Wed. Sept. 3 Erik's unofficial group ride

For this weeks ride there will be two groups. One group (with Marty) will be riding cross bikes on the Douglas horse trail and the other group (with Steve) will be riding on the road as usual. For those that are going on the road I suggest doing the West #1 route from the list of Wed. night routes at the right of this post. We can all roll out together and split off at Douglas. Lastly, since this is an unofficial Erik's group ride, we can meet at 5:45 and depart at 6:00. Hope to see everyone. :)

For anyone who is interested in one more long ride to test your fitness, there will be a group of riders from Rochester going to the Jesse James ride this weekend. The plan is to meet up in Northfield and depart from the school (at the flagpole) at 8:00am sharp.

They are planning on doing the 100 mile loop, but I think you can split off at several points.

Wed. Aug. 27th Erik's Ride

This is the last "official" Erik's Wed. night group ride, but I am hoping to transition into a Wed. night group cyclocross training/technique ride. Next week I will post the proposed cross route so get ready to have some fun!!!

Wed. Aug. 20th Erik's Ride

Daylight is diminishing so our routes will be getting shorter, as you can see from the map below. We are heading towards Rock Dell because the winds are going to be out of the south. This route can be followed either way, but I think it would be best to head to Douglas first so other riders can meet us on the trail.

Another reminder that you need to use firefox or netscape to view the maps. Also great job last week for being ready to go at 5:45pm. The route for this week will take us to P.I. on 3 then to 11. South to 5, east on 75th which will take us down Genoa, Douglas, and back on the trail.. Should be a fun route.

Tom W.

Our friend Tom W. has had a motorcycle accident. Doctors have operated twice to repair a shattered tibia bone and as soon as the swelling goes down he will be having another operation. He will not be able to put weight on his leg for 3 months. As you can see Tom is in a very tough situation. Please say a prayer for him and his family.

Explorer problems.

It looks like Internet Explorer is having difficulties opening the maps, so you will have to use Netscape or Firefox to view the maps.

Sunset is at 8:26pm so our departure time will be a firm 5:45pm. Also, the route is very hilly, so let's have some fun helping each other make it to the top of every mountain. I know several of you guys have some motivational phrases to get my @$$ going.
