NMTS Happenings

Will's Monday Ride, 10:00 am at Alameda Open Space
The Monday ride is different from other NMTS rides.
There is no paceline; it is you doing your thing giving and receiving encouragement from your fellow riders.
Your goals
On the Monday ride, each person has his or her own goals and does his or her thing.
You start out at a moderate pace with stops and gradually increase your effort.
Here is a page with two levels of workout intensity.

So make plans to join us for as many Mondays as you can make!
