Week of 2/25/08. Workouts-we're back on track now that Ski Week is over. Update on Los Ranchitos /Lincoln Ave Bike Path project: to start in summer-very interesting. Napa Marathon this weekend. Possible change for 9am, Tuesday Hill Repeat group...
2/26/08. TUESDAY. TEMPO. 6:30am at YMCA .
2/26/08. TUESDAY. 9am. HILL REPEATS. Tenn Valley.
meet at Church parking lot..Reps on the short ones , then repeats in the cemetery.
2/26/08. TUESDAY. 9am. HILL REPEATS. Ross Common Group. (details to come).
Kevin needs a recovery day, so he will be the "go to" guy for the hill intervals and flat tempos.
Warmup to Phoenix lake parking lot:
Dam road: 6 X 30" (B/B);
Shaver Grade: 1 X 1:30( jog back to where you meet Kevin; he will jogging slowly up Shaver towards you) ; Upon reaching him, turn around and do 2' uphill (jog back to Kevin); then 2:30...
Then meet up at 5 corners: run 2:30 out onto flat Pipeline trail at Tempo pace; and 2:30 back to 5 corners.
Easy jog back down Shaver to base of Fish Gulch:
do 4 X 15" fast up the steep hill (B/B) ; recovery run back to Phoenix parking lot;
Pickup to Phoenix road entrance, then recovery run back to Ross Common.
NOTE: Since no one showed up for the workout, we'll hold off conducting it again until I receive feedback that at least 3 folks will want to join Kevin for the workouts.
2/28/08. THURSDAY, 7am & 9am groups at COM. we should have good weather.
3/1/08. SATURDAY, 7am. HILL REPEATS at McGinnis Park. 18 reps this session.
We had a good turnout last week, but still some folks are missing and others who are not doing Tuesday repeats should get their "Dipsea legs" going now.
Sunday, 3/2/08 is NAPA MARATHON for Brad O'Brien, John Lundy and David Leipsic: they all have been putting in the homework and are all looking for well under 3 hours on this course.
This Summer!
BIKE PATH CONSTRUCTION to take place: Los Ranchitos Road Bike Lane -going to happen!
I went to the presentation by Dept. of Public Works, Marin Bike Coalition and County Supervisor, Sue Adams on the first project in Marin to implement part of the 25 million dollar grant that was awarded to four sites across the country. Briefly, they will be starting with the bidding in April and construction this summer
> They will widen Los Ranchitos on the east side from North San Pedro Rd up to Lincoln Ave; then shift the striping of the road so that there are 5' wide bike lanes and 12' wide road lanes.
> There will be pedestrian/bike tunnel that will go underneath the interchange, then hook up to a multi-use path that will run south parallel to 101 in this configuration: sound wall that runs along the corridor being worked on now, multi-use path, barrier then 101.
> The path will run to Mission St. (future project is to hook the path up to Anderson).
> On the north side of Puerto Suelo Hill where Los Ranchitos meets N. San Pedro Rd, it will hook up to the bike path to North Gate.
>One resource where you can follow the progress, see maps,updates on the projects around Marin is www.bikemarn.org. ¶ 10:49 AM
