Weekday Training Ride - 7/8/2014

Make plans to join the team this Tuesday, July the 8th for the seventh episode of "UBD Tuesday Night Training Ride - Riverfront Edition". 

We will gather at the Riverfront trailhead (Biddle St & N Leonor K Sullivan Blvd Saint Louis, MO 63102) by 5:30 PM and plan to be rolling by 5:45 PM.  There is construction near the Arch grounds, so allow yourself extra time to get there and do be certain to let me know if you are coming. 

• We try hard to keep the Tuesday night ride, especially, comfortable for everyone.  Fast, slow, young, old - the Tuesday night ride has been a popular weeknight training option for several years now.  While not exactly a "no drop" ride, our faster and more experienced riders are happy to dart ahead and circle back.

• The full route will be about 27 miles and relatively flat.  We will be doing an "out and back" configuration on a dedicated bike trail (no roadways) so riders just getting their legs this year should feel comfortable turning around at any point without fear of being alone.

• Attendance has been steady this year.  We had 14 last week (though only 13 riders)!

• Since there is IS a Cardinal's home game this week, we will conduct our post-ride wrap-up at Joey B's on the Hill.  (http://joeybshill.com/)   If you can't ride, feel free to join the group about 8:30 PM.    

Below are links to Google maps for the meeting place.  We will continue to hold weekday training rides every Tuesday and weekend training rides on Saturday mornings throughout the summer until the 2014 Bike MS: Express Scripts Gateway Getaway on September 6th & 7th. Make sure to follow the United by Design blog for more information or join the Team UBD Facebook Group  to stay up-to-date on all the team happenings.
