Wednesday Morning Ride
Details
Many of you have plans to do some major biking events this year and are unsure of your fitness. This Wednesday ride will greatly improve your fitness and promise to be fun as well. We can alternate a ride once in Maryland and once in Virginia. Glen Echo Park is 1.5 miles from Ralph's house and minutes over the bridge into Maryland.
The intent of the scheduled time is to miss rush hour traffic in the morning and evening.
Highlights of the training ride from Glen Echo Park is the following:
Warmup along McArthur Boulevard for 4 miles.
Go up and down (3 to 4 times) a .25 mile 10% or so grade hill called Mountain Gate. Riding up and down this hill will get you in shape very fast.
Go out to Great Falls, includes a 1 mile 3% to 5% grade hill into Great Falls and a similar 1 mile hill out of Great Falls.
From there we can either repeat Mountain Gate for great training or go off into Potomac along some small, difficult rolling hills to get more mileage in.
Total mileage is 32 miles, and 1,931 feet of climbing.
