Despite the weather,  some impressive runs were still made this year.  Andrew…………… Todd would be proud, you beat his TT dream goal by 2 seconds!  Yes, WOW!!!!   Linnea and Earl show they are still fast, and John posted a personal best.  Nice job Guys!   Andrew and Linnea agreed to turn down any prize, and the 2014 and 2015 Rabbit Run budget funds were donated to SHIFTING GEARS.   I will continue to maintain the Rabbit Run History and a listing for the current year, but the trophy race is discontinued.    It will still be a chance to test your fitness on a known course, and compare your fitness to our younger selves and each other.  It gives a chance to race Todd as well.  Instead of a rewards program, those who make a run, and report to me by email (jimkempf2@hotmail.com), can get a t-shirt or cap by request, while the supply lasts.  I want to get the t-shirts out there, if you’ve made a run ever, and want another shirt or cap, just ask.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Curtis did us proud, taking 2nd in age group and 7th overall! 

I am Ride leader for a new ride at 6pm Sunday evenings, from Lincoln School.  It will be a chance for new riders to build road riding skills, and prepare for the speed of our regular club rides.  It will also be an outlet for regular riders, to throttle back, and share what they have learned, or  just enjoy a more relaxed pace.  I expect the rides to build from a 13-15 mph ave pace early in year, to an ave pace of 16-17mph by the time we reach the longest days of summer.  We will also build the length of the rides as we go.  This will be a no drop ride, but riders must be willing to learn how to draft off other riders.   Riders should be riding at least one other time per week, either alone, or as part of another ride.   So far, we’ve been splitting into a 11-13 mph beginner group, and a 16mph conversational group.  Course often runs a loop up County 43, allowing beginners to break off at points every couple of miles.
