Extreme Veteran  648    Scottsdale |  Subject: MarQuee Half trainng ride - 3/6A couple of us are going to ride the MarQuee Half IM bike route this Sunday, 3/6. More specifics to come, but right now plans are to kick off at about 7am from the Tempe Beach parking lot on the west side of the park on Rio Salado, and ride the two (2) loops to hit the 56 miles. Ride your own pace - we will be somewhere between 17-19mph average for the duration. The more the merrier....... Patrick |

Extreme Veteran 648 Scottsdale | Subject: RE: MarQuee Half trainng ride - 3/6 Correct. The turn-around is a bit short of IM AZ turn. |

Extreme Veteran 648 Scottsdale | Subject: RE: MarQuee Half trainng ride - 3/6 Wwisler - To clarify (now that I re-read your post); The half IM dstance is a two-loop route. Each loop is 28 miles (14 miles out and back). It is not a single loop course. IM AZ is three (3) 37+ mile loops along the same route (but extends further up Beeline Hwy). Here is the route information: South on Rio Salado out of parking lot East along Rio Salado to McClintock (Hayden) North along McClintock (Hayden) to McKellips East along McKellips to Alma School North on Alma School to McDowell East on McDowell to Beeline Hwy North on Beeline Hwy to the Central AZ Project canal Turn around and go back Do that twice, and we are done! |

Expert 1028 Chandler, AZ | Subject: RE: MarQuee Half trainng ride - 3/6 The CAP Canal is not going to be a safe or easy place to turn around. On a closed course yes, but not on Sunday with the traffic. We may want to turn around at Gilbert or Shea. |

Extreme Veteran 648 Scottsdale | Subject: RE: MarQuee Half trainng ride - 3/6 azstaterick - 2011-03-01 12:26 PM The CAP Canal is not going to be a safe or easy place to turn around. On a closed course yes, but not on Sunday with the traffic. We may want to turn around at Gilbert or Shea. Good point Rick - I had not considered that. Maybe we can do both to keep the miles intact - first loop go to Shea (additional 4.6 miles past the AZ Canal each way), then second loop make the turn at Gilbert (2 miles shorter than the AZ Canal each way). The long/short loops would result in a 61 mile ride. I did another goof - mentioned the CAP canal, when the race turning point will be at the AZ canal, which is about 2-2.5 miles short of the CAP canal. Sunrise has been a bit before 7 lately, so plans are to meet up in the parking lot on Rio Salado (west side of Tempe Beach Park) and hit the road at 7:00 (so arrive as early as you need to stretch, air up tires, hydrate, etc). Feel free to look for me - I will be the guy with the bike. HA HA Edited by 101abp40 2011-03-01 3:22 PM |

Expert 937 | Subject: RE: MarQuee Half trainng ride - 3/6 I'll be there. I'm ok changing the route for safety. I just want to get my miles in and to ride the route. This will not be a haul ride for me at all, I'm guessing 16-17 mph/avg. |

Extreme Veteran 648 Scottsdale | Subject: RE: MarQuee Half trainng ride - 3/6 It looks like for the race, the half turnaround will be close to the AZ canal, which is about 2-2.5 miles past Gilbert Rd. For a 60 mile ride, our first loop will go to Shea, then the second loop would go to Gilbert (or something like that). Patrick |

Expert 937 | Subject: RE: MarQuee Half trainng ride - 3/6 Thank you so much for organizing this. I think we should plan another ride in 2 weeks. It was so nice to ride with people that are at my speed and meet some more BT folks. Sorry to hear that Rick wasn't feeling good and that Javamom had a flat. I think it was a good group this morning and we had great weather except that wind up the hill. We rock! Edited by phxphotog 2011-03-06 6:28 PM |
