Champion  5575    Butler |  Subject: RE: Sun, 3/2- group ride on Playtri bike course?Agree that Tri bikes will be fine usually with tri types you tend to get more wierd looks from road groups but then if you stay out of aero you should be fine. I have ridden in pacelines in aero with tri bikes before although not smart. Did it last year in the MS150 the last 10 miles with about 8-10 people. We were all dying and it was really windy/hilly so we all just took turns leading. I would not suggest doing it on sunday as there will be no traffice control and way too much potential to be stopping. I would say as long as everyone leaves a safe distance (close to the legal draft zone) it would be okay. |

Unicycles, however, are welcome. I hope the weather holds up. Temp will be nice, we just need the hydro to stay away. Chris |

Veteran 113 Texas | Subject: RE: Sun, 3/2- group ride on Playtri bike course? It looks like we are going to have a good size group!  I'll consolidate a list of who all will be there closer to Sunday. This way all of those "maybe"s will have time to change it to a definite "yes."  I mapped out a modified route of the Playtri course that we can ride. It's basically the course, but with just a few changes so that we won't be riding against traffic. And it leaves out one of the short stretches that is a u-turn towards the end of the loop. You can view it here: http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/training/map.asp?route... I also typed up a cue sheet for the map, but can't seem to figure out how to put it on here since it's in a Word Doc. file.  So, I can print up several of them and bring them with me OR I can cut and paste it into here if you want to take a look at it ahead of time. Edited by sportysue 2008-02-27 9:27 PM |

We are coming up this year and were wondering about the water temps that time of year? Sorry we will miss the ride but thanks for the info you posted on it! Bet on needing a wetsuit. Last year... wetsuits were needed. The people who did not wear a wetsuit were sorry that they didn't. One gal in my group jumped in the water... got out and walked off. Quit the race right then and there. Another girl in my group swam it, but had to get pulled out of the water for being so cold. She DNF'ed. I found her shivering on the other side of the fence. Yes, those are girls... but a friend of mine who is a guy... got cramps on the swim that affected his race because he was so cold in the water. Read Jcbolten's RR from last year. |

I remember someone told me the went to kieffer last year to buy a wetsuit and they said wear it and if you want to return it after the race you could and only pay a $40 fee (or there about's). I definately would not go in w/o a wetsuit unless you are hard core. |

And the cost of the rental went towards buying something on their website. It was only like $25 or something like that. |

Veteran 113 Texas | Subject: RE: Sun, 3/2- group ride on Playtri bike course? Well, we can expect a very windy ride tomorrow. But, it will be good training for Playtri because it was that windy last year ON race day. It looks like the rain won't happen until later in the day. Okay, time to take a head count of who will be riding tomorrow so that we can be expecting to see you. Those with the (?) are the maybes, so what say you? Also, let us all know if you "yes"s have changed your minds. Here's who to expect: SportySue (Sue) rgill (Raegan) bkarhu (Brian) karhooligan (Chris) KSH (Karen) (?) kproudfoot (Ken) (?) texmom (Jill) (?) Gaarryy (Gary) jcagg90 (John)- Sorry, John. You're not a "maybe" tikicult (Dave) (?) camy (Chris) (?) jah2212 (Jen) (?) textriguy (Daryl) If I missed anyone let us know. It should be a fun ride tomorrow (at least the part with the tailwind will be!) |
