Fwd: Re: FW: suggestions for beginner racer?

Provencher, Darell

2001-02-07

Team Rose City (Team RCW/River City Bicycles, promoter of the Mt Tabor

Criterium) is celebrating its 50th year (1951 - 2001) as the oldest

continuously operational racing team west of the Mississippi. We are

currently a masters racing team comprised of trackies, roadies, triathletes,

and mtn bikers. Our abilities range from beginners, to state, national, and

world champions. We look for masters level men and women 30+ who want to

learn to race and be supportive team mates during training and races

(whimpering is not allowed).



We currently conduct our training rides on Saturdays at 10 am starting at

the Cornelius Pass Park & Ride located just off the Cornelius Pass Rd Exit

from Highway 26 (Sunset Hwy) in Hillsboro. About 1/4 of us are still riding

fixed gear thru Feb, so having newcomers on our rides is no problem. Most

of the fixed gear riders go 2-3 hrs. The roadies go longer.



We are sponsored by River City Bicycles (Dave Guettler, owner; and Mark

Ontiveros), who is unmatched as an avid supporter of bike racing in Oregon.



If you are 30+ and interested in joining a seasoned yet supportive team with

a long tradition of racing, contact



Mitch Weaver -- 503-534-2745.

On top of all the great suggestions already posted, you should consider

joining a club/team if you haven't already done so. Besides the training

support, you'll have a team to work with at the races which adds to the

fun.

I would like to second Julianna's request. I raced most of the

cross

 series last year and as my first racing experience I appreciated

the

 inclusiveness of the event. It was very easy for us racing

beginners to

 get involved (with a little encouragement from our friends!).



Now I'd like to explore more racing venues and am also looking for

either

 road or mt. bike events that would be good for a beginning masters

age

 racer. This might be a good thing to post to the board as I'm sure

there

 must be others out there wondering the same thing. Thanks to

anyone who

 can help!

This is my first (road) racing season, and I'm looking for advice

avoid. I

 have the schedule, but don't know the reputation of the races.

Any advice

 would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Greetings:



Torani/NW Velo gladly welcomes riders to our Saturday

morning rides.



We currently meet at the Tennis Courts at NW 27th and

Raleigh at 0900 hrs. Generally, the rides will

incorporate a mix of skills-building, flats, and some

climbing (AKA up to Skyline). Rides average 4 hours

in duration.



In addition, we are "mixing up" our Sunday morning

rides to add new terrain. Next Sunday will be Hagg

Lake.



Cheers,

Jonathan C. Puskas

President; Torani/NW Velo
