Hi Team,

 

Well, since it is going to be too cold to get much of a positive training effect from the real BRR this year, we're going to do our second consecutive "Not so BRR" ride.

 

This year's Not So BRR is being hosted by Brian and Julie Clark. Their address is 13700 Lakeshore Drive in Clive. This is the same house where we held the 2008 Team Kick Off Party. The ride starts at approximately 10 AM and can go for at least a couple hours. You do not need to stay the entire time.

 

Here is how the Not So BRR ride works:

-You bring your bike, trainer/rollers, water bottle, just like training at Team Fitness.

-We will ride in the garage.

-You bring clothes that can be layered...it may or may not be cold when we start riding. It may warm up.

-Bring a snack you can share with your team mates---we'll have a food table.

-There will not be structured intervals, you just ride however you want.

-We'll watch videos...usually of bike racing, usually of the Tour.

-You can get on and off your bike whenever you want....again, this is a social, casual training event.

-Around 1130 AM we'll have lunch for all of us.

-If this is not tough enough for you, Julie and Brian said you can ride in their driveway!

 

We hope to see most of you at the Not So BRR. We know some of you have a history and tradition of riding the real BRR, and sub-20 temps will not deter you. Have a fun and safe ride, and dress warm!

 

Thanks to Brian and Julie for hosting the team!
