Just what we needed

Submitted by Ken Scher on Sat, 12/14/2013 - 11:42pm

I didn't get a chance to attend the conference, but from a quick perusal of the SIG captains' site, including our very own blog, I like what I see. I also got a kick out of the "Group Home" menu item. I've known a few siggies that ought to be in one.

Goals for Week #4

Submitted by iforst on Sun, 12/08/2013 - 10:37am

If you haven't already read the Curriculum Week 4-6 .pdf that I sent out Sunday, please do so; it will help make sense out of this week's Goals, and it's indispensable for Saturday's ride.

Our Goals for Week #4 are:

Goals for Week #3

Submitted by iforst on Sun, 12/08/2013 - 10:27am

Week #3’s Goals are so important to safe, cooperative group riding that your SIG leaders have probably already been telling you about these for the last two weeks…but now that you’ll be at the front of the paceline – pulling, guiding, leading the group – they’re especially important.

Our Goals for Week #3 are:

Ride In A Straight Line
Keep Pedaling
A Relaxed, Athletic Position
Modulating Speed
Anticipate; Ride Proactively
Uniform, Consistent Effort

Goals for Week #2

Submitted by iforst on Sun, 12/08/2013 - 10:21am

Woo-hoo, a whole mess of words from Bob!

This week’s Goals are:

Ride In A Straight Line
Keep Pedaling
A Relaxed, Athletic Position
Modulating Speed

Note the additive/cumulative nature of the Weekly Goals: You are still responsible for (not just knowing but putting into practice) all the previous weeks’ Goals as well as this week’s Goals.
