Bike Stuff (Summer and Winter)

Here's a definition of a warm-up.   About 17-18mph on the flats.  Take it easy on the hills.  About 20 minutes.  In other words you shouldn't be going as hard as you can. Caution:  Too slow is dangerous as the people in the back of a big pack keep running up on the front guys.  Just take what the roads give you during the warm-up

Summer

• 2019-20 Season: Every Tuesday night (Mar - Sept) a bunch of club members and others do a training ride from Ramsey Beach in White Bear Lake.
• Depart at 5:45.  Be ready to ride by 5:45
• 4 groups (Distance 30-50 miles depending on time of year)
  • Fast - Average 22+ mph (10-15 riders)  Pacelines
  • Half-Fast - Average 19-20 mph (15-25 riders) Pacelines and a warm-up
  • Qtr-Fast - Average 17-18 mph (5-10 riders, mostly tri-athletes)  Distance about 10 miles shorter, not much pacelining
