McCarty at the Giro
As part of my continuing work with all the nine-to-five’ers, weekend warriors and passionate cyclists out there trying to learn from the best, I will be periodically hosting an easy ride that is open to anyone. The whole idea is to get out on a ride with me and pick my brain. We can talk about the race weekend we just had, the one coming up, your personal goals and aspirations, my personal experience, training tips and even the latest cinema “must see” Pat McCarty picks. It’s a completely open forum, on two wheels.
One very important thing to note is that these rides will be departing from central Austin, no longer than 90 minutes and easy. You won’t have to worry about keeping my pace or slogging up some terrible hill off 360 wondering if I’ve left you for dead. It will be at a comfortable pace that you’ll be able to ask questions and process answers, guaranteed. I’m only scheduling two dates now but, I’ll be adding new dates as the season progresses so stay tuned. If there is a day that appears weather permitting, check the website as I’ll keep everyone informed of the ride’s status.
Alright, I expect to see yall out there!
Hey Folks,
The first ride was a unanimous failure. I think my problem was scheduling it at 9:30 on a Monday morning! I’m thinking of changing the second ride to 6pm on Monday, April 5th. Also, meeting on Shoal Creek. How does this sound?
Let me know what yall think and if you have any suggestions.
Pat

This sounds like a great idea and beneficial, I’m kicking myself for missing the first one, but will try and make the future ones. It’s a little hard for me to get down to Progressive Coffee that early in the morning, no it’s not that I can’t get up that early but more with getting out of work to drive down and then ride.
Yeah – the Shoal Creek idea is much better. A lot of us go over there to train after work anyway. I think a lot more people will be able to make it. I’ll try to swing by an I’ll mention it to Brain and Spine.

It’s been a while since anything has been posted, the ride is still on for today(April 5th), in case anyone is wondering!
We’ll see you at 6pm sharp on Shoal Creek and the intersection of Greenlawn.

I just sent a note about it to all the Brain and Spine peeps. I’m going to try and make it but I have an errand thats going to make me cut it close.

Holy cow that was fun! Thanks Pat. Mike you gotta make one of these the next time Pat does one. It was fun to get to know Pat and to pick his brain on everything from training, tactics, the pro tour, gardening, everything. Well maybe not gardening but if I’d brought it up I’m sure we would have talked about it.
