Winter Bike League

Hey guys, don't forget the Saturday morning Winter Bike League rides in Greenville and Charlotte! They leave at 9:30am each Saturday morning, start at 2.5 hours in length, and steadily increase to 4 hours by the beginning of the Spring Training Series in Greenville (beginning of March). Typically, they have sprint signs, hill climbs, and are 18-19mph average. You'll find all kinds of riders at these things (the first ride in Charlotte had Frankie Andreau, two guys from DLP, and three riders from Jittery Joe's). These are free group rides, but they're NOT no-drop, so be prepared to stay with the group! Charlotte rides begin at Uptown Cycles OR Per4mance Training (check with me for details). Greenville rides start somewhere else (...I'm not sure where it is this year). - Each city is about 1:15 drive time from Columbia. - Hope to see you guys out there!

1/04/09 Lake Loop

2009 NYDR

When: 1/04/09

Where: Ballentine DMV

Well How Far: 62 (+/-) miles

What Time: Roll out 10 A.M

Why: Why Not? You've been waiting for like 360(+/-) days. The time is drawing closer with every breath you take. Yeah that's right the annual New Year's Day Lake Loop is coming up. Please remember that this is NOT A RACE so get that ego stuff out of your system before you show up - Thanks! Feel assure this ride will have the Tobias stamp of approval - Dirt. So leave the TT bars and 18c. tires at home. Bring your sack of smiles and be ready to start the new year off 3 days late. This is and will be a winter group ride. For the returning riders from past years the highlights will include some County Line Sign Sprints, One stop at the Traffic Circle and at least one section of dirt. I will post up the route here in a few days for those who would like to print themselves a cue sheet.

Happy Holidays
Toby
