Helpful video on cycling skills

Came across this link, posted by our friends at Ghisallo Sports. It has a bunch of clips by Chris Carmichael (Lance Armstrong's coach) dealing with all sorts of training tips -- hydration, drafting, etc. Scroll to the bottom of the menu. He also posted a century training plan. Here is the link:

Clayton Bike Trail Meeting

I posted this last month -- On Thursday, Nov. 29 there will be a study to examine a trail system connecting Clayton, Brentwood, Maplewood, and Richmond Heights. This would obviously be of great benefit to both bike commuters and recreational cyclists on campus -- especially if it helps us avoid Big Bend and Clayton Road as much as possible. There will be a public forum held at The Heights (Dale Ave east of Hanley in Richmond Heights) on Nov. 29 at 7:00pm. I will be attending, if anyone wants to go let me know and we can share a ride.

Thursday Group Ride

3-4 Hour Group ride leaving from Luther Statue at 1pm - tomorrow, Thursday, November 15. Break out the tights & windbreakers - it's going to be chilly (42 degrees) and windy (20 mph).

Group Ride Nov 10

We're meeting up at 1:30 on Sat, Nov 10 for a couple hours of hills. Meet up, as always, at Luther Statue.
