2010 MS Gran Prix Team Geaux Race Cat 5 Report
2010 MS Gran Prix Team Geaux Race Cat 5 Report
Road Race
Kevin, Gregg, Rupert and Chris L. aka “747 Jumbo Jet” participated in the Cat 5 road race on Saturday morning. After a good warm up we waited for the start, which happened to be on top of a hill. The race began and 75 racers accelerated from 0 to 30 mph in about a minute, Kevin was the only team member to stay in the front of the pack. Gregg, me and Rupert were at the back of the pack when in the first 2 miles a large crash of carbon fiber, aluminum and riders hit the pavement blocking the entire road. Gregg, Rupert and I made it through unharmed but we lost the leaders and never would see them again. The rest of the race for us was uneventful until the town of Wesson where the arrows marking the course got us confused with the arrows marking the circuit race. The rider in front of Gregg actually turned around to head the opposite direction, which made Gregg do the same then we figured it out and continued in the right direction. On the second big climb of the race, Gregg was able to drop me and eventually catch and pass a couple of other riders prior to the finish. I continued on to the finish by myself as did Rupert who was a few minutes behind me. Kevin maintained his position with the lead pack and was able to sprint to a 11th place finish, great job Kevin!
We had hoped to stay with the main pack longer to learn some things but the crash prevented that and taught us a valuable lesson, stay in front of the pack if possible. We plan to increase our training to better our chances of hanging on when the pack surges.
Time Trial
Saturday afternoon found us warming up on the 3 mile time trial course, which was actually pretty nice with some gradual ups and downs. Rupert went off first, then me, Kevin and Gregg at 30 second intervals. At about half way through the race I was closing the distance on Rupert, which I later found out was having back issues. At about 2 K to go Kevin passed me then a few seconds later the rider that started behind Gregg flew by me at about 35 mph. Kevin passed Rupert in the last few meters but the fast guy passed both of them, which meant he passed up all four of our team riders for a 2 minute gain! That guy went on to post a 6.08 winning time. Kevin averaged 24.4 mph for the race, Gregg 23, Chris 22.2 and Rupert 21.5, great job by all.
Circuit Race
The circuit race course was a 1 mile trek through a community college campus with one gradual climb, one short steep climb and a few downhill’s. The course was actually pretty fast and not too tight. The start field was less than 40 riders, which was good. Team Geaux Race started to the back as the leaders again pushed the pace very fast at the beginning of the race. Gregg, Rupert and I fell off the back and after a few laps we exited the course and watched the race from the sidelines. Kevin fell from the lead group but hung in to finish the race. The final sprint of the 10 or so riders in the lead pack resulted in a 2 rider crash; both were bruised but walked away.
Overall Kevin finished 18th out of the 75 riders that started, great job!
Lessons Learned
1. Stay in front of the pack if you can.
2. Increase interval training to be able to hang when the pack surges, i.e. training races.

Get ready for the RED BUG HILL CHALLENGE on Saturday, May 1, 2010!
Start and finish will be at Mike and Marie Rourke's farm on Hwy. 421 in St. Francisville.
ALL proceeds from this ride will benefit people in Louisiana with Spina Bifida. The ride is held in memory of our son Jordy, born in 1987 with Spina Bifida, who died unexpectedly of a heart attack in May 2008.
Rides of 20, 40, and 60 miles, as well as a 1-mile fun run, will wind through the rolling hills of West Feliciana Parish and end on "Red Bug Hill."
There will be an optional time trial up "Red Bug Hill," (the Challenge). Age group awards and extra raffle tickets will be given for those who participate in the Challenge. Drawings will be held for thousands of dollars worth of bikes and merchandise after the ride.
Join us for food, drink, music, and the raffle after the ride. Hope to see you there!

