Team Christner Get out to Windsor Day

posted Jun 29, 2011 8:17 PM by Bryan Sechrist

This year’s weekend weather has not been supportive of our traditional Saturday rides from Windsor Crossing Church. We are working on correcting that problem.

We will start our July rides at 7:30 AM. On July 30, we will have our Last Saturday of the Month ride from the Hub.

We’ve been thinking that some riders may feel that they need to be a fast to participate in the Windsor rides. True, there are riders that like a fast pace, but there are many on the team who also enjoy a more relaxed rate. This Saturday we’d like to see a wider variety of riders join us. Therefore, this Saturday, July 2 will be Team Christner "Get out to Windsor" Day

What does that mean? First, if you haven’t ridden from Windsor Crossing before we’re encouraging you to come out and give it a try. Yes, there are some awesome hills, but with the support of your fellow riders, they can be conquered. Furthermore, hill training will make the MS 150 ride route a piece of cake (the “that that which doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” theory). Second, we’re going to try to get folks organized by ability and into groups. That way we can have a better chance at achieving a "no-drop" ride format and helping riders find partners for the MS ride itself. Third, if you are worried about getting lost, we will have maps, trade cell numbers and have breadcrumbs to drop along the route.

The general idea is to ride from Windsor to the Pavilion at Greensfelder Park. We will try to break up by expected pace and regroup at the pavilion to plan additional riding for the day. Some will probably elect to return to Windsor, others may head to Route 66 State Park, Fox creek or Hunter's Ford. The goal is to get more team members out and help people get to know each other and work together.
