Subject: Woodlands RIDE- Any takers?

Hello out there!  There is a small group of us ladies (beginners) who are doing rides on Wednesday night meeting at the Woodlands area YMCA.  It is a nice ride, about 16-18 miles.  Let us know if you are up for it!

 

Hope to see you there!

Hi Laurie & Erin,

Last night was so much fun. It was a great ride and great route.

Looking forward to next week. Thanks for taking the initiative and getting this started!

It really was fun! Thanks for making a separate post about it, I was planning to but got swamped with work yesterday. See you ladies next week, and hopefully more will join us!

It was SSOOOOOO Fun!  I took my bike in and it is all JACKED up!  they have to replace the gear shifter and blah blah blah.  Just as you suspected Erin (your so smart!) the fit is all wrong too..  SO- It won't be ready on Wednesday  

My Tri is on Sunday (Go Ironbabe!) so I will be practicing on Thursday night.  Do you guys want to try to meet then?  OH- I also had them put on cages, maybe that will help with my granny pace?

 LOL!  See ya'll soon!

Bummer you won't make it out this week - but it is definitely worth missing a week to get your bike fixed up. I can't believe a new bike has that much wrong with it! I'm so glad you took it to Bike Lane. They will take good care of you. The cages should help, but the fit will make the most difference. We won't be able to keep up with you! I'm still planning to go out Wednesday with some newer women. Best of luck this weekend - I want to hear all about it on our ride next week!

Laurie,

I'm so glad you took your bike it. You won't believe the difference, I'll have a hard time keeping up with you!

I'm so glad you took it in before the race. I bet your excited. I didn't enter the race, but I'm going to go and check it out. I'll be on the sidelines cheering you on!

I might be able to go out Thursday night, I'll let you know on Wednesday.

Erin, I'll be there tomorrow night. So you rounded up some more newbies? That's great! Looking forward to riding again!

Kelly, were you at the FINS swim clinic on Sunday? If so, I'm the one that was swimming in your lane and talking with you at the end. Small world. Hope everything works out and you get of the waiting list. I'd love to meet up with everyone one evening for a ride but it's hard to fit into the schedule at this point. Have a great ride!

Hi!

Yes, that was me! After swallowing a bunch of water on those drills, I went to the pool and put it all together. It's all starting to click and I reduced my strokes from 23 to 18 from that one class!

If you an ever make it up here, come ride with us. It's a lot of fun!

Yep, I have at least 2 girls who are new. 2 others were supposed to show last week and said they'll be here this week, but we'll see if they actually make it tonight I'll see you tonight, it will be fun!

Hey yall!  WELL, what a nightmare!  Had to take the bike back to Performance for a brand NEW one since mine was so messed up...  Anyway, took it out for a bit tonight and the fit makes an AMAZING difference, so do the cages.  I feel like I am not so winded Smile

I have to rest up Friday (just some light running, few miles or so at 10 mph pace) and zero on Sat.  I am also bodybuilding so I work shoulders/abs tomorrow.  Legs is usually on sat. but I am NOT doing it this week!

Thanks for all the motivation ladies!  Hope I can make it next week!

So glad you got your bike figured out! I knew the fit would make a difference, but I can't believe you had to get a whole new bike!

Ladies, tomorrow night's ride will leave at 6:15 from Terramont Park in The Woodlands which is closer to Woodlane, possibly allowing us to get in 3 loops before having to race the sun back. Let me know if you need directions. Hope to see you out there!

Sounds great! Hopefully it won't rain. Right now there is a 70% chance of rain. Frown

Here's a google map of Terramont Dr.

Erin,

Are we on for Wednesday the 24th? If we are, do you want or meet out at Woodlane or Terrmont? Hope to see you then.

Sorry for the delay in response, I just saw this post. Let's meet at the corner by Becky Lane. ie: Go into Woodlane, make a right and then let's turn right on Becky and hopefully we can park there. I really am not sure where to park otherwise. Especially with not knowing which streets are currently lit, I want to meet in Woodlane rather then the Woodlands.
