When: Wednesday April 1st, 5:00 PM
Where: Browns Edition, Cabin Coffee (now Tully's?)
What: Pre-race briefing about Frozen Flatlands, followed by 20 mile ride around the "Riverloop". Discuss the Flatlands courses, weather conditions, tactics, and teams. The ride will be at an easy to moderate pace, although some might want to do a few short intervals to wake up the legs for the weekend. Frequent regroups. This is a no drop ride.
Email spokanerocketvelo@gmail.com with questions.

Also, I see Baddlands has invited all clubs/teams to the customary course-preview ride: 10AM Saturday, precisely when I have to go to work. That figures  Actually I will probably be skipping the FF due to the difficulty in training lately and the substantial expenses of moving. Maybe I can be a volunteer, though  |

If it's raining or snowing we'll still meet over coffee and ride if it clears up afterwards.

We had about 12 for the team meeting and about 7-8 for the ride. It was great to see everyone out and so enthusiastic.
If anyones interested we should make it a weekly thing.

(USAC rule 4C4a) Thanks for the clarification Pat. I guess I've never paid attention to USAC rule 1A16.. And Pat, sorry about making you the exception to the rule about it being a "no drop ride". We don't know what happened, but somehow you stopped and disappeared after the Downriver golf course. Were you nature watching? |

No problem at all, Mike. I had my own agenda about how hard I wanted to ride (not very). I peeled off on Boone - I was anxious to get home so I could stand in my driveway in the snow and clean up my race bike. |
