Jim, Eric, Sorry I missed your email prior to Mount Joy ... I was out of town (spring break).  I think we had a jersey that would have fit Eric.  Hope Eric enjoyed the race.

 

Happy to keep Eric (and you) on the Jrs email list and share the (non-binding) sense of affiliation  ... Let me know, though, if you'd like to drop.  Cheers,

Thanks for the info.  I noticed you included Eric as racing for the NCVC junior's squad at Mt. Joy.  He thinks this is pretty cool and is proud to be considered part of the team.  My only issue is that I didn't sign up for a family membership since he didn't race when I joined NCVC, and as I mentioned before it now turns out that we're moving from the area this summer.  Consequently, he doesn't have a jersey so he can represent NCVC at Mt. Joy.  I'd be happy to purchase a junior jersey for him, but don't want to step on any toes since he is not technically a 'member' of NCVC.  Standing by for any inputs you may have.

1. COFFEE SALES First, extreme kudos to the Gaudaen family for masterfully running our sponsor Jittery Joe’s coffee sales at last weekend’s Tyson’s Circuit race. Thank you Larry, Jan, Steven and Jimmy. And also thank you Alex Lindeman for helping with sales.  We made approximately $500.  The funds will be used to help defer the costs of travel to out of District Juniors races — the Can-Am, Nationals, and perhaps others.  There are several upcoming events where we will also have coffee sales — Poolesville, Bunny Hop, (later) Ed Sanders memorial — and perhaps others.  Let me know if you can volunteer to help with coffee sales.  If you’d like a case of coffee to sell (cans are $5, we sell them for $10), contact Pete Lindeman on this list, at pete@... or (703) 349-2344.
2. MOUNT JOY ROAD RACE The next prospective Juniors-grade race is the Mount Joy Road Race in Pennsylvania, near Harrisburg.  See the registration web site at http://www.bikereg.com/events/register.asp?EventID=2960.  Mount Joy is an out-of-district event (no MABRA points), but it looks like fun — a “5.7 mile circuit on well-maintained country roads.”  It is also a Lance Armstrong Junior Olympic Series race, so medals are deep and you can earn LAJORS points.  Juniors race 6-17 miles, depending on age.  I think Eric Stratton, a new 10-14 junior, and Zack Allison are planning to race Mount Joy.  Hit this list if you’d like to exchange information, share rides, etc.
3. WEDNESDAY AFTER SCHOOL TRAINING RIDE  Our usual Wednesday after-school training ride with Sue Hefler will launch from Spokes/Vienna at 4 pm on April 12.  As many of you know, this is a very good session, with hill repeats, paceline work, sprint practice, etc.  It is also quite taxing, with 2+ hours in the saddle.  You should be a strong rider to participate.  Nathan will be out of town; contact this list or Sue Hefler at shcoaching@... to confirm your participation or exchange notes.
4. FRIDAY RIDE W/ALEX HEYMANN  As you saw from a previous note, Alex Heymann would like to organize a ride this Friday, April 7, with other Juniors.  Contact this list or or Alex at alexheymann88@... to connect and do some training.
5. REGISTER FOR BUNNY HOP (LAJORS), BIKEJAM (LAJORS)  You should register for two  upcoming Juniors races — Bunny Hop in Suitland, MD, and BikeJam in Baltimore, MD.  Both are in district races, and part of the Lance Armstrong series.  Bike Jam has a lot of other non-race stuff connected to it, e.g., longer touring rides in Baltimore.  The registration sites are: Bunny Hop - http://www.bikereg.com/events/register.asp?eventid=3225; BikeJam - http://www.bikereg.com/events/register.asp?eventid=3336.
6. REGISTER FOR CAN-AM (LAJORS)  You should register for the Can-Am U19 Challenge, to be held on May 20-21.  This is an out-of-district event, about an hour from New York City.  Register for the event at: http://www.bikereg.com/events/register.asp?EventID=3091.  Can-Am is a three-race omnium, with great venues.  NCVC will provide partial reimbursement for travel expenses, and I will be organizing a race caravan (transportation).  Let me know if you plan to attend.
7. GREENBRIER CHALLENGE (MTB), WINTERGREEN ASCENT (LAJORS) Greenbrier is an age-graded mountain bike race over a challenging course, near Frederick, MD.  Cyclocross Mentor and photo maestro Kevin Dillard will be there, as will Matt Keiper and other juniors. Register at: http://www.bikereg.com/events/register.asp?eventid=3165.  If you’ve got great legs (aerobically), you may want to consider the Wintergreen Ascent race, outside of Charlottesville, VA.  It’s a 7-mile burner up the mountain, to the ski-area top finish.  Register at: http://www.bikereg.com/events/register.asp?eventid=3165 ... Note:  Wintergreen is on the same day as NCVC’s Poolesville race.
   

