	It looks like this Saturday may be a washout. I'll be doing a century on Sunday from my house in Harrison if anyone is interested. The ride can start anytime...

	Rich, I'm planning to join Ron's ride out of SUNY at 7:00, and go further out to push the mileage up. Interested in that option? Brad...
302		Richard A Ruge richardruge@...	Jun 1, 2001 6:32 pm
	Brad, It's inviting. I'll know better Saturday night. I have this thing about not driving my car on weekends. For a 7am start I need to be pedaling by 6:25....

	... Yes, Lincoln is torn up. But at 200 miles, and the end of the ride within 1.2 miles, rather than the almost 4 miles it would take to continue down King...
304		Brad Kenyon kenyontrede@...	Jun 5, 2001 9:38 pm
	Rich, I'm thinking about the upcoming 200, and I have some curiosities that you might have answers for, if you've got the time and don't mind. When you were...
305		Nate Morgenstern nmorgenstern@...	Jun 5, 2001 10:13 pm
	Brad, If I can chime in, the amount of time on aerobars is dependent upon the terrain, i.e. flat to slightly descending, and the amount of time NOT drafting...

	Hi Group Do you really think it is safe to ride in Aero Bars with a bunch of riders you hardly know. I can touch my nose with my tongue, will that help me on...
307		bkwells@...	Jun 6, 2001 2:42 am
	... I don't think you need to ride with aero bars if you are in a pace line. I have used aero bars in the front of a pace line if the group really wanted to...

	We would like to remind you of this upcoming event. Double Century Training Ride Date: Saturday, June 9, 2001 Time: 7:00AM EDT (GMT-04:00) 125 miles, SUNY W2...

	I joined the club this year and am planning on doing the 200 and the ride this Saturday, but I have not yet done a ride from SUNY. Can anyone give me ...
310		Richard A Ruge richardruge@...	Jun 6, 2001 11:58 am
	Brad, I've yet to feel comfortable on aerobars. I have mini-aeros that I use to vary my hand positions. I don't spend much time in a true aero position....
311		Richard A Ruge richardruge@...	Jun 6, 2001 12:03 pm
	George, Take the Hutchinson Parkway north to the Lincoln Ave exit. Make a left off the exit onto Lincoln Ave. Follow Lincoln to the T intersection with ...
312		Greenberg, Danielle Danielle.Greenberg@...	Jun 6, 2001 12:47 pm
	Hello Group, I am planning on doing the double averaging at about 15-16 mph. I hope there are some other slower riders out there that will join me. If so, ...
313		bruce@...	Jun 6, 2001 2:00 pm
	... Danielle makes a good point here. Now is the time to start looking for other riders to ride with at your pace. I plan on riding at above 18mph. I know the...
314		Brad Kenyon kenyontrede@...	Jun 6, 2001 3:38 pm
	Tom, But can you wrap your tongue around your aero bar? I'm so skittish, I have troubled riding with more than one person, let alone in the aero position. Brad...
315		Brad Kenyon kenyontrede@...	Jun 6, 2001 3:38 pm
	Rich, Thanks for your comments. I find the aero bars a little goosey. Unintentionally going over my first manhole cover on them was startling, but actually no...
316		bruce@...	Jun 6, 2001 3:51 pm
	... I would not ride aero bars in a strong cross wind. ... seat post. Schubert is a first class idiot. He believes bicycles should weigh 100 pounds and that...
317		Brad Kenyon kenyontrede@...	Jun 6, 2001 4:01 pm
	Under ideal conditions, (cool, overcast, no wind, high energy [me] etc., etc.), I aspire to do 16 plus. In any case, I plan to start easy and go from there. ...
318		Davidlili@...	Jun 6, 2001 5:21 pm
	Brad, I recall that you started fast last year, and hung with the lead group way past 100 miles, met me at about 150 miles, as we coasted the final 50 miles in...
319		Brad Kenyon kenyontrede@...	Jun 6, 2001 9:11 pm
	Dave, Your recollections have a rosy glow. I recall the "coasting" part a little differently, but who am I to argue with a journalist. The lead group pulled...
320		Davidlili@...	Jun 6, 2001 9:33 pm
	Brad, I don't think I'm going to make it this year. Not enough miles in my legs, my knee is sore, and not sure I want to put myself through all that coasting...
321		chrisforce99@...	Jun 6, 2001 10:19 pm
	Hello Group I haven't put in too many long distance rides this year but I am riding almost every day and I plan on riding with the lead group. I can't make it...
322		Brad Kenyon kenyontrede@...	Jun 6, 2001 10:36 pm
	Nate, Thanks for the info. Did you adjust your saddle especially for your long ride? Intuitively, I'm inclined to slightly lower the nose of the seat, but I...
323		Brad Kenyon kenyontrede@...	Jun 6, 2001 10:36 pm
	Bruce, You've convinced me not to wear my wool jersey or put a lambs skin seat cover over my saddle. Brad...
324		Nate Morgenstern nmorgenstern@...	Jun 7, 2001 12:44 am
	Brad, I've toyed with the idea of very modestly lowering the nose of my saddle when expecting to spend long periods on the (mini) aero bars; however, I've ...

	Dave, Too bad. You'll be missed. (Especially on those uphill coasts.) Brad...

	Choosing the right clothing for the double century is important. The first temptation is to wear some sort of light jacket in the morning, since it is...
327		bkwells@...	Jun 8, 2001 1:35 pm
	I need to figure out how many cue sheets to print. Looks like we will not be rained out this time! Bruce...
328		Richard A Ruge richardruge@...	Jun 8, 2001 2:16 pm
	Bruce, See ya tomorrow. One other item of importance to bring on the double is lip balm. They do sunburn and dry out. Rich ... ...
329		Greenberg, Danielle Danielle.Greenberg@...	Jun 8, 2001 3:02 pm
	Unfortunately, I have family commitments so I won't make it tomorrow. Danielle ... From: bkwells@... [mailto:bkwells@...] Sent: Friday,...
