Sunday Morning Tempo Ride

 

We meet at NW corner of Coit & Spring Creek at 8:00am (7:00am, June - August) on Sundays. Our average will be about 16.5-17.5 mph meaning that you will ride sometimes at a higher pace/speed in order to achieve that average. On days with little to no wind, the average tends to be faster than 17 and you can end up with up to 18mph Avg. This is a group ride that will stay together riding "tempo" with constant effort, not a Hammerfest. The idea is to ride in your small chain ring maintaining a high cadence and keeping your hr in your zone 3 range for most of the ride. We have two designated sprint zones on most of the routes and the ride leader will point them out as well as the end regroup point. We either stop or soft pedal depending on the type of mechanical or delay at the back. Although we try to not drop people on this ride it is a drop ride so be sure and know the area and have a sag plan in place in case you have gotten in over your head. There is one stop during the ride so pack your food and carry plenty of fluids as it gets plenty hot here in Texas. Be sure and check the forum on the night before the ride for updates and route maps as the route will change some each week

Come on out for some cycling fun and recovery!
