NEXT RIDE
Saturday, August 25th, 2012
Ride times start at 8:00am, 9am, and 10:30am.
GROUPS:
All groups start time coincides with 1:15pm beer tasting
8am Crew 60+ mile, average 18-20mph. This is the group that’s looking to put on some miles. We loop back and pick up 9am group and split back into like abilities. No pressure to stay for beer tasting, but it is good. (contact for info)
9:00am 40+mile. Roll out by 9:10am. Average speed 17mph with quicker tempo from time to time if we have a “well behaved” paceline. Smaller groups, in the past, have had quicker mph as you ride with like ability groups-especially when you are with friends!
10:30 am 26+ mile group, meet and greet. Average speed 15+mph.
There are different loop lengths available if you need to cut the ride short and/or not up for longer hills. At the end of the ride, wether you averaged 10 mph or 20 mph, the beer taste the same!
Have fun with the day.
