- 7. Cycling Reference Chart • Training needs will increase as riders advance in grouping and working towards their goal(s). • Follow the 10-15% rule: No ride to be more than 10-15% more than any ride in the past 4 weeks. This is to avoid injury, sore buttinski, burnout, etc. Loosely translated: Prior to your first 100K (62 miles): in one day within the last 4 weeks, ride at least 55 miles. Prior to your first Century (100 miles): in one day within the last 4 weeks, ride at least 87 miles. If the longest day of the TPCC is 85 miles: in one day within the last 4 weeks, ride at least 75 miles. • I would advise riders to be at least at these (minimum) levels: – 1st 100K (62 miles): Group 2b. – 1st Century (100 miles): Group 3b. – TPCC: Work up through the groups and last 6 weeks in group 3b/4a. – Death Ride (125 miles, 15,000 feet climbing): Balance of 4a/4b. • Every bike ride is a good ride. Every bike ride with hills is a great ride! Loosely translated… Have a great ride! (include as much climbing as you can) • Your spinning classes or riding on a trainer count as 6 miles per 30 minutes. • If you are under 25 years old, there are no rules!!!
- 8. Creating A Community • Why our training rides are open • The power of a shared goal • Telling stories • A little encouragement goes a long way

Editor's Notes
- Arthritis is costly, painful and debilitating. When you think of serious chronic diseases, arthritis might not be top of mind, but it should be. Arthritis is the number one cause of disability in the United States. It costs the U.S. economy $128 billion dollars a year and is a more frequent cause of activity limitation than heart disease, cancer or diabetes. Everyone should join the Arthritis Foundation in this fight because of: The serious threat that arthritis poses to individuals, to businesses and to the economy as a whole. The impact the Arthritis Foundation makes in the lives of people with arthritis and in your community. Our goal at the Arthritis Foundation is to remove the burden of arthritis entirely through a cure. That is our commitment to people with arthritis.
- + 100 forms of arthritis Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Psoriatic Arthritis, Lupus, Fibromyalgia etc. 1 out of every 5 adults is living with arthritis
- The shortage of pediatric rheumatologists is of great concern to the parents of children with arthritis and to the Arthritis Foundation. We are leading the way and taking action. Increasing access to pediatric rheumatologists is one of our policy priorities. And we are asking Congress to appropriate funding for a Pediatric Subspecialty Loan Repayment Program in FY 2014 in order to help alleviate the current shortage of pediatric rheumatologists in the United States. We have created tools to enable our advocates to raise their voices on this critical issue. (More info can be found: http://www.arthritis.org/advocacy/advocacy-priorities/pediatricrheumatologist/) Our advocates have also been successful in keeping biologic drugs accessible to people with arthritis who are on Medicare. And they are supporting the Patients' Access to Treatments Act, which will enable access to critical treatments that allow patients to lead a normal life and prevent disability.
- For 65 years, the Arthritis Foundation has led the way with research that results in better lives for people with arthritis. As Floyd B. Odlum, the 1948 chair of the Arthritis Foundation said: “It is one light in a laboratory that will one day make the difference.” To this day, the Arthritis Foundation is working to make a difference in the treatment of arthritis, while remaining committed to finding a cure.
- The Foundation’s research program is unique because our agenda is set from the patient’s perspective. As you can see, we have led the way over the last 65 years – and will continue to do so with promising new research that is in the pipeline now. Funding 2,200 researchers and giving over $400 million towards discovering innovative treatments
- We fund cutting-edge research designed to change the world for people with arthritis. For example: [use one of the examples below] Example 1: Osteoarthritis affects 27 million of the more than 50 million Americans with arthritis – and there are few treatment and drug options available other than drugs to treat pain and surgery to replace joints. The Arthritis Foundation is taking the lead to change this fact. Results from our Anterior Cruciate Ligament – or ACL – Initiative have the potential to revolutionize the treatment of OA and to help find a cure. Imagine a day when you can go to a doctor who has the ability to detect the very early onset of OA and to prescribe something that will stop it in its tracks. That is our vision. Example 2: People who have auto-immune forms of arthritis – such as rheumatoid arthritis or juvenile arthritis – face hurdles not only in receiving a diagnosis, but also in getting the right treatment. Although treatment for RA and JA has advanced with the introduction of biologics, not every person with RA responds the same to the different biologics. Wouldn’t it be great if treatment could be personalized, or individualized, for each person with the disease? We think it would. And that is why we have funded the Arthritis Internet Registry, as well as a registry for JA, through the Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance, otherwise known as CARRA. By studying the genes of people who have these diseases and their response to the medications they take, we are one step closer to a world where personalized treatments for arthritis are possible. The Arthritis Foundation drives the world’s arthritis research agenda by developing and supporting specialized, targeted research initiatives that will push us closer to a cure – so that children like Matthew and anyone who must deal with the impact of arthritis can say, “I used to have arthritis, but thanks to the Arthritis Foundation, I am cured.”
- The Arthritis Foundation is working toward a cure, but understands that people need help to live better right now. Through programs like Walk With Ease, our evidence-based program approved by the CDC, which is shown to reduce health care costs, absenteeism and reduce workers’ compensation claims. We are the reliable source when they need information and answers about how to live with this devastating disease. We are the first choice for people with arthritis.
- The Arthritis Foundation has led the way since 1948 providing support to children with juvenile arthritis (JA) and their families. Through camps, conferences, education, advocacy and awareness programs, the Foundation pursues solutions to address the unmet needs of children with juvenile arthritis. We are actively Funding life-changing and groundbreaking research to enable kids to be kids and reach for their dreams. Advocating for kids and teens with arthritis to gain access to pediatric rheumatologists, as well as training kids and teens to be the voice for the 300,000 children with arthritis. Making connections by bringing kids with JA and their families together annually through the national Juvenile Arthritis Conference, hosting JA camps across the country, providing backpacks for kids with JA heading off to school, and hosting family days where kids and their families come together to learn and have fun. And providing education by delivering programs to children and their families to help them better understand the impact of juvenile arthritis. We also provide websites, brochures, books and other resources with information about JA.
