Sunday ride?

Hola Ciclistas,

Well, we've dodged the bullet so far - two days of predicted snow and the roads were still clear to commute today.  Try for a Sunday ride, see if our luck holds out.  11am, Park de Vida north lot.  Cold I can handle, wind I'd rather not, snow is a deal-killer.

USWCDP grad gets some press...

Ally Stacher got some fine press in Cyclingnews.com today.  She spent the spring and summer of 2009 here with the USWCDP and Michael Engleman; Doug LaMunyon hosted her for much of that time; and Ciclistas del Rio helped fund her plane ticket to Europe to ride for the US National Team that fall.

She is now a pro with HTC-Highroad.  Check out the article from the first day of the Women's Tour of New Zealand, where HTC dominated and Ally spoke for the team:

Way to go Ally!

Ok, now this is more like it

On vacation in Hawaii, took the opportunity to demo a Roubaix.  Rode with a local club out to Makapuu Pt (see pic), then a final 850', 2.5mi climb home.

Brave, foolish, or just plain nuts?

Ok, so it was a little windy yesterday.  Bill, Brian, and I wanted to do another lap, but after descending the Mesa Verde road, being sandblasted, blown sideways, and nearly brought to a standstill by the wind, wimpiness got the better of valor, and we slogged home.  Who needs miles when you've got the wind?

Sunday Ride!

There are rumblings for a Sunday ride, weather permitting. Probably Mesa Verde. Meet at 11am, Park de Vida north lot (just north of the Rec Center) and we’ll roll out from there.
