Looks like decent weather this weekend.  Who is up for a group ride in Lawrence on the KS Half / 5150 bike and run courses?  I can only do it Saturday.  10:00 start to let it warm up a bit in the morning?

Pete will bring the beer.

What about late morning or early afternoon?  I have my daughter's first communion Sunday or I would propose that day.

Early afternoon may work.  Race starts at 8- I hope to be done by 11.  need to pack up and drive to Lawrence.  1 start work?? 3 hour ride- done by 4- have a couple "pops" and home by 6?  could grab a quick bite at 23rd street brewery after (only a few miles from Clinton)

I'd be down with a Sat. Afternoon ride, 3 hours worth.  I need to get some long ones in for sure.  I like the 1 PM start with Brews at 23rd Street idea.

Great!  Where do you want to meet?  At the outside parking lot to the south of the road into the park so we don't have to pay the park entrance fee?

I can't Saturday, but was thinking about making a trip up there for a ride Friday afternoon. Anyone else able to get away Friday around 12:30 or so?

Wish I could Friday, looks nice. I can do whatever on ejecting place. Outside building or in transition area, just let me know.

I propose leaving from the Corps of Engineers building parking lot.  When you are at the stop sign at the end of Clinton Parkway (where you turn left to go to the dam or right to go to the park entrance) turn right but take the first left (not the second left like you are going to the transition area/campground).  Once you take the first left and start heading west, take the first right and you will be at the Corps of Engineers building parking lot.  You can see what I mean if you Google Map it and zoom in on that area.  We can head out from there as close to 1:00 as we are willing to wait for people.

Jon, I could probably break free Friday, but I doubt 2 long rides in a row would be the best idea just yet.  Instead, I might get out Thursday afternoon because it is supposed to be perfect (no wind) and I would have a day's rest before Saturday's long ride.

Ryan and I will be rolling out of T1 at 10am Friday if anyone is interested. Maybe even some post ride Chipotle.

ok, plan on meeting at the corp building.  I think Reece is riding with me up there.  The race I am helping with starts at 8, so I see no reason I can't be in Lawerence ready to roll at 1.

35 mph winds on Saturday. Great race prep. Someone bring Pete a spare water. Be safe out there.

joncolbybohnsack - 2013-04-04 9:58 AM 35 mph winds on Saturday. Great race prep. Someone bring Pete a spare water. Be safe out there.

Oh, so just like KS 70.3 last year but 30 degrees cooler?  :-)  You aren't exactly supposed to have a calm day tomorrow, either.  That is why I am going to steal away from work this afternoon and enjoy a ride in calm winds for a change -- then just buckle down in the aero position for the ride Saturday.

I will have my TT bike with 4 bottles (1 aero, 1 on downtube, 2 on rear tail).  No more riding the roadie thinking I can just make it on 2.  That was miserable!  I guess I learned a lesson though.

Agreed, but 75 degrees vs. 95 degrees should help a bit with that.  (Hopefully)

Great!  I did a 35 mile ride yesterday which was my first on the roads and not on the trainer in about a month or so due to weather, work, vacation, etc.  I forgot how the hills can never truly be replicated on the trainer.  But not as sore today as I thought I would be.  Actually felt pretty darn good in the pool this morning.  I will get a swim in tomorrow morning so I will need to do a good job refueling before the ride.  I'm thinking donuts and bacon.

Great conditions today to start.  No winds, cool temps. By the end the winds picked up and the temps were still nice. Ryan was strong, and a poor performance by me.  First outdoor ride since October.  Did okay until the last dam(n) hill, both claves seized up and I had to make a decision....HTFU and take the chance of falling over in pain, or swallow my pride and hop off and walk the rest of the way up the hill.  Tough decision, but I live to fight another day.  Have fun tomorrow.

I think we are going to have the opposite conditions.  Stronger winds from the west to start then dying off during the ride.  "Dying off" being a relative term.

I havent decided if Im doing the KC Tri or the 5i50 this year but have never riden the IMKS course so this might be a good chance to get familar with it.  Looking at my schedule for the next 4 weeks this might be my only chance so I'm going to try and make it too.

I will be on a white Cervelo S2.

Glad it is finally warm!

Ouch, if you are still deciding on the KC Tri and 5150, you'll be paying through the nose...

Yes, props to Jon for busting out 50 miles on the first outdoor ride.  I would say it was pretty even trying to get a strong ride in and not having to HTFU to get back to the truck.  Great way to kick off long rides outside again!

If the winds are that nice on June 9th, it'll be a good day.

Have fun out there Saturday afternoon. I already have a 40 mile ride planned for the am, but hopefully I can make it to a group ride later this month or next with all of you.