Bicycle Pace Line Etiquette
Riders,
The weather should still be nice for Thursday at 4:30, hope to see you there.
On another note, I received some complaints about the ride I missed on Tuesday, it seems that there were several violations of pace line etiquette taking place. I think this is indicative of a large group of mixed skill riders so I'm proposing some guidelines for this ride. Please pass this along to those that ride with us that aren't on the email list.
What I would like to propose is that we have sections of the ride for ramping up the speed as well as sections for regrouping. Basically, we need to regroup after we make turns then slowly ramp the speed up following pace line etiquette until the group chooses to slow down or make another turn. If you want to do intervals, please drop out of the pace line and do your thing then return to the pace line if you so desire. The goal is to keep the pace line safe, together as much as possible and moving fast.
If the group keeps growing the way it has been we may have to double pace line to keep from getting too spread out. If this occurs, please follow the pace line etiquette but roll out to the right if you are in the right line and to the left if you are on the left line. Allow room for the riders rolling out to drop back.
Please read the attached Pace Line Etiquette file or visit the http://hubpages.com/hub/Bicycle-Pace-line-Etiquette link to learn more about pace line riding. Below are 4 key areas I would like everyone to know.
Ride at an even speed when leading. Hold the speed of the rider that just gave up the lead until he has time to get on the back then increase speed gradually if you want to. If you are too tired or weak to do your turn at the front of the pace line, don’t pull at the front. Just rotate smoothly through without disrupting the group's pace.
No sudden movements by any single rider, this can be disastrous. This means that abrupt braking, swerving, and any type of erratic riding is always a dangerous, poor technique.
Do not brake or soft pedal at the front of a pace line, this causes the ripple in the “train” behind you.
Keep pedaling as you move off the front. Don't stop or slow your cadence until the following rider has begun to pull through. Don’t drag race the overtaking rider. When the overtaking rider has pulled up adjacent to you, then drop your cadence not your gearing and fall back.
Happy Riding,
Chris LeMoine

Mineral Wells Stage Race
Greetings ... Andy Hollinger here. I wanted to let you and
your group know about an incredible new race held in Mineral
Wells, Texas on April 18 and 19th. The Mineral Wells Stage
Race will have some exciting features:
Most fields will have Rolling enclosure - so you'll have the
whole road!
We're paying over $10,000 to racers in GC and TEAM bonuses.
This means that the top three teams (based on the top three
team member performance in each event) will split hundreds of
dollars. Because it's a points based race, with point prime
opportunities - everybody is in the game, not just the few
specialists that typically dominate the event.
The weather should be good and we have $78 a night housing
available at our host hotel.
more information can be found at www.teambicyclesinc.org.
We're obviously running a tight budget so I can't help with
travel costs or provide host housing. But, what I can do is
give you a free entry.
For every 4 paid entries - I will comp a 5th teammate for
"out of state"
teams. (think of that as a special 20% discount for
non-Texans!) The Stage Race price is $75 but we're
discounting it to $65 per racer till the last day of
February. Register your four and send me the info for the
free fifth!!!
Act now ... it's going to be a very cool event.
Thanks

Cannondale in the News again...
It's Buyer's Guide time and Cannondale bikes score some major coverage in the latest Velo News with 9 top picks!
If that's not enough I'm sure you'll like to see the RZ One Forty on the cover of MBA along with coverage of the Flash Team and RZ One Twenty -4
Enjoy...
The Cannondale SuperSix Ultimate uses SRAM Red shifting, DT Swiss carbon tubular wheels, and Zero Gravity brakes to tip the scales at 12 pounds. However it's the 2010 SuperSix frame design features we like the most!

Cycling Performance Study at Pennington
If you are looking for a better way to train this season, want to know your VO2max, Lactate Thresholds, and Power Output surrounding these zones, then we have the study for you!
Please read the following study details below on how to test your cycling abilities this year!
Pennington Biomedical Research Center is conducting a study on the behalf of Gatorade Sports Science to examine the effectiveness of a dietary supplement on cycling performance.
Goals of the study:
One: To determine whether a new dietary ingredient will increase the use of body fat during exercise.
Two: To examine whether those using the supplement will increase 20 km time trial (TT) performance after a period of strenuous exercise.
Who is eligible?
• Men between 18 and 35 years of age
• Capable of attaining a V02 max: 50 ml/kg/min. This would be equivalent to a good Category IV or Category III+ rider.
• Must be willing to commit to a testing protocol that will last -40-days.
What the test entails:
The following tests will be performed before and after four (4) weeks of supplementation:
• A V02max test with the determination of VO2max, lactate thresholds and the corresponding power output associated with each.
• A two (2) hour ride at an established percentage of your lactate threshold. Several blood samples will be taken during this portion of the test; however, we will take no muscle
biopsies.
• A 20 km TT to see how fast you can complete the TT.
Upon completion of the study you will receive:
• $200
• A full report detailing your V02max, lactate threshold, heart rates, and power outputs associated with your test.
• A report detailing your time to complete each time trial along with your average heart rate and average power output during each test.
• Various schwag courtesy of Gatorade
If you are interested in participating in our study please contact me directly.
If you know of someone who might be interested in the trial, please forward this to them.
