Members found the course to have some challenges. The wind was unique to the course. The crosswind across the hay field slowed the direction of travel in both directions. The course was mostly north and south on one road.

The temperature was close to 90 Degrees. The humidity level was approximately 90%. This would also slow speeds. The higher humidity level increases air resistance.

In August we will try for a Time Trial on the Box in Middleboro, which is Precint, Thompson, Summer, and Plain streets.

Thanks for coming! I appreciate everyone’s hard work.20160722_185926

Judy and Pam get ready for RAGBRAI

Judy and Pam are getting ready for RAGBRAI.  Judy and Pam lead our women’s g13613393_1373208042695138_7464913637469851667_oroup.  Pam works on teaching paceling and ride etiquette.  Arvella rode with them on a 50 mile practice run, yesterday.  RAGBRAI is a giant ride across Iowa.  On July 25th they ride across all of the great state of Iowa.  Judy will take lots of pictures.

I am sure that there will be a picture of their stop in New York, Iowa.  Go to the RAGBRAI website to learn about their route.  They also have gravel route options!

We have been suffering through a tough week.  Where is the sun?  or the heat?  Tuesday had Tornado watches and lightning from small weather cells.  Wednesday evening had the torrential downpour during ride time while the middle of the day was gorgeous.  Each morning has been cold with temperatures in the 30s and 40s.  Where is June?

We will have a 30 mile ride from Furnace Brook Middle School in Marshfield on Saturday.  Ride time is 9 AM.  The B Group will leave from Halifax at 8 AM.  B group will roll for approximately 55-60 miles.  We will have a coffee stop for all at French Memories in Duxbury.
