As per Chris' email, keep it simple- advanced riders will have places to through in a few intervals, but the group will stay mostly together. Those with new or borrowed bikes can use this opportunity to get more familiar with your ride and controls! Those without bikes can ride indoors at a moderate pace for 30-60 minutes. Thursday will be our hill ride, but the hil... http://www.drexeltriteam.org/Practices/55-Tuesday-Night-Run-600.html In addition to the 9am Saturday runs, City Sports hosts a 6pm Tuesday run that I will be doing this week. Participants recieve 20%off purchaces made before and after the run, and often recieve free merchandise from sponsors, often along the lines of running socks, shirts, shorts, hats, etc. The run accommodates all levels of runners, and groups split into different distances and speeds (often 5k, 5mile, and 10k groups, though members will run longer if asked). Leaves from City Sports at 1603 Walnut street e... http://www.drexeltriteam.org/Bike/54-West-River-Drive-Rides.html Hi Team! At last night's swim practice I mentioned that I'll be leading an easy bike ride at 8am on Saturday, on West River Drive (MLK) by the Spring Garden bridge near the Art Museum. West River Drive is closed, so it's a perfect place to ride in the morning. Orlin is leading a ride from the same place and time with T3, a local triathlon club for those of you that would like to get some more mileage in and meet some more local triathletes. I myself am racing the next morning, so I'm jus...
