[NCNCA] Tuesday Training Ride - Oakdale

[John F Gerling]

Seems like there are Tuesday evening training rides all over No CA...just about every team has one. Well, here's another, one that I know will win the hearts of all who are looking for some variety and can leave work a wee bit earlier.
   
  Here's a link to a topo map, profile, cue sheet and directions to the start location.

  The 40-mile route through the east valley ranchland is mostly rollers with a few small climbs for sprint points. Traffic is refreshingly light for most of the route. Usually a good headwind around the reservoir and a fantasticly long tailwind down Sonora Rd. Recently added is the popular Cemetary Rd climb out of Knights Ferry. 
   
  Meets north of Oakdale on River Rd just west of Hwy 120 at the church parking lot (directions provided with the map). Rolls at 5:30 PM, sometimes a bit later if we know someone will be late. The group consists mostly of masters 3 and 4 and occasionally some 2's, usually 6-8 from the Stanislaus County area. Hoping to draw some from San Joaquin (Stockton, Manteca, Tracy, ???), possibly Merced or even farther.
   
  Contact Greg Galuppo (tourdupont at msn.com) for more details and/or to let us know you're coming out.
