TNT
We already have Vir-Tuesdays, and now we have TNT… Thursday Night Throwdowns. That’s right, this Thursday night is the first of many TNT’s. Bob posted it on the Team Red Wheel blog, and I thought I’d post it here as well.
I hate to admit it, but Adam is the one that actually realized that “Thursday Night Throwdown” could be shortened to TNT. In fact, he made a lame (yet funny) joke about how these training rides would be “dynamite!” He’s fired for not letting me think of it, though.
I thought we should call it “Trinitrotoluene” but nobody agreed with me. So, TNT it is, and “TNT” is pretty fitting since whenever Team Red Wheel and Team Virtus get together, you’re guaranteed to have an “explosively” good time. Wow… That was worse than Adam’s joke.
Anyway, tomorrow night we’ll be doing a Katy Trail ride. Meet at the N. Jefferson Lot (the one right on the Katy Trail, not the commuter lot) at 8:15. We’ll probably roll out by 8:30 for a ride to Hartsburg and back (with perhaps a fried pickle or two if the bar in Hartsburg is still open).
Riding the Katy Trail will clearly make you "Freeky" Strong.
So come join us for a 20 mile night ride on Thursday. You can go at your own pace, and the trail is flat and smooth. So you don’t have to worry about “blowing up” on this ride, and it will definitely be a “blast!” Damn! It’s still not funny, is it?

Team Virtus 
I’m in for a night-ro ride…see what I did there…
Ha! Good one, Jim! Much better than my feeble attempts at humor.
Do you know what road the parking lot is off of or close to? I’ll be coming from como and want to make sure I end up at the right spot.
It’s on Katy Rd. Take the airport exit and go left. Make a right on Oilwell Rd, and then when it comes to a T, go right on Katy Rd. Here is a link to the N. Jefferson page, and you can scroll down to see a map of the exact location:

I hope that helps. See you tomorrow night!
You jerks have a good ride.
What’s up with the name-calling, Adam? That’s totally uncalled for.
I’m gonna try and make the ride tomorrow. Are you ladies gonna do a group ride again this weekend?
I’m planning on riding this weekend. I’m not sure when or where yet, but I’ll let you know.
Have fun. Do something stupid and take video so those of us who are trapped in states other than Missouri can still enjoy the ride. 🙂
Should be a nice wet ride on the Katy this evening. We should have a contest to see who winds up with more gravel in their ass.
Good times last night. We only need to do a couple hundred more rides like that before Dirty Kanza and we’ll be fine
