Well, it is that time again for another infamous Winter Bike League ride to help you get in those winter miles. Pack a loaf of bread and a pint of beer as this one will be a bit longer.
We are doing our Winter base miles and want to go easy and long. However, we need to keep from getting bored. All non-category sprinters make deals with those who can sprint and help them out! They may return the favor later when you need it! For any rider that wants a lead out may want to offer up one of the elites two packs of Smokes and a 5th of Gin .. . you will more than likely win the sprint from the lead out you get.
Tips for points - chill on the ride and help keep the pace "chill", that way when the whistle blows you won't get left behind. Cause when the whistle blows "The Heat is ON"
