Tuesday Telo Street
Ride
With a long history as another one
of “those big rides”, this open training
ride is about pure speed. A Criterium circuit on Telo
Ave, Kashiwa and Fujiita, the route consists of one
hour of multiple laps around a one mile loop. This
ride will tap your cardio limits averaging 26+ MPH.
Multiple clubs from all over the South Bay area join
each Tuesday during daylight savings time at 6:00
PM. The streets are open during this time as cyclists
and motorists share the road but with only businesses
and no residences in the area, most motorists have
headed home by 5:30. Telo Street is another one of
those “pickup” rides that no-one really
owns or organizes and it actually draws spectators
who watch. This Tuesday will be the first ride for
2009. Friends
and Relatives of Telo has a Facebook Group. CLICK

Camarillo Practice
Crit
Time: Starts at 6pm and goes to 7pm on
Thursday evenings at a business
park just at the bottom of the Conejo
grade.
Directions: Exit 101 N at Flynn Road
and go N on Flynn Rd to Via Pescador and
go R, then left on Avenida Acaso. Park
in any of the lots for the businesses.
Course: The course is a "D" with 2
right turns on Avenida Acaso and Via
Pescador with the start/finish on
Acaso. Course is open to traffic,
but usually not an issue. If you
fall off the pace, just keep
circling and jump back in.
It is about 43 miles from
Wilshire & the 405, and you can
also take PCH, if you like.
If you had time, you might drive
out early, then do an hour or
two easy
around Camarillo (e.g. Spanish
Hills) for a nice change of
pace, then do the crit.
It is not scored from week to
week or particularly official
(e.g. no numbers, prizes or
recorded placings), but they
have lap cards and sprints every
10 laps, and has a mix of
talent, but usually includes
some good riders with breakaway
skills, as well as fast
sprinters, so is a nice workout.
When windy it can be tough to be
on the front, so you can get
some real work in, if you
attack.
There are usually a few La
Grangers out there, so send a
message to the list if you are
planning to go. Also, evenings
there can be cool, even if hot
in the Valley, so sometimes a
base layer or arm warmers are
worth bringing.
