One of the benefits of riding for Team Dayton is the opportunity to ride with teammates.  For most of us it's time to ride with friends, compete for King of the Mountain, or sprint for a city limit sign.  If you are new to racing it's a chance to push yourself physically and learn something from more senior riders. 

Detailed below are regularly scheduled rides.  Not all of them are officially sanctioned 'Team' rides....

I do not pretend to know very much about cycling, racing or even most sports. But I do know something about the emotional and physical challenges of self-improvement, getting stronger and overcoming adversity. I have never met any one as famous as Lance Armstrong. But I daily work with survivors of all types and those who set the standards in their fields. I may not always "walk the walk or talk the talk" and be the best role model that I can. But I have studied Flow Theory "being in the zone", goal setting, meditation, nutrition, aging, depression, anger management, sleep disorders, addictions, performance anxiety and pain disorders amongst other topics. I have no intention of being the Team Dayton Psychologist or Coach. But, it is my firm belief that as a team we all have areas of expertise and experiences to share that others can profit from. Please join me in a pace line toward self-improvement. Feel free to add to the comments and suggestions you see below. The following are not ground breaking ideas, but hopefully provide some impetus to get us started on being better.
