Class for July 18: we will be meeting at 10am.
Meet at the Lake Andrea beach, across the lake from the RecPlex. The class will
meet in the grassy area next to the patio – there is usually a picnic table in
the grass that we use as our “base”.
Workout scheduled is a bike ride of the Danskin bike
course. I will bring a map/cue sheet for everyone, and we will stop at several
points along the way to discuss the course. For this first ride, I want
everyone to stay together.
You’ll need to bring your bike, bike helmet (REQUIRED), & water bottle (with water or sports
drink). No earphones allowed in class at any time.
You will also need equipment to deal with a flat tire. At
a minimum, you need to bring a tube of the proper size for your bike.
Ultimately you want a small tool kit (usually in a bag you can strap under your
seat) with spare tube, tire levers, and some way to inflate the tire – small pump
or CO2 cartridge inflator. I will have everything with me for this ride except
a tube for your particular tire – that’s why you need to bring one along.
If you aren’t sure about what tube you need, look on the sidewall of
your tire to find the tire size. This will look something like 700x23 on a road
bike (skinny tires) or 26x1.9 on a mountain bike (wide tires). If there is any
question, take your bike to a bike shop and they can help you out. Many of us
like Zion Cyclery in Zion; they have great customer service.
