[GW] Sat GW Mens Team Ride

[Lynne]

My email is seriously screwed up-I'm getting emails on this topic back to the 1st-TODAY.  So my reply is a bit late, but here goes... 
   
  I saw Lee tonight-sounds like the Thurs rides are typically lower intensity?  If so, that's a good thing.  To be blunt-I'm not interested in hunting down other teams/groups to ride with. In my opinion, that's why you join a team.  Otherwise, I might as well go U/A. (Don't get me wrong-Lee had a good suggestion and I plan to supplement rides with some other resources/groups out there).
   
  Having said that, am I alone in wanting to see more support for developing members?  I want to see more lower-level drill work like sprints and practice pace-lining it, as well as shoving my way into the line where I want to be to keep position toward the front.  Cornering in a larger group and what line I'm expected to take when caught in various positions at the corner.  The best place to be coming into the corner, and how to fight to have it.  Races aren't won timidly sitting at the back, but most of this stuff is not intuitive and that's where you end up when you don't know enough.
   
  I know it's earlly-possibly all of these types of development rides come later in the season.  But the road racing season is already upon us; yeah, you learn most everything in a race situation, but some of the things I mentioned are much better learned before you take someone out with a stupid move.
   
  You give me the opportunity, I'll be there, but I'm not sure if I'm alone in needing this.  
   
  Anyway, my two cents worth as a new/developing member.
   
  Cheers,
  Lynne

Route to be determined. 3-4 hours with some speed play the plan so far. We could ride to Ramsey beach for a second starting point, or head towards Afton. 

I think I've got everyone. Mr. McKinney did I get you email right? 

See you Saturday,

Bergstrom
