Monday Night Chicago Cycling Club training ride at Dunkin Donuts
August 2, 2010 from 6:30pm to 8:30pm
Curious to find out what training rides are all about - but aren't sure if you can ride at 25 mph? Here's your chance. This ride has the look and feel of a training ride, but at a slower pace. Emphasis will be placed on smooth riding techniques and paceline etiquette.The average ride pace is 18+ MPHHelmets are requiredroad bikes are encouragedno fixed gear bikes pleaseSInce I have started posting this weekly ride, NOT ONE NEW CHAINLINKER has joined usSee More

Lynn said… - It will be my first time doing the Swedish ride, I hear there is only 1 stop light. Mon night ride might be tough to get to. What about weekend rides? Any groups you would recommend?

- I have never done any CCC rides. How far and how fast do they go? What route do they take? I ride mostly northshore routes. Im also doing the Insane Terrain Ride next month. This will be my first time doing the Swedish Days Ride. Have you done this before? What's your take on it?

- Are you doing the Swedish Days Ride? I am....doing the 100mile route.

Finch said… - Thanks! Luckily, it's one of the "best" fractures you can get. Six weeks at the most and I'll be back out there. I'm just telling myself the daily work commute along the LSP is horrible in July anyway, and I'm saving myself the hassle, haha.

- Haha - no, not squeaking anymore! However, I was involved in an accident Sunday (not my fault, I think I'd be less annoyed if I had earned it) and I now have a radial head fracture. So no bike until the end of July. But I'll be back in the N.S. crit mass come August!
