Cyclists,

Saturday is our umpteenth annual Summer Picnic at Valerie Connaughton’s pad in bucolic, historic Mooresville, AL.  Her house is on Market Street, immediately off of Old, Old Highway 20.  The picnic will be at the community pool, immediately behind her house.  Festivities start at about 1:00 to 1:30 PM after the morning rides.  (See Below.)

Directions:  To get to Mooresville, take the Mooresville Exit from I-565.  Head south towards the river.  When Mooresville Road T’s into ancient, unused Highway 20, turn right, then left onto Market Street.  Valerie’s house is first on the right.

SCCC will provide BBQ pork and chicken, beans, slaw, rolls, HUSHPUPPIES, plates, cups, utensils, ice, soft drinks, some side dishes, shade tents, fans, and (hopefully) all of the TT coverage from the TdF.  (Provided the UCI does not disqualify Floyd Landis’ balls as an illegal performance enhancement or aerodynamic aid.)

Feel free to bring beer, desserts, or other side dishes (plus a means to serve it and deter flies.).

Bring a hat, swim trunks, sunscreen, chair and I high tolerance for heat.  It gets hot on that pool patio.

Rides of varying lengths and speeds will begin at Valerie’s house beginning at 7:30 AM:

Ride-A-Metric Training Ride - Nuke Plant – 40miles, 12 – 14 pace. 8:30am start time. Ride Leader Andy Brown, 604-9219

Nuke Plant Ride – 54 miles, 15-17 pace. 8:30 AM start time. Can you say FLAT? Ride Leader Sharon Bayler, 830-5956, sharon@...

Hostess Ride – Mooresville - Elk River – Athens – 67 miles, peppy no hammer pace (18-20). Hilly between 28 and 39 miles, no steep climbs. Start time: 7:30am. Stops: 2 (Elk River and Athens). Ride Leader and Party Hostess Valerie Connaughton, 337-1947, valeriec@...

We’ll see you in Mooresville!

We time that climb everytime we do it on our tandem. Your mother must be a pretty good rider because it takes us over 12 minutes, actually more like15 when it iis at the end of a long ride or on a very hot day. But then we are older than your Mom and tandems hate hills. (Tandem riders too!)

Subject: [sccc-roadies] Wednesday Night ride

We had a nice turnout for the Wednesday night ride last week, so I’m doing it again tonight.   

It starts downtown at the park across from the Holiday Inn on Williams Avenue.   Since daylight can be an issue, we will launch as close to 5:30 PM as possible.

We’ll try to keep it rolling so we can keep the total time under two hours.

The Sunset Loop is 30 miles and includes a climb over Cecil As(s)hburn (Four Mile Post for us old-timers who have lived here since ‘03.)

We had some distress last week when two riders did not realize that Four-Mile Post is Cecil Ashburn.  They required some talking to get them to consent to doing the “unannounced” Climb.  So here it is:  There is a one-mile climb on this ride.  It is steep, but it is only one mile.  On a bad day, my mother can do it in about 12 minutes.

Anyway, please come out tonight and enjoy an alternative to the Tuesday/Thursday flatland hammer-fests.  I’d love to get enough folks to have both a fast group and a regular group.

See y’all at 5:30.

I have a never-worn medium SCCC skinsuit, the newer light gray and
blue (three mountain) version, I'll sell for $50.

Ivan Basso and Francisco Mancebo joined Jan Ullrich on the sidelines
of the Tour de France after organisers dumped two of the race's top

morning when Tour director Christian Prudhomme announced the exclusion

I emailed earlier about our 2 day Criterium and Roadrace in Sylacauga on
June 24th and 25th. Due to inability of USCF to provide officials, we have
had to cancel the road race portion and will put on the Criterium on the
24th. Please forward this notice to your friends please. We are sorry for
the inconvenience. We have combined our prizes to make the Criterium
better. You can still register at Active.com  search for Chalaka or
register the day of the race.....

I got this from an old friend today. He makes a point  that I agree with, I
told him I'd try and see that SCCC members saw it. I know  that we, as
cyclists, have the legal right to use a lane. But even a squirrel  has
sense enough to
know who loses when you get run over.

Subject: Ride  Etiquette




In 30+ years of  being an active cyclist I've done and seen some pretty
stupid riding behavior,  but yesterday (06/07/06) on the way home from work I
witnessed a new low. I  passed two cyclist riding side by side doing interval
training on Hobbs Island  Rd. during rush hour. These guys weren't
oblivious to the
amount of traffic -  they just didn't care. I pulled over at the yacht club
and tried politely and  unsuccessfully to get them to stop so I could ask
them
if they were trying  to die. After I got home, I went out in the front yard
and waited for these guys  to come by to see if I could get their attention.
They were still riding two  abreast and still doing intervals when they
passed by
(I live midway  between S. Parkway and Hwy 431) and of course they ignored me
and the 8 - 10  cars/trucks stacked up behind them. This isn't the first time
I've seen blatant  disregard for traffic by riders riding two abreast on two
lane,  high-traffic, rural roads in the area but it was the most dangerous
example.

These kind of riders  can raise more negative public awareness for cycling in
one afternoon than can  be offset by a whole years worth of public awareness
campaigns by the rest of  the cycling club. Every cyclist should be outraged
by this type of riding  behavior since we have to share the road with the
drivers that these guys are  p*ssing off. When I was active in the club, good
riding etiquette was  widely practiced and handed down to younger or less
experienced riders/racers.  We would have packs of 15-20 riders out
training and with a
simple shout out of  "car back" we would be single file in just a few
seconds. Is the club still  practicing this through the leadership of ride
captains,
experienced racers  & riders, peer pressure, etc., etc.? You may feel like
I'm
over reacting on  this but if these guys had been mowed over by a tandem axle
dump truck  - every witness (and there would have been many) would have said
they had it  coming. I don't want the driving population of Huntsville /
Madison County  gunning for me or any other cyclist worse than they
already are. I
know there's  not a lot any of you can do about this situation but I hope
you'll continue to  stress to the local cycling community that each and every
rider has  an obligation to ride courteously and responsibly.

  Hello-

We've got all the details for our guest speaker in June all lined up!

On Thursday, June 22 Elk River Cycling in Fayetteville, TN will be hosting
a guest speaker that I thought your club would find interesting. Josh
Poertner is a design engineer from Zipp (www.zipp.com) and former Euro
racer. He will cover myriad topics, such as:

    - The truth about all things aerodynamic, and how everybody
    manipulates things to convince you to buy stuff.
    - The truth about carbon fiber, and all the ridiculous myths exposed.

    - And finally, what it's really like living with and travelling with
the Euro pros and mechanics at the big races.

I'm writing to you to extend the invitation to you and your club members
to join us for a night of camaraderie, food and fun, and Q&A. The cost to
your club members will be $5 per person which will include food and a
drink.

If you can mention this to your members at your next meeting or by email
that would be great. I think everyone will really enjoy hearing Josh
speak.

Directions:
http://national.citysearch.com/profile/9352565/?brand=smx_restaurant-nc

If you have questions please email Clay or Steve at this address or call
931.433.3448

We hope you can join us,
  Clay
