Even though we are several months away, GP Sports Cycling & Fitness traditionally marks the end of the cycling season in November with the Horrible Hundred in Central Florida. This year we will be spending an entire week in Florida. The week will be filled with tons of fun activities, cycling, and relaxation. Our accommodations will be 4 STAR rated vacation homes. We opted for vacation homes instead of hotels because we truly want our cyclists to be at 100% ease. The week will culminate with the Horrible Hundred which will  have routes of 36, 74, & 104 miles, pick your poison well, just don't forget to have fun in the process. An account of last year's Horrible Hundred can be see at: BREAKING NEWZ.

Above, Team Captain Louis can be seen conquering the last of the Mighty Sugar Loaf and to the right, GP Sports Cyclists Mark, Rob, and George powers a pace-line on the Horrible Hundred course. If you are interested in joining us in the fun, CONTACT US as soon as possible so all necessary arrangements can be made.

SAFETY IS PARAMOUNT: Be sure to stretch before and after each ride - especially before you go to bed after a long ride. By not stretching, tired muscles gets cold and achy and you will pay the price the next morning. A massage would also be a great idea. Be sure to maintain proper hydration thoughout your rides and take along nutritional bars as a means to replenish used energy. Don't forget to bring along a communication device and inform someone of your bike route.

GP-Sports Cycling Practice Rides

"Are Here Again"

 

Hey fellow cyclists, Team GP-Sports will start hosting practice rides for Bike MS New York City and Bike MS Tappan Zee.

 

The next practice ride will be Saturday, July 31, 2010. Due to popular demand, the practice ride will start at 7:30AM sharp. The venue will be in Brooklyn's Prospect Park. We are going to be meeting at the Grand Army Plaza entrance to the Park, which is adjacent to the library. To be more specific, we will be meeting just inside the Park to the right. So please walk inside the Park entrance and we will be just off to the right on the grassy area.  

 

We will go through our pre-ride stretch, a brief information period on how to use the 3.6 mile circuit to adequately train for the Bike MS events.

 

Be sure to have the necessary items when you come to the ride; a helmet, hydration, a phone, identification, protein bar/banana, and maybe a few dollars.

 

Last year's practice rides were a lot of fun and we are looking forward to meeting new and returning friends. The next set of practice rides will be a trip to Nyak from either Central Park or from just across the G.W. Bridge. We will also take a ride into the Palisades Park which is actually apart of the Bike MS NYC route.

 

Lastly, please send an rsvp email to gpsncyclingclub@gpsnewz.com just to alert us of your attendance. We would like to have an idea of how many cyclists we should be prepared for. Hope to hear from everyone soon and see you in a week.
