Then finish up with one last run loop (2.1 miles). It is a 14.7 mile duathlon. We try to finish up before 8pm. This is your training, so you can customize the number of loops.

Directions:
From Snowden River Parkway near the Home Depot:
Take Robert Fulton Drive until it ends. Take a left on Columbia Gateway Drive. Take the 2nd right (across from the blue Renaissance at Gateway sign) into the RBR parking lot. Look for the orange cone at the entrance. Park next to the building with the address 7130 on the side.

From Route 175:
Take the Columbia Gateway Drive exit. Once on Columbia Gateway Drive, go through the first two traffic lights. The 3rd light will also be Columbia Gateway Drive--take a right at this light. Follow this road until you see a blue Renaissance at Gateway sign on the right. Across the street from the blue sign, you will see an unmarked entrance (there should be an orange cone at the entrance). Take a left into this parking lot. Park next to the building with the address 7130 on the side.

Starting from Princeton Sports, Columbia, MD at 9:00 on Sundays

All club members are welcome to get out and ride the IronGirl Triathlon bike course starting from Princeton Sports. The course is 17.6 miles and MMTC will provide a ride leader to hand out cue sheets and point you in the right direction. Princeton will provide a support van for the ride leader to call if anyone has trouble on the course. This is a no-drop ride for members of all abilities, so no one will get left behind on the course.

Arrive after work when you can and enjoy a few loops around Gateway with your fellow MMTC riders. This is a "do as you like ride" - that's the beauty of Gateway, it's a 2.1 mile circle so you can't get lost, you can't get dropped, you can ride as long and as fast or slow as you like. We'll be parking on John McAdams Drive, a deadend cul de sac at the bottom of the hill on the east side of the loop. Look for the MMTC sign and wear club colors to show your spirit!! (This is the same loop as the RBR, but not the same starting location.)

Come participate in some fun rides and keep your base through the winter months. All levels of riders are welcome to come and ride at your own pace. The distance is 32 miles along an out and back course. There are usually two groups, the A group (faster riders) and the B group (enjoying the route more around 14-16 mph) and there are people in between, too. To see where we ride, check out the map of the ride and the cue sheet.

Meet each Sunday to hit diffferent areas and trails of Rockburn Park. We will build up the duration of the runs throughout the winter months. The starting duration will be 90 minutes with a 60 minute bailout shorter duration. Check Yahoo groups for weekly attendance or cancelations.
