Jens Voigt was one of cylcling’s superstars. Mere mortals should have different expectations and needs of the body. While many of us want to push ourselves to achieve results, me must listen to what our body is telling us. Slow and heavy legs may be telling us we are over training. some professional cyclists recommend around 80% of your training should be endurance work, 20% interval training. During these short burst intervals is when you can yell back at your legs as they tear down and rebuild stronger. *When riding with us:* · wear helmets and ensure your bike is in good working order · stay in bike lanes and no more than two abreast on them; single file otherwise · not overlap wheels · descend carefully! Look out for debris, animals, potholes, tight bends, and slick spots · pass slower riders on the left · ride predictably: signal when changing lines and call out hazards · avoid bunching up · respect all traffic rules and the rights of motor vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians · Inclement weather policy: In the interest of safety, whenever it is either actively raining or the ride route has wet roads, it is our club policy to cancel a club ride. Club members may still choose to meet and ride in these conditions; however, the ride will not be considered an official club ride. -- Taylor Hodoose 805-390-2200
