That’s a Wrap!
As we flip the calendar to November, our regularly scheduled outdoor rides have finished for the season. This past Saturday was pretty frosty, even with the temperature between 1° and about 3°. This coming Saturday is looking even colder, and with some of those white flaky things in the forecast too!
Thanks everyone for joining us on the rides this season. I’ve tried to move the start locations and the routes around throughout the season, in the hopes of keeping things as interesting as possible. I’m always open for more suggestions and some of your own unique riding route ideas. Please feel free to pass them on to me any time. I’ll do my best to work them into next year’s riding.
I’ll begin a weekly virtual ride in December. In the past years I’ve used Zwift. I could return to that platform. I’ve still got my own active subscription – find me and follow me if you’ll want ride invites.
But also, just this week, TrainingPeaks has joined the virtual riding world with their purchase of indieVelo. They’ve re-branded it as TrainingPeaks Virtual and it’s free to use by all TrainingPeaks Athlete account holders. In March, they’ll be wrapping it into their TrainingPeaks Premium Athlete account subscriptions, which I provide to all of my athletes as part of their programming.
And as I use TrainingPeaks to deliver my one-on-one coaching programs, I’ll be diving into the world of TrainingPeaks Virtual to see if it’s going to be just as good (or even better) than Zwift for helping everyone stay engaged with their indoor training throughout the winter. Watch for more details from me towards the end of November as I get ready to lead the December indoor sessions.
Also watch for more emails towards the end of November about our club dinner and AGM that’ll be happening on the 29th. As I mentioned last week, we’re excited that A Cappella Catering will be delivering the dinner this year. Special thanks go to club member (and A Cappella owner) Todd Rutter for extending the club a fantastic deal!
See you all at the dinner next month … and maybe sooner if I see any weekend weather forecasts pushing towards double-digit high temperatures!!
Best regards,
Coach Kevin
