4mph average.
Next week should be a great opportunity to bank a few negative calories before the holiday week and all the good food that it brings w/ it! Afterall, isn't that why we ride?? So we can eat what we like w/ no guilt :)
Join us next week for a gentle 40-50 mile loop...

2008-11-29T18:13:00.000-08:00

We've been having up to 15 people showing up the last few weeks, the Gainesville Times has included our ride in an article that they published 2 weeks ago...winter riding is good!
This week we will stay close to home due to they questionable weather.
Plan is to do two loops of a 20 miler. This will keep us near the cars in the event of a real soaking. No need to go hypothermic just for a little fitness!!!!
SYOTR!

It's back...sort of...

The spambots thought the old blog was spam due to the redirecting links to the maps at the MapMyRide site.
I made multiple requests for them to bring it back up...they haven't after almost 3 weeks, so here's the new one.
