Don't go by the grocery store.  The girl scouts are out in hoards trying to sell you coming and going from the store.

I got my trainer ride in this A.M. wasn't much because my legs are like bricks! But I did have a happy arse! Really liking my new saddle, just wish I had more time to spend on it! Teach vive tonight and supposed to go for a run but not sure that will happen...add me to the "I need a nap" group! I'm not sure what it is, I have been so tired the last few days, and my recovery week is still 2 weeks away!

MDHillSlug - 2010-03-09 10:56 AM If you are still interested in my group ride saga I just prodded a response:

The impromptu rides which take place via the yahoo group are not announced via our club website nor "officially supported" by . I'd take time before any ride you're involved with to set some "ride rules" but no guarantees on whether or not the group will listen. Only events listed on the website under the training tab are official club events. This has to do with insurance and "club responsibilities". Hope this helps. It's a trial and error process to find a group that you like to train with and feel comfortable with. Put out your requirements/requests to the Yahoo group and see what happens. You may be pleasantly surprised.
Ride safe,

I responded that I can see the distinction but I'm not sure everyone else would, so from a club liability standpoint this should be stated explicitly somewhere.

I guess this is why I prefer to ride/train solo


That is a pretty sorry response to your experience. That is why I don't ride in groups as well. Which is too bad. At least you put it out there!

Yea on the swim today.
x2 I agree that is a pretty sad response. I can't believe that as a tri club president, he/she couldn't come up with ANYthing a little more encouraging?


x3!!!  I'm sorry, but that is a SUCKY response (pardon my French).  I'd be looking for a new Tri club.  Not that I currently belong to a Tri club.  I'm into solo training and that includes bike rides.


That is their Cover Their A$$ statement.  It is a blanket response to all complaints and it is just poor clubsmanship in my book.  That is all they ever will say and once again that is why I do 90% of my riding solo.  I never drop myself but sometimes think I can

When I responded that the distinction needs to be stated explicitly somewhere he said "it's stated in our  insurance documents."

I do about 99% of my riding alone.


Ugh   That really sucks, I'm sorry!  Sheesh, I can't imagine the president of my tri club sending out a response like that!!  Way to not care about your members!!

As I just said to my partner:

For a club president interested in the *legal* wellbeing of the *club*, that
was an adequate response. For a club president interested in the wellbeing
of the club *members*, it fell completely short.

Add me to the list of it's a sucky response.  Boo tri club president.

I agree with everyone that it really is not a good response.  The closest tri club to me is over an hour away and if I made the effort to go and ride/train with them, I sure would expect that they would care about where I was as a member.  Really sorry that you had such a bad experience.  You know that no one on BT would ever drop you.

No training for me today bEASTies!.  Rotary this morning, then work all day, and then topping off the day with a trip to the city for a theatre experience.  Spring Awakening.  Don't know what it is about, but I'm looking forward to it.  Back to training for me tomorrow.

I didn't even get a "I'm sorry you had a bad experience/bad ride". I guess he's not the president I thought he was.

Agreeing on the lame response.  You deserve a bit more than that.

Very glad I sent my husband to the store tonight! He'd better just come back the salad fixings that I sent him for...

Haven't read anything, just checking in to say I'm back from Florida. I had a couple nice runs while I was down there, but I'm tired from traveling all day. I'll probably check in again sometime tomorrow.
