These group rides are one of the best ways to get stronger as a cyclist - I know that they were instrumental in my cycling development. The problem is that many out there are stuck in there comfort zone, doing their own training and they'll find a ton of excuses or justifications to skip this ride. I'm not going to organize it if we get only one or two showing up. This could be a really good thing for all - if you participate. It really doesn't matter to me - I'll be training anyways and I'll find the right group. So, would you be into this? PLEASE respond either way. Cheers, EH

But as you know, getting up to Monroe after work on a Tues or Thurs in time for a timely start is not possible. Any chance that you will be doing a late afternoon personal training session down this way and we could roll that into a group workout from time to time?

I get out of work a bit early than most, so if you're looking at an evening ride, that jams me up a bit with traveling north to get home and south to ride. Tuesday's are better than Thursdays for me, for what it's worth. If you have late afternoon rides, 4-4:30 start or earlier, then I'm DTF! McLovin

I know the perfect loop with a good mix of everything. Cheers, EH

Tuesday is crit night (part of the fair you talk of) I would love to do Thursday however nights are pretty committed to family. Any thought of early morning rides before the family wakes? I find if I dont do it in the morning something always comes up during the day. Mark

I'd love to do an early morning, although I'm out the door by 5:15am every day to be down in Greenwhich for 6am. I ride Saturday mornings each week although I'm reluctant to schedule this because I go early and not many show. If others want to ride in the am though, chime in! Cheers, EH

Can it be dangerous? of course. However since the "bad year" they have done a good job of teaching mentoring and getting people in and out safely. They have even for a few weeks run a kids crit to again help riders get it. IMHO it teaches you to ride defensively and if you ride off the front it is a heck of a workout. This is not a plug just what some of us do on Tuesday night. Plus the family can sit on the infield and yell go daddy go like five hundred times. I will work on clearance for a Thursday ride but not likely. I would like to catch up for a ride or two on a Saturday or Sunday as I too start out at daybreak. Anyway I believe that a good group ride once a week will help you go faster. Its a great idea and I hope others latch on. BFM
