Saturday, 3-29 Ride
OK, let’s try this again:
When: 9:30 AM
Where: Baker Road and Minnetonka Blvd. There’s plenty of parking if you’re planing to drive in.
What: 3-4 16 mile loops through Medina, each with 8 Durand size hills
If you’re trying to hook up with us en route here are the approximate times we’ll hit these route markers: Hunter & 24 @ 10:00, Willow & Hamel @ 10:20
Trainings Camp is next week; so this’ll be a good trial run to test your fitness.
The main objective of this ride will be to have alternating leaders set a very hard tempo up the hills and the rest of the group to sprint for the KOMs. There will be a general regrouping after each effort. On RT 24 will work on a smooth paceline rotation with each rider pulling for 15″-60″ depending on level of fitness.
Hope to see all of you,
Paul
