Sunday's Training (Recovery Ride)

This week was recovery, and we were all very happy for it. We are going to ramp up in distance and endurance again soon, so it is these rides that I value the most when you can spend some time chatting with fellow riders and learning more about them. It is making us grow closer as a group.

We had another immunity pump challenge contest in the form of a quiz. This week, it was an Olympics-themed quiz with one question. "What are the 4 cycling events in the Olympics?"

That's easy right? Road, Time Trial, Track, and other :)

The actual answer was Road, Track, Mtn. Biking, and BMX

Scott Bailey (who also won last week's immunity challenge) won this week. Congratulations Scott. Scott works for Qualcomm, is a very strong rider, and is a fantastic guy. He is always positive, upbeat, and you will usually find him heading to the front of the group towards the end of the ride with lots of energy.

The ride was cut a little short this week, but no one seemed to mind. In fact, it was nice to stay a little after the ride and chat with fellow riders Mike H., Deeanna, and Dan Plummer of WOW. Mike H. and I are planning a Sushi Silent Auction and we needed to discuss some details. Deeanna and some other QMDC riders are putting together their own fundraiser and Deeanna gave us some good tips that she has learned along the way. Thanks Deeanna.

The Sushi Silent Auction will be held Sept 29th from 6-9 PM at the Southwestern Yacht Club. Mike H. and I are working with a good cycling friend of his, Lan Tran. Lan is very energetic and has a heart of gold. More to follow on the Sushi4CAF Silent Auction event including a list of some of the silent auction items and sponsors.
