I've just set up the new course for bike intervals. You CAN access Lucky 13 restaurant via Warm Springs. Take Warm Springs as far as the detour sign and then hang a left on the back road (to Koi Farm). This is the back raod that we will be doing the intervals on. I have put two small orange cones on the North side of the road at 1 mile apart. If you follow that road you end up back on Warm Springs near to Lucky 13.

The bike clinic is still going to be at 4.45 pm at Camel's Back for anyone who is interested. Eric, Antonio and I will be there to coach riders through the process.

Saturday swim. I've just checked the water temp in Clocktower and its a decent 60 degrees F, however, the air temperture is colder than this and will be even colder in the morning (low 40's) and so running immediately after this would be really chilly. So, the call is, the session will be in the POOL tomorrow followed by the run. Hopeully either Monday or next Saturday we can be in the pond.

Happy Friday BYT,

Just got back from doing my 1 mile repeats at the new location. Just a word of caution, there were a lot of cars on that section of road. I was there between 12:30 and 2:00 and there was plenty of traffic both ways. I think you have Harris Ranch people that know its not closed and you have some Messa people returning from Boise Ave. It could get a little tight with a large pack of BYTers going both ways and cars going both ways. Especially between 5:00 and 6:30.

One thing you might look into is riding on the highway from harris ranch to where the road is closed back by the Messa. Its all flat but looks to be close to 1mile and you would have it all to yourself. Just a thought!
Either way have fun and stay safe!!
