Anyone train in downtown/uptown/east Dallas? I'm a memeber of Baylor Tom Landry but haven't tried any of their tri-specific training yet, just striking out on my own. I'm interested in finding some people to ride with on the weekends; most of the group ridew don't start right in-town, and it would be nice to just roll out from my house or nearby. I was thinking we could ride down Swiss, taking the White Rock Marathon course out to the lake.

Also I'd like to hear from anyone else who trains at Baylor

I train at Baylor. I've been doing the indoor spins on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. The multisport program they're building up is pretty neat. There's a group ride that leaves every Saturday morning from Baylor (near the Frullati entrance) that goes down Swiss to White Rock, then usually heads out to 30 and then that route for as long a distance as you'd like and then back. I've done it a couple times and it's a pretty good ride. Officially it's sponsored by Fit2train, but it's also on the multisport calendar from Baylor.

Do you do any of the trainer rides?

No, I haven't been to any of them yet. I need to just suck it up and go; it's probably more fun that riding my trainer in my bedroom.

What's the pace of the Saturday ride like?

The pace of the Saturday ride is a decent pace. Probably averaging 17 or so with some of the faster folks leading out (and dropping everybody) is probably 19+. I recommend going out and giving it a try. They're likely not going to ride tomorrow though.

I definitely, highly, highly recommend the indoor trainer classes. There's a bunch to choose from (Monday night at 6:30, Tues and Thurs morning for one hour at 6am, Tuesday evening for 90 minutes at 6pm, Thursday evening for 60 minutes, or 90 minutes if you want to ride longer, at 6 pm as well. Great classes and definitely a lot more fun than just riding the trainer by yourself.

I'll be riding the trainer at the house this weekend since the weather will likely not be good for outdoor riding.
