Ride Description
We are doing the Roswell Ride on Tuesday 6pm leaving from the Roswell Area Park upper parking lot.  Starting at Roswell Area Park we ride through Historic Downtown Roswell.  We then take a few good hills followed by a ride down Riverside along the Chattahoochee, with alot of good hills along the way back to the finish.  See the map below for the full route and elevation profile.

A & B Group
We usually break into an A and a B group.  I lead the B group and the A group is led by whatever fast people show up.  The A group is not no drop.  If you get dropped by the A group and don't know the route, stop, consider yourself in the B group, and we will be along shortly...  Lately the A group has been doing a longer route of 25-30 miles.

Don't forget your running shoes!
We usually do a short one 1.5 mile transition run around Roswell Area Park after the ride.

Happy Birthday Amy!
Tuesday is Amy’s Birthday and we plan on heading up to Taco Mac for some well earned refreshments to celebrate after the ride.  We usually arrive at Taco Mac around 8:15pm and it's located at 685 Crossville Rd in Roswell, GA.  Please feel free to join us at Taco Mac to talk triathlon, Tour de France, and just celebrate even if you can’t make the ride.

Weather Guideline
It's currently forecasted to be 82 degrees with a chance of Thunderstorms.  We are an optimistic group and assume the weather will hold out.  If not we will just head up to Taco Mac early…   I will post an update here regarding the expected weather conditions and our ride plans by 4:30pm on Tuesday.

No Drop
The B group is a ride in case any of you want to ride but are not sure of yourself. 

Tuesday Tour de Roswell
 
It was a very exciting Tour de France this year and I can’t wait for July ’10.  The new Team Radio Shack mentioned in addition to the Tour they will be participating in Triathlons and Running events.  Are there any Ironman bike courses with an Uncategorized Climb for Lance? 
Our ride will give you a chance to train with some awesome Atlanta triathletes and practice your devastating Armstrong accelerations up Eves Road.
Start training now to get in form for next years Tour…

Hope to see you there!
Justin

Thunderstorm83°F  Scattered T-Storms
This is not the icon you want to see when looking at the weather around the time of your planned ride! 
At this point there is only a 40% chance of precipitation.  
Lets hope it continues to stay dry.

You should take a cue from LisaB and HTFU or we may have to find another leader...

No, the last time I rode with you guys.  I was out of commission for a whole week with my back.  You and Karen are too hard on me.  I am going to putz around coulmns drive a while (rain or shine ).  I may get over there before you guys finish and go to Taco Mac with the regulars.  You should do Taco Macs with us.

Looks like if the weather holds out, we're going to have a good turnout this week.
Here's who we have so far:

  • Becky & Jonathan B
  • Courtney
  • Jay
  • Jerry & Amy will be there.  Apparently Amy will be bringing tasty treats for Taco Mac after the ride.
  • Karen
  • Katie on her new and hopefully properly fitted Felt.  I thought she might be crippled for life after seeing her position on it last week after it had just been built.
  • Lisa
  • Mindy
  • Scott on his new Valdora and a bunch of other people who never post but always show up.  The raw carbon on Scott's Valdora is beautiful.  However, Scott missed the memo that Roswell 22 riders prefer Cervelo three to one over any other bike brand.
  • Several who responded "if work, family, life, and/or horrendous Atlanta traffic permit" to my email inquiry.
  • Stephanie

I'll be riding rain or shine so that Neal and Lisa won't poke fun at me. 
See everyone at the ride and hopefully at Taco Mac after.

Justin

As of now, looks like we are going to have excellent weather for the ride and the forecast at 6pm shows a 0% chance of precipitation.
