It is race week! Therefore, pay close attention to the schedule. If you are racing, I encourage to do all of your swims in open water. If you haven’t been swimming and feel a bit uneasy, please spend at lease 20 min a day in the water and focus on drills.
Enclosed you will find the schedule:
You still have time to order your Jerseys. Last day will be Wednesday!
I hope you all had an amazing weekend! This weekend it is going to be a bit different, so please pay close attention to the schedule.
Bike Riding Rules
Moving forward we will have three groups on our weekend group rides.
Group A:
Speed: 22 + mph
Must know course!
Must know how to ride in peloton.
Group B:
Speed: 18 – 20 mph
Led by Carlos and Jen.
Must be comfortable riding in group.
Group C:
Speed: 16 – 18 mph
Coached session!
Keep in mind:
Teamwork: give a helping hand, watch for problems and help each other.
Be predictable: ride in a straight line, constant speed, unless indicated differently by the coach.
Communicate: use verbal and hand signals to communicate with other team members and with other traffic.
Hand signals: use the hand signals for turning and stopping.
Verbal warning: along with hand signals, verbally warn warn cyclist being you for anything that the person in front calls out.
Change positions correctly: if you are passing, you pass on the left. If you want to drop behind, signal the rider and allow them to pass you on the left.
Wait at turns and stops signs! No rolling through!
WATCH OUT FOR TRAFFIC! Ride for the person behind you, in front of you and yourself! SAFETY!
We are trying to ride together as a team and grow the club. We want you to have a cycling jersey that matches the team when we ride on the weekends. Please purchase it today. This Sunday is the last day to order.
