This Weekend's Ride Schedule

The weather forecast for Saturday's Fort Pickens Ride looks almost perfect! We're talking high 70s when we start and mid 80s as we're heading back across 3 Mile Bridge. Partly cloudy skies with just a hint of a breeze (3mph), perfect! On last night's ride we were discussing the length of the Fort Pickens Ride from Fish and Wildlife. Some guessed as low as 35 miles while others thought as much as 50 miles. Well, I did some checking and the answer is, if we loop through Gulf Breeze both directions, a grand total of 42 miles...plus or minus a few tenths.

There will be a group however, that will start from the south side of 3 Mile Bridge. (So for them it will be uh, 3 miles times 2 equals 6. 6 from 42 equals...uh, 36...plus or minus a few tenths.) Please be ready to ride at 7:15am as we should be cruising through right around that time...plus or minus a few minutes.

Considering so many of our group will be racing next week in the Pensacola Cycling Classic, I think this is a real good selection for a week out from race day. It's long enough to get the blood pumping, yet not too long so as to drain the stores. I'm sure that most of us will keep the pace moderate. A nice Saturday morning spin!

Sunday afternoon's weather doesn't look quite as good with the chance of t-storms. However, a few weeks back we headed out under some of the darkest skies I've ever seen and maneuvered our way around town and never got a drop on us...so there's hope of a ride.

This past week has sure seen some hammerfests for the peloton as well as some rompin', stompin' sprints! Even Codie Brooks won one...go figure! Great cycling with plenty of attacks and lots of antics. Even the flats have been loud! (Anybody ever find the rest of Happy's tire?) I'm sure that most of you who are racing next weekend in the PCC are looking to taper down the miles and intensity. Our rides this weekend will cater perfectly to your schedule. Come on out for some fun and great group riding!

Please check the Ride Calendar at the bottom of this blogify for all the details. And I'll...

See you out on the road,
