Team IC3/I am Second is back!

// June 7th, 2010 // 2 Comments » // Christianity, Rides

Back in January, IC3 North Texas and I am Second formed a partnership for the BikeMS fund-raising ride on May 1. We raised just short of $10,000 for the MS Society.

The team brought new members to IC3, and lots of exposure to the I am Second ministry.

So much so that we are going to resurrect the team to ride the 29th Hotter’n Hell Hundred this year. If you are a Christian Cyclist, please consider joining us. We will be able to order the jerseys again. We are also going to ask every member to try to raise at least one dollar for every mile they are are going to ride.

Keep an eye on this space for more info as details are sorted out. In the meantime…get out and ride! Keep an eye on the temps, and take plenty of water with you as you prepare!

God bless,

Kevin

Lancaster Country Ride, 4/10/10

// April 13th, 2010 // 1 Comment » // BikeMS, Christianity, Rides

9 members of team IC3-I am Second made their way out to Lancaster, TX last Saturday for a BikeMS training ride in preparation for the upcoming BikeMS on May 1-2.

We had members along each of the 3 routes (approx 20, 40 and 63 miles) and all finished with smiles on their faces. For some it was the longest ride of the year as they work towards being able to complete the BikeMS distances.

As far as I heard, there were no mechanical issues, crashes or muscle issues other than general “soreness”.

All of us were sporting either an IC3 jersey or the new team jersey for the BikeMS event, featuring I am Second, Power 89.7 FM and Interstate Batteries.

This 63 mile route is a good one, with good old-fashioned Texas chip seal roads, a few smooth spots, some very challenging hills and a coupe of screaming descents. With only one exception, the course is well marked and marshaled. Email sent to the organizer on the exception. Great rest stops with friendly people.

I’m looking forward to this ride next year, as are many of our riders. Well done and kudos to Greater Dallas Bicyclists.

White Rock training ride

// March 19th, 2010 // No Comments » // BikeMS, Christianity, Rides

Members of IC3 and team IC3-I am Second gathered for a training ride yesterday afternoon at White Rock Lake in Dallas.

All told, we had 16 riders from 8 years old to 57, making up three different groups of skill levels. 8 of them are junior riders. 2 of them are youth ministers. We even had a dad sporting a new bike and helmet out for a spring break ride with his family!

Some riders did 1 lap, some as many as 4. Some of the faster juniors were doing 30 second intervals of hard effort to prep for track racing season at the Superdrome.

This ride couldn’t have been more diverse if we tried…but it worked out really well for everyone involved.

Hope to see you on the next one!

Fellowship/BikeMS training ride

// February 20th, 2010 // 3 Comments » // BikeMS, Christianity, Rides

IF the weather permits, we will be attempting to do a Fellowship/BikeMS training ride at Texas Motor Speedway on Sunday 2/28/10 at 2pm

Map:

Texas Motor Speedway

5 miles, do as many or as few laps as you like, any speed. This is a good way to push yourself beyond your comfort zone, since you are never more than 2.5 miles away from your car.

If its raining, or below 40 degrees, I will not be there…but you can feel free to go on out!

This is open to anyone…BikeMS teams, casual riders, recumbents, tandems, whatever. Minors should be accompanied by an adult of course.

Thanks,

Kevin

Team IC3-I am Second

The North Texas spoke and I am Second have combined to create a faith-based team for the 2010 DFW BikeMS. This is a non-competitive team for anyone that calls Jesus Lord and wants to follow His teachings by putting others first. In this case, by raising $300 or more for the Lone Star chapter of the MS Society.

Click the link above for more info on the team, or to sign up.

The first training ride is a spin class on 1/9/10 at Richardson Bike Mart, Campbell and Coit. 9am, but get there before that. $5 trainer rental if you don’t have your own…limited quantities available. bring a towel.

Steen Rose from OnTrack Coaching has agreed to help us out with training rides and plans as well: Meet Steen

Fellowship Ride, 9/6/2009

// September 8th, 2009 // No Comments » // Christianity, Rides

We had one of our “pretty much twice a month” Fellowship rides from McKinney on Sunday afternoon. In addition to IC3 members Landon, Kari, Kolton, Michael and myself we were joined by Todd, Al, Jake and longtime IC3 friend Key.

We took a rambling route out from Crosspoint Church (Stonebridge and Coronado) and went West from there to Rockhill road. There was a tad more traffic than expected for a Sunday afternoon, but we made the best of it. On the way back, Jake’s suspension decided to explode and became unrideable. We sent Landon and Michael sprinting back to the church to get SAG vans…including Jake’s parents. Kari and Kolton (8 years old) took the van back as the rest of us rode it back to the church.

Good ride, good times, fun stories.
