Reminders


This will be a short post.  I have many background things going on this week, so I’m doing only “bare bones” posting.

Audax Tune Up:  65 miles this time!  And yes this time the start really is at 11:00 AM.

Here’s a good strong suggestion.  Use this ride as a “shake down” to prepare for the full day ride.  Ride the bike you are planning to take on the Audax 200K, and load it the way you plan to for that ride.  The terrain and pace of this one are deliberately a bit tougher than the full Audax 200K, but that gives you a very good indicator of your preparedness.

Details:
Start/Finish:  Bicycles Unlimited, Peachtree City, GA
Time:  Ride starts at 11:00 AM  (sharp)
Distance:  65 miles +/-
Pace:  Group touring.  About 14 mph rolling average, about 12 mph overall average
Requirements:  Helmets (always), dress for weather, bring your smiles.
Route:  Hilly.  Expect to make three stops along the way. 

General Info:  Bring food, and some cash for water and munchies.  Be ready for a long day in the Sun.  Sunscreen is strongly recommended.  I’ll have tools and a pump.  You bring your own spares, and any special or unique items your or your bike need.

REMEMBER!  This year’s Audax 200K will be on Sunday, 16 May.  We’ll start out at 07:30 AM.

Now let’s all go and have a great mid-Spring week!
