Subject: Group ride on KS 70.3 course: May 3, 4, 10, or 11

I am looking completely free for a couple of rides on the Kansas 70.3 course anytime May 3,4,10, or 11.  Might as well start making plans now with backup dates if there is unreasonable weather.  So I will make the first proposals:

Saturday, May 3rd at 9:00AM from T1

and

Saturday, May 10 at 9:00AM from T1

Not tied to either of those, but just a starting point.  I can also do those Sundays.  We have done these many times in the past and if we get enough people we can usually satisfy everyone's pace needs.

So, who is in???  What are your available dates/times so that we can start comparing and find a good time for the most people.

I've got a HM on the 4th so I'm targeting the 10th, first thing in the morning - probably 7/8 am so I'm not gone all day with little kids at home particularly if I want to get a brick run in.

I'm also planning on riding the course on the 24th, the first Saturday after KCTri and before my taper starts.

Hope the weather cooperates. Hope training has been going well for everyone!

So the 10th is looking like a solid date.  Still would like to get out the weekend of the 3rd/4th, so let me know who is up for that weekend.

Mark and Pete -- You guys are welcome to set up in our spot at KS 70.3.  If you carpool, you can probably park there if you get tot he park early enough.

I am thinking about making the trip up for the ride, but curious as to what pace you will all be looking to keep.

Mark- let me know if you are interested in this.  I think I am free that entire day- so a cooler full of beer (on wheels) may be a good thing to drag to Patrick's spot!

I'm tentatively in. I'm supposed to be moving into our new house that weekend, but I think all of the work will take place on Saturday.

Jon, having said that, do you still want your share of the camping spot?  What about Brandon?  We can accommodate at least 4 cars (maybe 5) and I have a couple of other people interested.  But you have first option.

Let me talk to the wife. I will let you know this weekend. I think Brandon is racing in Madrid at the duathlon worlds. He and his wife qualified in Arizona last year at nationals.

Shoot- this is going to be a party.  Do we need to rent a party bus to haul us around?

Aaaaaa I need to reserve a camp site, I keep forgetting.

I can't do either of these dates proposed (half marathon and Tour de Cure weekends) but I would like to get out there some time before the race. Weekends slots are running out, when did it become the middle of April?

May 10 at 8:00AM looks like a go for now.

This is the DEPARTURE TIME, not the pull into the parking lot time.  I am the worst offender of the rule, but it is the rule, nonetheless.

Still need feedback on May 3/4 for those interested.

I am still in.  Who else?

Rode it yesterday and was reminded how much miles ~40-47 suck.

I think I can manage it. I think there's a Century ride that day though. I'd rather do 100 miles Did 73 yesterday with 3,500 feet of climbing. Miles 47-49 will not suck for me but I won't be averaging 22+ mph like Partick either ...

I averaged about 20.X mph last weekend, but that was the day after a 12 mile run and 2 days after a swim morning and 40 mile bike evening.  I was pretty depleted and bonked a little bit just before the damn hill.  Should be fresher Saturday.  However, we often ride from main intersection to main intersection and either loop back to pick up the pack or wait at the intersection.

Patrick usually does a lot of waiting for us normal folks.
