TPR - #1 - Tuesday 6:45am - Fast like the pros

Rides
1

Inspired to ride your bike really fast with a team after watching the pros ripe up Montreal?

Come to McGill Cycling’s first official Teams Points Ride Tuesday September 17th at 6:45am, meet at the hairpin turn of the track or 6:20 at the Roddick Gates

Remember this is an advanced/intermediate+ ride. I will split everyone who signs up into teams the night before so please remember to SIGN UP if you plan on showing up.

We do a warmup lap then we race for two lap intervals, after which we regroup before starting again. We do this three times for a total of six laps raced. We end in time to get back for 8:35 classes.

Points are collected as follows:

1pt for the team that takes intermediate sprint on lap 1
3pts for the team that takes the finish line on lap 1
5pts for the final sprint at the end of lap 2
1pt for second place at the end of lap 2

Each round has 10pts up for grabs. All of TPR has 3x10 = 30pts up for grabs.

Remember this is a great ride for people who plan on racing with us next spring!

Hope to see you all Tuesday morning for some pro level fun!

weather is looking fantastic for tomorrow morning…they are calling for clear skies and no wind!

Last year after this ride, Cannondale showed up at the track for some kind of demo/promo thing. I have no idea if they are doing it again.
Possible extra motivation to come?

Hey Philippe…can old sandbaggers join the TPR or should I stay in bed where it is warm?

Holy shit I’m going to die. This is going to be so much fun. Team TWO calls Sagan if Cannondale is there.

16

I might come, just to start my day early. However, I don’t need to be thrown on a team if it messes up the dynamics…

17

even if you aren’t on a team signup and show up and we will stick you on one in the morning, the more the merrier!

Sorry for the confusion on the first set, I was sprinting for imaginary sprint points the whole time.

This was my first TPR and not my last!
