ESCKTC Bike Ride Sunday (Page 14)

bryancd - 2007-11-03 4:44 PM I will just make one comment. Training is a discipline. Getting up early is a discipline. Both lead to success. Having a routine of hitting it early on the weekends helps your body adapt to racing early on the weekends. I don't have kids, but I'm up by 4-5 am everyday, going to work or going to train. Discipline is a good thing.

Yup, that's what separates the folks who are qualifying and placing in their AGs and hobbyists like me. I have no aspirations of making this anything more than a hobby and a social outlet. 

Save the discipline for the bedroom...did I mention no kids?

Yea, listening to the discipline in Harry's bedroom was enough to make my bike fall apart today    Consider yourself lucky that you're up in Flagstaff Astrid.

We're planning an early morning ride this weekend, but we still have a problem in that we have to do 70-80 miles. That's a LOONG ride!

Maybe we could try to do 2 loops of something so we could still have you come out for the first loop and re-supply when we drop you off? 

sportyj - 2007-11-05 8:34 AM Harry's bedroom discipline...Tanya in the bedroom with Josh and I *shakes head* we are a weird little bunch. Ahhh this weekend - I calculated that a 5 hour ride at 16mph would require 80 MILES!!!!!! WHOA! Maybe 2 40 mile loops? Shoot I don't know...crap 80 miles??? I figured we would count breaks (hence the 16mph pace) and its STILL 80 miles! DAMN. EARLY...for you Aaron...why not? I think its a given that we will have to go relatively early to cover 80 freakin miles!!!

WE CAN DOOOOO IT!!!

Kewel! So who wants to draw up a 40 mile FLAT loop?

We can name this: "The Ride for Aaron" run and each pay me a small, nominal fee of $25 to do this organized event.
