How To: Plan and Execute a Group Training Road Ride Like a PRO!

Alright everyone ready to not really pay attention? Good.         GCN: Take notes, you're doing it wrong

First, before any discussion of a route, round up some people.

These cats seem pretty cool

Tell everyone: This will be the greatest ride




2: figure out somewhere to go which
-You haven't really been before
-Might get lost
-Only sort of know what to expect


               Take the second left then....


2.5: check the depressing and the optimistic weather forecasts
2.75: Completely disregard any information gained in step 2.5. RIDE ANYWAYS!  
                                                                 
Drizzle, an important and very technical meteorological term 


Three: Leave at some time that allows you to maybe get back before dark or get over your hangover

FIRST or fourth order is really unimportant here: Go RIDE your bike!

Whatever number we are on now: Discuss with the group and change the plan mid-ride, must include more adventures.

#1: BE AWESOME



11?: Seek some dirt or gravel (really this is explanation of the previous step)
                                                                                                 
Find signs like this     

12: End up somewhere you weren't expecting to go/didn't know existed/totally awesome/didn't know a you could ride a road bike to



13: Unintentionally possibly break a few anti-cycling regulations

"Where are we? Is this the AT?"


Shforteentenn: Document some of the stoke if you feel the need to.
(just don't use strava seriously)

Get home much much later in the day with a grand feeling of accomplishment and exhaustion.

Eat food, recovery beverages and get ready to do it again!


Snow storms, shmoww shmorms, lets go ride! 

Do everything just like this and I cannot guarantee anything on what kind of time you will have. Really just go ride, you'll have a much better day in the saddle than you would otherwise. 

Winter miles equal summer smiles!