Okay, that’s a lot of information.  Thank you very much for gluing together as a squad and riding so well.  If you have spring break, find some time to get some good miles under your belt this week, to build endurance and strength for those madcap 30-minute crits and longer events.  On April 21, we’ll begin Friday night training rides at Hains Point, 6-7 pm, weather permitting.

I’ve posted race reports at http://www.ncvc.net/juniors/ncvc_jr_results.html.  These are informal write-ups; if I’ve missed something, made a mistake, or you’d like to file a report (please do), drop me an email.

Ride safe ... Have fun,

p.s. -- Spain was awesome -- exceeding every expectation -- great rides, good accommodations, strong efforts by Nathan, Avery and Carolyn (and I lost 5 pounds!).  I'll be putting up a training report/pictures in a couple days.

Hi Jim-- welcome back! How was the trip?

 

Zack had an exciting race day at Mount Joy. He took 3rd in the Cat 5 men's race, and 1st in the 17-18 Juniors (by about 5 and a half minutes!). What should he do about a race report? Isn't there a form or something? We are unsure what he's supposed to do.

Hi Susan and group,

Yes it is happening on May 6. It's posted on the NCVC website but not
as yet available on BikeReg. I'm not sure what the delay is, but my
guess is that there might be a small hitch or two they are waiting to
resolve before accepting registrations.

I have not heard anything and it seems like if it were happening - it
would have been announced.

I'm not sure if this will help anyone out, but here's a link to my
public training profile. You can see actual workouts and logs. Note
that I commute by bike daily and use these as an opportunities to
train. It might give you an idea of an average training plan.

http://www.trainingpeaks.com/publicview.asp?p=billshelton

I made up a lot of the routines based on previous coaching with CTS
and Joe Friel's book. Some of the weight stuff, like Hindu Squats, I
do not do because they're hard on my knees. But I still do most of the
other stuff.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Subject: [ncvc-jrs] Juniors Training routines -- dialog

Folks,

I’ve had a few people ask me about training routines — what they should do as an NCVC Junior.  My philosophy is that, for our developmental squad, training is self-directed:  Set your goals, check your available time, and cycle as much as you can — low-intensity Zone 2 work for beginners, and more arduous effort as you advance.  Some juniors go all out, and are working intensely with professional coaches.  The Wednesday rides with Sue Hefler are samples of this type effort.  Soon we’ll also have Tuesday night sprints and Friday Hains Point rides.

I recently forwarded a thoughtful email from Bill Shelton, a junior parent discussing his personal efforts, on the long-term perspective it takes to be an excellent racer.  For myself, I recently had a VO2-max test to gauge my fitness and set a baseline for training.  I’m at the start of  my “season” — a few races, junior rides and centuries, and lots of riding/commuting to work.  My fitness tested well, but I have a low aerobic threshold — my body doesn’t provide power very efficiently.

My coach told me to start Zone 2 program, where my heart rates is between 120-140 BPM.  I am to do a four-week stair step cycle like this:  Week 1 — ride 8 hours in Zone 2 (with occasional 20-minute bursts of Zone 3-4); week 2 — ride 9 hours; week 3 — ride 10 hours; Week 4 — ride 8 hours; followed by a four week cycle of 10-11-12-10 hours per week, then 12-13-14-12 hours per week.  Then I’ll get re-tested, and set the next course.

As a junior, you may want to try something like this, perhaps starting with a 3-4-5-3:5-6-7-5:7-8-9-7 set of cycles.  No matter what you do, I recommend that you log your daily/weekly activity and results working towards your goals.  To help, you can buy a training log at a book store or bike shop, or you can sign-up for an online log via: http://www.fitness-concepts.com/NCVClog.htm (I find the web site log is sort of complicated).

What are your thoughts?  What is the level of training you plan to take on?

