Hello Crew!
Well, we've had some excellent training rides lately! Mr. Charles Senters has been relentless in his pursuit of late-game gappage, and continues to be successful in breaking away and staying away form our training groups lately. Charles has been riding bikes for many years; Road and mountain. So he has this uncanny ability to attack when you least expect it. Sometimes he attacks us on the open road, but our strong road riders can quickly neutralize him there. So at other times, he attacks around a gravely corner. If that is not successful, he will attack at the top of a dangerous and extremely fast decent... and this is where Charles usually gets his gap! Not many of the rest of us are brave enough to decent behind him.... The exceptions are Jack Evans and Brad Herrman. When these three riders get serious about going down hill, you might as well sit up and have a drink of water... because they are G.O.N.E.!
Last Saturdays ride consisted of a test ride of the proposed Spring Training Race. Even though it was a cool day, we had a nice turnout. Roger, Jack, Brad Herrman and Charles were very active and strong. We were very pleased to have Mr. Dave Chaney, from Everybody's Bike Coach Team (Everybody's Bike Coach - A Professional Online Training Program ) join us. It was nice having Dave with us as he kept the pace lively.
Charles, Roger, Jack, Brad Herrman and several others have been very energetic lately and it is really great to see so much good conditioning in our crew at this time of the year.
