Sunday Morning Polytechnique loops

Rides
1

Eric and I had a lot of fun (and pain) doing this 1.5km loop on Tuesday. We and a couple others guys are going back on Sunday morning to put in some hard efforts. All are welcome to join.

We do 5 laps at a time, and then take a well deserved break to ease our legs and catch our breath. Repeat 3-4 times. The pace will be high, but everyone will regroup after 5 climbs of the rampe.

Meet at the bottom of houde (our classic kom meeting place) at 9am and we’ll ride over to Polytechnique from there. The traffic should be nice and quiet for the ride.

Here’s the loop:

Sounds crazy, but I’m in. My wheel should be true by then haha

Hey guys, I’m really sorry, but I’m not going to be able to make it out for this ride at 9am. I’ve got a study session I need to attend in the morning. There’s three of you signed up, so if you want, you can go without me.

I’m thinking I’ll probably get out for a ride at 1… if you guys are up for doing this ride then, than i’d be syked, but it’s up to you three.

Let me know, but I can’t make it out at 9 tomorrow. Sorry fellas.

7

Coincidentally, I would much rather do it in the beginning of the afternoon, so 1 is much better for me.

8

Jocelyn, take 5 granola bars. If you don’t eat them all, you can still use them next ride =P And the extra weight will make you stronger.

9

I’ll be going out for some type of climbing event tomorrow morning. I’ll probably lap houde before or after this depending on when I wake up.- I will make if for some hot laps.

10

I will be at the bottom of the houde at 9:00, per the original plan, just in case any body wants to join me.

11

Jocelyn, you up for a sprint workout at the F1 track tomorrow? Meet at the gates at 1:15 say?

12

It’s going to be a late night for me so I would prefer the 1:15 ride. I’ll meet you at the gates. Maybe some Mt. Pleasant repeats after?

13

track is fine by me. I’ll try not to bonk. Jon, I owe you a bar but I have to say the ride was originally supposed to be 90K, not 110. I have a good excuse this time.

14

Revised - I will not be at the base of the houde at 9:00.

15

Is anyone riding tomorrow morning?

16

Id rather go a bit earlier so I can catch the last hour of parix-roubaix. would you be up for a little hour of hills at 8?

17

I’m in for the F1 at 1:15, and looking forward to the possibility of a Mt. Pleasant run later on

18

chilly i’ll be doing some pro tour laps starting at 8