Regards,
 

Jim

Thank you Larry, Jan, Steven and Jimmy. And also thank you Alex Lindeman for helping with sales.  We made approximately $500.  The funds will be used to help defer the costs of travel to out of District Juniors races — the Can-Am, Nationals, and perhaps others.  There are several upcoming events where we will also have coffee sales — Poolesville, Bunny Hop, (later) Ed Sanders memorial — and perhaps others.  Let me know if you can volunteer to help with coffee sales.  If you’d like a case of coffee to sell (cans are $5, we sell them for $10), contact Pete Lindeman on this list, at pete@... or (703) 349-2344.
2.

If any fellow mountain bikers were thinking about going to Tsali this
weekend, but didn't want to do the 8 1/2 hour car ride by themselves,
you're in luck.  Matthew and I are planning to leave Friday afternoon,
time is negotiable depending on your schedule. We have campground
reservations at Tumbling Waters Campground, which you're welcome to
share with us.  Junior Expert race is at 1:30 Sunday afternoon.

We're looking for another person to help share driving and gas.

From El Presidente ... Maybe you guys can think of another location for a

Mt. Vernon park/mansion) has a pretty good, 1.5 Km oval.

Go for it ...

Alex and Jim,

      I'm not sure this week is a good week to start a Friday ride on Hains
Point.  With the cherry blossoms still hanging around the Tidal Basis and
Hains Point, there are still a lot of tourists and traffic in that area.
That is one reason why I haven't announced the resumption of the Thursday
night lap nights we do in  the spring and summer.  I do a lot of riding on
the Point during the week, but have avoided it since the cherry blossoms
appeared.  I would definitely advise waiting a week before something like
this is started.

      Myron

Folks, Below is a note from Alex Heymann, who you may not have met.  Alex is
a very strong 18 year-old rider.  He is trying to organize a ride for
Friday.  Reply to this list (ncvc-jrs@yahoogroups.com) and/or Alex
(alexheymann88@...) if you'd like to do a ride like he describes, or
have an idea for another ride/time.  Alex has a great idea.

With Nathan and Avery, I'm going to be out of town from Thursday, April 6 to
Sunday, April 16 (spring break/bicycle camp).  I'll post a note Thursday on
upcoming events (e.g., Mount Joy), but for the most part you should look to
the list to organize stuff for the near time.

Regards,


Jim

Mr. Wilson,

               I was thinking about organizing a ride on Friday around 6
30ish at hains point or anywhere else u think that is better for us juniors
to practice pace and attack maneuvers and some good bike handling skills. I
hope we can pull through with this, also i want to apologize for not being
there on sunday to represent. I play lacrosse and that whole week i had shin
splints and i couldnt walk much less get on my bike so i was recovering. So
if you would be so kind to shoot me an e-mail back with your oppinion about
this ride and also to see if you can let EVERY SINGLE JUNIOR KNOW ABOUT IT.
thanks

Alex

Jim,
  
 
Thanks for the info about the Haines Point rides.  We'll definitely  try and make them since Dad could use always use some laps as well!   We're down near Quantico so it is a bit of a trip, but I participated in the  Cabruce series this year so I know we can do the same for Eric.

Jim,
 
 
 
Thanks for your input, Pete did email me and I will talk with him  about Eric.  I really wish we could add Eric to the junior's list,  however a major impediment is that we are moving to the Northwest part of  the U.S. this summer.  We'll only have been here one year (a lot  shorter than we anticipated), but since we are a military family these  moves are all too familiar.  Its too bad for Eric because I think  he'd enjoy the sport and I hope to continue it with him out west.
  
 
Thanks again,
 
Jim

Jim,  Pete Lindeman may have a bike on tap. With a little more time  (I'm leaving town Thursday) I'm pretty sure we could get something  for Eric. How
tall is your son?

Should I add Eric/you to our  Junior's list? It would be great to have another 10-12  y.o.

Susan Hefler, the woman who leads the Wednesday afterschool ride from Spokes in Vienna can't do it on Wednesday so she is bumping it up to tommorow (Tuesday).  The ride will leave from Spokes in Vienna at about 4:30 tommorow afternoon.  Last time we had a crew of four or five and worked on hill repeats, pace lines, and sprinting.  We will most likely be working on similar things this time.  E-mail (nate1wilson@...) or call (703-338-9622) if you want to join this ride so I have an idea of who to expect so we can wait up if you're running late.  I will be riding out from Arlington as soon as I get home (~3:40) to get there on time, so if you want to join me just let me know that so I can meet you somewhere (in addition to letting me know about joining the ride period).

Thanks,
Nathan
