Essex County Tri Group

It was nice meeting the 3 of you last night. That was useful open water swim practice for me, thanks.

Next Tuesday at 7:00 should be fine for me for either a bike or another swim, or perhaps even both. County road 50 had some construction on it west of Arner so I will check and see if the loop where the Loaring is run is under construction right now.

Getting together for a bike would be fun, but a once a week open water swim group would be really beneficial for my training. It would also kill 2 birds with one stone as my kids were all over me last night to arrange a play-day with Tabb's kids.

I'd be interested in anything.

I am testing out route posting to help us with planning runs and bikes.

If you go to my training log there should be a route listed for my 10k run that my running club is doing tonight.  Let me know if you can access the map.  I am not suggesting this run at this time, but wanted to make sure others could access the map.  If it works, here is what I did...

-create my route using the route manager

-save it as a public route

-use it in the training log for others to access. (or list the name / location in a blog or email.  The route manager has a search function for public routes)

You want to borrow my road bike?  

If that stretch of road re-construction is finished we could ride down road 50 do the Loaring loop and bike back to the beach in an hour.

I don't think that I could wash my tri shorts enough times that you would consider wearing them. However I do have a Giant OCR3 with Syntace aero-bars, and Look pedals that I hardly ever touch any more. Also an old pair of size 10 Shimano shoes with cleats that fit the Looks. Is this starting to feel like a garage sale? 

You are welcome to use the Giant next week if you would like to see what clip-less and aero-bars feel like.

Bikesport. They are right on Michigan. Google them and you will find a very nice website with good articles on a variety of triathlon related topics. They have good prices and there is no duty on North American bikes, such as Cervelo and Felt that they stock. If you can wait until the end of the summer they have some great sales. I bought a Cervelo Dual there at the end of August about 4 years ago for $1200.

Excellent!  Thanks!

Bump.

Are we still on for this.  I am iffy due to work that day.

I'm still planning on coming Tuesday but no kids this time. I'll bring the extra wetsuit and road bike.

Thanks for the outing everyone.  I had a good time.

I was talking to Dave at the end of the night and we were batting around the idea of a swim run next week.

We could do 1-2 "beach laps" and then head over to the green-way and do a nice easy 5-6k.

7pm still good for everyone?
