Re: [CKcycle] Intermediate Cycling Night

My thoughts too, Dan! And don't forget many recreational riders don't necessarily want to go faster or further, although over time these will naturally occur. They just want to go for a leisurely group ride. become a "three places at once" issue for me. Having another ride night, regardless of speed (Intermediate or recreational) would be great.

But in my eyea we are letting the other recreational riders behind as we are not waiting for them. :-( So now people need to choose between both on the Wednesday ride... We must not forget our roots as to where most were at just 1 year and a half ago.. pretty much at the same level as our newer riders. I personally feel this Intermediate Cycling Night should be held on another open night to avoid splitting the groups... As it can happen that we will leave a slower rider behind on his own due there is no one to ride with them defeating the Wednesday Ride purpose. Also the Intermediate Group can do greater distances then the recreational riders due to speed difference. So once we pass the mark where the other group changes directions there is no possibilities falling back. I like seeing wanting to get better and faster but not at the expense of loosing riders. Waiting SUX but you know what.. we are all out enjoying the same sport. Matt at the start of the season we had touched this topic on adding another night... was the general consensus for a Thursday or Friday Add On? Would this work for most on this list... just wondering.

It wouldn't disrupt the tuesday group.

A time where a slightly more experienced rider can practise group riding skills and challenge their abilities just a little further. I'd like to get the ball rolling on this if people are interested. So... What do you think of this... Tuesday Night 6:30 Meeting Place Rona ( this way we can head out of town without worrying about traffic so much) Average Speed +-30K to start Skill to be worked on: Keeping our lines tight, cycling through the group, increasing speed and endurance I'd like to invite a couple of the Regular Tuesday night people out as well in hopes that we can learn form your experience. I heard some great things about how a couple of the guys from the Tuesday night group helped bring the cycling group together on Sunday as a working team. (Thanks). Minus the accident I heard that the ride was very unified and enjoyable. We would be grateful for any mentor ship that you would be will to provide. I'm sorry but I don't know who it was that fell but I'm hoping you are doing ok. Let us know if you need anything. Anyway....if interested....I'd like to start tomorrow night :) Let me know if you are in. And please share any other ideas you may have.
