Return of the Death Match

E-mail Print PDF

Mark your calendars for the morning of the 2nd Saturday of every month... if you have obligations, get out of them... kids, find someone to watch them...  excuses, quit making them... :)  we're bringing back the Death Match...

 

Here's how it works...

 

9am on the 2nd Saturday of every month (weather and events permitting, alternate dates possible) we all meet at Lookout Mountain, probably at the park before the pillars.  The first time up we all start at the same time and record our times.  The following times we go up we stagger based on handicaps of our most recent times.

 

For instance, the 1st week let's say it takes me 45min (this is a gross embellishment, it might be more like an hour and a half), it takes Melissa 35min, Brett 25min and Erik 24min.  Again, only examples..  The next month I take of first, Melissa waits 10min, Brett waits 20min, and Erik 21min.  The goal is to get us all to the top at approximately the same time, but it also gives both the chaser and chasee motivation!

 

Afterwards we can drop down the back side and do a group ride if everyone is up for it.  As always I can keep the handicap matrix on the website as motivation as long as everyone is ok with that.

Above is a picture from the last Winter Park Cross Country Super Loop.  This coming weekend most of the Ride Against the Machine / Salvagetti crew will be racing a double header at Winter Park.  Saturday will be the 18.8 mile Valley Point to Point, with Sunday being the all new Super Downhill.  We'll be missing Shawn, have fun rafting!  And Mike and Jeanie...

If all goes as planned, we might even have on-bike footage from the Super Downhill!

If you haven't checked out the podium corner on the left, please do.  There were a ton of impressive accomplishments this summer and a lot of people did very well.  Congratulations everyone, you are a spectacular group of people to ride with!

There are also a couple of new blogs added to the mix, which you can coincidentally find on the left.
