If you’re the curious type, the average temperature for TNR so far has been 51 degrees. For the same period last year it was 63 degrees. Also, all year last year we had to reschedule 3 rides due to weather but cancelled none. So far this year we have already rescheduled two rides and cancelled two rides, ouch, depressed yet?
As for last Wednesday, the temperature was about 60 and we had 15 riders. Fast Freddie Anderson had the choice between The Bloomer Velodrome, Waterford and TNR and picked TNR. It paid off with a sprint win on #5. Alan went out hard from the front and got away with 600 meters to go, I think I was the only one to see this and jumped with Fred in tow, I could not close Alan down, but Fred finished the deal for a fine win. Alan did get his however, he had a great night. Jeff took the first sprint, he is fit. And Craig took the final prize with a strong finish coming into Mason despite Bradley Legris (on his last TNR after graduating with a Engineering Degree and on his way to Ann Arbor to work for Toyota) having a great head of steam. Terry Huntley who lived most recently in Flagstaff Arizona and prior to that Pocatello Idaho was in town and joined his first TNR. Terry will be attending graduate school this Fall and is a USA Cycling official.
Tomorrow’s forecast is warm, but like the past few weeks we have a threat of rain, but at 70+ we are riding barring lightning, so come on.
No talk of contests so far as all the attention has been on dodging the weather, but you know us, we are always thinking of ways to beat the hell out of each other and this year should be no different. Stay tuned.
The Tuesday Night Ride for more than three decades has been one of the few disciplined & well choreographed training rides for Mid-Michigan racing cyclist. The ride emphasizes high average speeds and race finishing skills.
