Our mission

The Mason Michigan 'Thursday night ride' or the (aka Funtyme) for more than a decade has been one of the few disciplined well choregraphed training ride around for local and visiting MASS START racing cyclist to attend. Unfortunately, attendance has been poor over the past two years. One reason for this is the Thursday ride is so intense that most cyclist can not attend it and effectively recover for weekend races. We are currently moving the Thursday ride to Tuesday in an attempt to increase participation. This blog functions to inform cyclists of these changes and any additional happenings with our 'Tuesday Night World Championships'.

The Tuesday Night Worlds is a 40 mile loop, high quality road bicycle training ride around Mason Michigan, over flat and rolling terrain. The ride is a group pace line effort to simulate race speeds, which culminates in 5 sprints throughout the loop. After each sprint we regroup, recover briefly while spinning and repeat the fun. The benefit to RACERS is the chance to learn and practice high average speeds and race finishing skills. Speeds average 22-24 mph with lows of 16 mph and highs of 38 mph.

We hope you will come out for our first 'Tuesday' ride on March 16th 2010 at 6pm. We meet in Mason Michigan in the Church of Christ parking lot at the Southeast corner of College Rd and Cedar Rd. This first ride will be slightly shorter (30miles and 1.5 hours) to help us avoid getting stuck in the dark and will be no drop.
