i'm planning on a 40 mile ride down on the lone star course this saturday. leaving moody gardens west parking lot at 0700. 3 mile transition run following. sprint, oly, 70.3.... all welcome!

houston racing's club ride leaves at 0800 so there should be a bunch of folks out on the course for some company.

Sounds like fun but I've already signed up for the Blue Bell Fun Run up in Brenham Saturday morning. Hard to pass up all-you-can-eat Blue Bell ice cream after a 10k!

Wow, that's crazy early for those of us up north! But, I'll still join in on the fun. Any idea if it's ok to swim while we're there or is that frowned upon?

Fatty,

I will be down there at 7 as well. I have an easy taper ride scheduled, so it should make for a relaxing ride. If you want 40 miles just turn around right before the SLP. And for people who haven't road down there previous, the SLP has no shoulder so I would not suggest going to the mainland.

Just my opinion.

You bet. About to start heading out in a couple of minutes. Hopefully the rain will come later in the a.m. so we can all have a good ride down there.

The road conditions were fantastic! There is a huge stretch of road that has been repaved and is very smooth. The rest of the coarse is really acceptable; no big pot holes or cracks from what I saw.

We only road 20 miles into the coarse and 20 miles back. I am not sure about the remaining distance but it was smooth for tha leg. The winds were not too bad heading out, but got heavy coming in. The wind coming back was not as bad as I though it was going to be. It got hot though for our run after the ride. Definately could use more cloud coverage

.

All in all, I think the coarse is going to be acceptable and fun to most.

I'm only racing the Oly on Sat so 20 mi is more than enough. Thanks for the information, good luck with the ride next weekend! Maybe we'll have overcast skys and calm winds... Ya right!
