Supported Oilman Bike Ride for FSC on Sunday, Oct 4

We will have a supported group ride on the Oilman HIM bike course on Sunday, October 4.  Let Coach Dana know if you can attend so we can plan accordingly by emailing him at dana@coachlyons.com.

We will meet at the La Torretta Resort, the site of the Oilman HIM.  Please arrive early so that you are ready to ride at 7:30am.

Parking; as you turn off of Walden Road, there is a remote parking lot immediately on your right.  Please park there.  Once parked, you can bike down Del Lago Blvd.  We will meet in a small parking lot (please do not park here) that borders Del Lago and Balboa (the tennis courts are across the street).  Look for my white Expedition with bike rack on the back.  Please be at this parking lot ready to ride at 7:30am.

We will have two support vehicles on course with water and HEED electrolyte drink plus some tubes, pump, etc..  Please bring your own nutrition (we will have emergency backup nutrition for those that need it).  We are planning on having only one major rest stop and that will be in Richards either at the Richards HS located on Guadalupe just north of FM149 or, if the parking lot is assessible, the shuttered country store/gas station at FM149 and Guadalupe.  The support vehicles will stop at other locations along the route and you are free to stop if you need something or simply need a short rest.  I have attached a copy of the race course map.  I have added numbered locations where you can expect the support vehicles to be.  The main SAG vehicle will not leave the FM149/Guadalupe location until all come through there.  The race web site has a great interactive map that you should check out.  Please be familiar with the course.

Please insure that your bike is in good shape prior to ride.  And please be prepared to change your own flats.  You should carry 2 tubes, at least 2 CO2 cartridges (or frame pump), tire irons and a multi tool.

All Finish Strong Coaching athletes are welcome to join us.  The more the merrier on course!
