Time for the Wednesday ride!

It has been a warm, summery week this week. There’s a slight chance of afternoon thunderstorms today, but it looks like there’s a greater probability for wild weather slightly later in the week. So come on out and join us for the intermediate-paced Wednesday ride. We’ll plan on the usual loop up and around Lake Bryan, for a total of ~34 miles altogether.

Details will be the same as last week. Do make note that we plan to stop at several points along the route to regroup, including a stop at the Smetana gas station to refuel.

Come join the Wednesday ride!

It’s Wednesday, and so it’s time for another installment of the Wednesday Ride. There’s still a chance of more thunderstorms this evening, so use your best judgment when deciding whether or not to ride. I’ll plan on being present at the start no matter what. Otherwise, it’s the usual details for today.

We meet at 5:30 by the Flagpole, roll out at ~5:45, and if you’re running late let me know (before 5:20, e-mail rebeccmeister@gmail.com, otherwise my cell number is 480 734 fifty-five, thirty-five).

We’re still an intermediate-paced ride, structured as a series of sprints, averaging around 16 mph for 32 miles total (that will take 2 hours and change).  We regroup at the end of each section to make sure no one gets lost or left behind, and there’s a stop at a gas station partway in to refuel (ha!).  If you’re feeling frisky and reach regroup points fast, you can always add bonus miles by U-turning and doing additional laps.  Why not?

Wednesday Ride with Photos

It was wild having a bystander photograph the start to the Wednesday ride tonight. Normally I’m taking the pictures, so I’m not in any of them.

The Wednesday ride is an intermediate pace, intermediate difficulty ride about 36 miles long. Speeds vary — about 16-18 mph to start, and I suspect that slows a bit on the hills. I can’t keep that pace up for long, so I’m usually dragging behind by the time we get through Traditions and out to the Expo Center. I ride my slow and steady pace, occasionally cutting a rest short to get ahead for a little bit. The last two weeks, I’ve turned back early. Everyone’s been supportive of me being out there, which is much appreciated.

Wednesday Ride Love

We are all making hearts to show how much we love to ride, especially on Wednesdays!


If anyone knows Roger from chemistry, the photographer, assuming I got that name right, please forward him this post with a big thanks from the ride crew!
