This Sunday morning at 5:30AM Renee Crawford is organizing a bike ride at south mountain. If you haven’t been riding, it’s time to get out on the road. Renee can you post directions and where you want everyone to meet?
Afterwards at 1pm at Cactus Pool, Joe has volunteered to help people out with their swim. For most people I think this will be the toughest part of the race. Make sure to get out and get a few tips from Joe. He’s an excellent swim coach. The daily cost for the pool is $3.
We can make this a regular part of our training leading up to the race. If you plan on making either one or both training sessions, please post so Joe and Renee will know how many people to expect.
Hope to see all of you guys out there!
South Mountain is located at the end of Central Ave. Here is an address if you want to map it out: 10919 S Central Ave, Phoenix, AZ85042.
Once you enter the park (first guard building) make a left. Follow this road to the big parking lot. I will be there with some other people at 5:30. The round is about 15 miles round trip with rolling hills. Make sure you bring water. It is an out-and-back, so you do not have to do the full 15 miles.
SM is a great place to start riding if you are not comfortable with the open road. It will not be silent Sunday but we will be there early enough that the traffic will be light.
Come out! Wish I could join you guys for the swim (my favorite part of the tri).
Let me know if you are coming so i know who to look out for.
ReplyI am down for both the swim and the bike ride. I am borrowing a bike for the race, so for this ride I will be rockin’ my track/fixie bike…maybe I will change it to freewheel for a 15 mile ride
