Tuesdays 5/M,B/32
The Tuesday Evening Ride
Quick-paced hilly workout ride. We have separate M and B groups,
with separate leaders. The focus -- especially for the B group;
somewhat less for the M group -- is on intensity, hillclimbing,
sprinting, positioning, and drafting. Meet 5:30 p.m. sharp
at Spruce and Grizzly Peak Blvd, at the little plaza next to the
reservoir (not the bus stop benches) for 5:35 p.m. departure. We
arrive at Grizzly/Skyline approx 35 and 40 minutes after the
departure time (for the B and M groups, respectively) for those who
want to join there. To keep each group together yet still give
everybody a good workout, we have explicitly defined parts of the
course for easy, medium, hard, drafting, and regroups. Details
regarding this, and more, are posted on-line at http://www.grizz.org/series/berk-tue.html. Please read that if
it's your first time doing the ride. This ride runs from the first
Tuesday in April to the last Tuesday in September. RAIN
