As we move from the madness of March to April "Full's" Day, we can look forward to many days ahead full of daylight, warmer temperatures, and Gators getting back outside! We're going to give it a shot this week offering OUTDOOR RIDES on both Tuesday and Thursday evenings between 6:00pm-7:30pm but weather could factor into both nights, so stay tuned for updates! For Tuesday night, we are going to prepare two options and which way we proceed will depend on YOUR VOTES in the poll below. If the weather is okay and we have at least 3 votes for it, we'll proceed with the outside intervals ride. If the weather is poor and we have at least 3 votes we'll move forward with an indoor spin workout. If you are in either way, please check both boxes. This year we are again planning to staff each Thursday night ride with 2 coaches (to accommodate multiple pace groups) and you can expect that we'll also insert some additional coaching guidance into the rides than you may be used to from past years. And for Tuesday nights we'll also have a coach there to guide and motivate you. Also, starting this Thursday night and every night we have a Thursday night ride, the ride will be followed by a Gators social starting approximately 15 minutes after the ride end time. The default location will be Lock 29 in Phoenixville, but we will occasionally move to other locations that will be communicated to you in advance. Whether you ride with us or not, please make it a priority to occasionally stop by to participate in these socials... It's the best way to get to know your fellow athletes. We'll also see what comes of the new run group that is being established (reach out to David Stone <https://www.facebook.com/groups/216774858507294/user/1192332076/?__cft__[0]=AZW8qzVqL_Ooa279LZ3K8SM1Ubxah0PKiPtseMQI6YT25pR6GcwQiTJrnfSuUNi6K143E-9Wzvf_Y8RTDFHMdPrnbgqKDIdvZ4KcMmMu8S51h9pXCBYMUx3mIv1W7pD9XSQPK6yJ11jtjkEl-Y2g169QU3TQaB1MlUxEfofvazC_ymrZHzRULgSF0TnnlM147_ccBkK-LAjSmSy9zTf6N_ys&__tn__=-]K-R> if you are interested in participating). And keep in mind that there are MANY group run options each week with the RUNegades (Tuesday/Friday evenings and Friday/Sunday mornings) and Keystone Running Store (Saturday mornings and Monday evenings). These runs are GREAT, are well attended, and accommodate all pace groups; we highly encourage you to check them out.
