The challenge: To complete 5000 km in the next 5 months (May 1 to Sept 30).

Saturday Women’s Ride

The PCC’s Saturday Women’s Ride starts this week. Here is the ride description taken from the PCC website:

Hey ladies! In an effort to diversify the PCC calendar we are launching a “Women’s Road Ride” starting in late April early May (please check the forum for the first ride of the year). All women who are PCC members are welcome to come out and enjoy the beautiful roads around Peterborough with a group of like-minded gals. This is a 1.5 to 2.5 hour road ride at a moderate pace (~25km/h avg. speed). Exact distances and routes will be determined based on the needs of the group. Helmets are required as well as membership to the PCC.

Equipment: Road bike in good working order, helmet, spare tube, pump etc. Because group riding skills will be used mountain bikes and hybrids are not appropriate for this ride.

Day/Time: Saturdays at 9:00 am
Place:Meet at the Silver Bean Cafe – 1 King St
Ride Leader: Katie Maynard

Join Katie and the gals this Saturday. If you are new to the Peterborough Cycling Club – this is a great ride to meet some fun female road cyclists, learn some great cycling routes, and find the best pastry shops in the county!

happy riding!

tee – LOVE : my friendly monday reminder

This is a reminder to myself and anyone who had a hard weekend:

To LOVE your bike even when you can’t look at him on a Monday morning.  This weekend was hard, which I am really happy about.

I only have 82 km to make 1000 k this month. And today is the 30th. It most definilty is not going to happen. Oh well, there is alway next month.

I hope everyone LOVED their bike this weekend.

Flirtees Thursday Nighter

It’s very exciting to see Kathy, Wendy and Jody out. Well at least the backs of them:) Love it!

This week I was locked and loaded. I had wind boxers, leg warmers, arm warmer, wind jacket and skull cap. The temp was 18. What was I thinking. My back pockets looked like a suitcase.

I rode as hard as I could until my legs said ” hey I’m hurting can you slow down please”. So I listened and watched everyone ride away.

I wrote an affirmation this week saying I would finish one lap. I did finish the lap just not with the group. Forgot to add that little detail. Next week crossing my fingers I can stay in.

they’re herrrrrre! sneak peek

We were busy tonight unpacking and organizing!! Pick up details will follow (and if you just can’t wait email flirteescycling@gmail.com)

Everyone should be very excited – we’ve already played dress up and we are very happy. Hoping everyone will be too!!

Not only did we play dress up tonight but Tanya had to bike home in the dark – so I rode with her half way. Feel like a kid again.

We had a great night. Hope everyone is planning on riding this weekend.

happy riding!!
