Training

Every once in a while I get asked about what I put in my water bottles. Well the answer depends. If I am doing rides of less than 2 hours the answer will usually be water, just plain water.

Water is one of those amazing liquids, it expands as it freezes becoming less dense. That’s why ice cubes float! It is also one of the most easily absorbed drinks in the human body.

The folks at our local MS chapter have asked Jeff Viscount to run the Morrow Mountain ride again as an MS Training Ride for the 2008 Bike MS event. Jeff has told them yes but he will need some help… Jeff needs to staff three rest stops and provide 2 SAG’s.  If you can help please let Jeff know.

1. The time commitment is 7 AM until 2 PM on Saturday the 19th.
2. Not all volunteers will be needed for the entire day so if you can help but want to get out earlier than 2pm, Jeff can make that work.
3. SAG’s will be reimbursed for gas while roaming the course.
4. As always, a pick up truck moves you to the front of the line. 
5. The vertical climb is 4400 ft. if you ride. The vertical climb is zero if you help. 

If you want to help let Jeff know ASAP so he can finalize the plans.

It seems summer has hit us squarely between the eyes and every day is not a 90°+ day, with temperatures even approaching 100°. So how do you still ride and not be a casualty of the hot weather.
