Intra-Club Time Trial Series

Thu, 24 Jan 2008 04:00:00 GMT

Our Intra-Club Time Trial Series begins this Sunday (1/26). The purpose for this series is for club riders to gauge their base fitness and monitor their training progress throughout the winter. If you are not prepared to do a maximal effort then you can ride at a sub-maximal intensity (LT-10) for each of the three time trials and effectively gauge whether your speed is increasing.

The course is 3 laps on a 3.33 mile loop in Reston. We will start from the Hunter Woods Shopping Center. The course is Colts Neck to South Lakes to Soapstone to Glade to Colts Neck.

First rider goes off at 1pm. Riders will be staggered by 1 minute.

The 2nd Time Trial will be held on 2/24.

Cold Toes Venue Approved

Tue, 8 Jan 2008 01:00:00 GMT

We're happy to announce that Fairfax County has approved our request to hold our winter training series, the Cold Toes Race Series, in Chantilly this year! The stickler has been that neither of the two roads for the course have had their governance transfered over to VDOT yet, which has significantly slowed the approval process for us. Now that we've been given the green light for the use of the roads, we'll proceed at full speed with all of the other paperwork and planning that a first-rate race requires. Keep an eye on this site for further news updates!

And don't worry, the west leg of the course really does connect to the east leg of the course :-)

Introducing New Website Section

Mon, 10 Dec 2007 12:00:00 GMT

The web site just grew by a section! What's better to do during the off-season than gain a bit of extra content around the middle? Introducing the new Rides section, a collection of Gmaps Pedometer routes which provide a wide-range of rides to choose from. If you make your way through all of these rides, create your own and send it on in. The more the merrier! Each ride description includes the starting location and distance. Clicking on the associated map shows you the actual route details. Here's a sample ride description.

Start location: Reston Town Center (Reston, VA)
Distance: 64 miles

Sunday Club Rides to Start

Sat, 3 Nov 2007 12:00:00 GMT

This Sunday's club ride (route) starts at 10AM from the Starbucks at the Reston Town Center. We'll head west for a loop of about 48 miles, including a stop at the 'cross race at Ida Lee Park and will be about 3 hours. Contact Vic for additional information about the ride.

Overall details about the Sunday club rides are to follow.

Night Rides Ready to Roll into the Darkness

Wed, 31 Oct 2007 20:00:00 GMT

Back by popular demand, Vic has reinstated the Tues/Thur night rides, which will start up again on Thursday, Nov 1st. So charge up your lights and join in.

Ride start is 6:00 PM sharp from the downtown Herndon parking lot. This is an easy zone 2 ride on the W & OD trail out and back to Leesburg (~2hrs).

The ride is canceled if it rains, or if it has rained up to 1 hour before the ride start, or if there is snow or ice, or if the temp is below 35 degrees at the start of the ride. If you're uncertain if the ride is on, call Vic on his cell phone.

The rider count is usually about 8-10, so you can join even if you don't have a light, but providing your own front and rear lights is preferred!

Quicksilver Winter Solstice Series is Dead

Thu, 27 Sep 2007 14:00:00 GMT

Long live the Quicksilver Winter Solstice Series! In the hope of preventing the venerable Quicksilver course from becoming overused and stale, we've decided to move the location of our winter training series to the other side of the Dulles airport, to Chantilly. Along with the move, of course, will come a new name. So without further adieu, Evolution Cycling would like to introduce the Syn-Fit Cold Toes Race Series. We've already submitted the necessary VDOT paperwork to reserve the venue, and if all goes as smoothly as planned, we'll be back next year to help kick off the new racing season. Keep an eye on this site for further news updates!

Evolution Cycling and Racing Union Light the Way

Mon, 24 Sep 2007 14:00:00 GMT

Evolution Cycling, along with our comrades at the Racing Union, have started handing out small, bicycle safety lights to the day laborers traveling on the W&OD, and elsewhere, after dusk to help improve their safety, and those they encounter during their commutes. In addition to the free light, a pamphlet is included describing when and how to use it, in both English and Spanish. And to top if off, free installation is included as well, right there on the spot. Now that's full service!
