SATURDAY RIDE
On Saturday October 20th we will begin our winter training progam. This program
is designed to allow for a recovery period from the summer season, build cardio
endurance, and then begin a preparatory period that has us ready to ride the first
week of the Tour of California beginning on February 17th in Palo Alto, Ca.
