Summer CyclingWorkouts

 

Sat & Sun:  Group ride @ 10am.  We will be departing from Le Petit Outre (the corner of 4th & Myrtle) instead of Bernice's.  (It is just a block away and visible from Bernice's so if you forget you will still see the group)  This ride can vary greatly w/ time, distance, and effort.  The bigger groups we have, the more likely smaller groups will form as we go based on fitness and workout needs.

 

Monday:  Recovery ride, 6pm @ Missoula Bike Works.  This is a shorter, casual pace ride geared to recovery and is a great ride for newbies or those looking for a "conversation ride"

 

Tuesday:  Hell Ride, 5:30 @ Open Road Bike Shop.  Always the same route, always hard effort, a great mid-week tough workout.

 

Wednesday:  Crit riding/ practice off broadway past the airport.  More later on specific times and when we'll be starting these.

 

Thursday:  Team ride, 6pm @ Missoula Bike Works.  Wear your orange!  Working on hills, pacelines, or time trialing.  Earlier we'll do shorter rides (until the daylight improves) and learn to ride as a team.  Please, please try to make this workout as often as you can if you plan to bike race this year.  If this day doesn't work then we need to change it because I'd like to see us ride as just a team more often.

 

Friday:  Rest, drink, sleep, or whatever you need to do after a hard week!

 

All are subject to change – I’ll keep it updated on the listserv.  Any questions, please email the cycling director, Miles Key:  miles_key at hotmail.com

 

Spring Multi-Sport Workouts

 

Monday: Ahhh.  Monday.  Ease your way into the week with Masters swimming at the YMCA – run by Ashlynn at 6pm.

 

Tuesday: Didn’t get enough chlorine last night?  Come join the Masters group at the Griz Pool on the UM campus – run by Ellen from 9-10:30

 

Starting Tuesday, February 26th we are back at the track.  Meet at the Dornblaser Track at 5:30 for a coached workout designed by Olympian Courtney Babcock.  All abilities welcome and encouraged.  It moves to 6:00 once daylight savings time rolls around.

 

Come spring, join the cyclists for the Hell Ride – leaving Open Road Bikes at 6pm.  More info from the cycling folks…...

 

Wednesday: Swimming, swimming and more swimming.  See Ashlynn and the rest of your Masters compatriots at 6pm at the Y.

 

Thursday: More Master’s swimming at the Grizzly Pool, 9-10:30.

 

As we get closer to spring, count on your Thursday afternoons being filled by bricks, time trials, and/or group rides. 

 

Friday:  What, do we need to hold your hand to get you off the couch?  If so, there is more swimming at the Y.

 

Saturday: As the weather starts to get a little less awful, join hardy cyclists at noon at Bernice’s for a 2-3 hour ride.  Speeds vary, so come prepared for anything. 

 

Sunday:  The day of rest becomes a day of very active rest.  Meet for a long run at Chez McGovern – 9am at 99 Columbine in the middle Rattlesnake.  It ranges from 6 to 20 miles depending on who shows up and who’s training for what.  If some are going long, there is always a group that runs shorter.  All abilities and political persuasions welcome. Call Dean for more details (728-6768).

 

If you really hurry, you can make both the long run and the 10:30 Masters swimming at the Griz Pool.

 

 

Don’t forget, pretty much every gym, club and rec center in town offers spinning classes.  Get some of that. 

 

Come spring, expect some changes, freezing cold open water swims, more outdoor workouts and lots more spontaneous athletic throwdowns.
