Coming UP!

It’s time to charge up the lights and go do it again!!  Yes, this coming Monday night, we’ll go out and celebrate the change of the Seasons once more.  This is starting to become a tradition.  So…  This time, on 20 September, the night before the Autumnal Equinox, we’ll go out and do yet another 40 to 45 miler.

Venue:  Once more, we’ll meet at the Fredrick Brown Amphitheater, in Peachtree City, Georgia, USA, Earth, Milky Way, Local Group, Universe.

Time:  We’ll depart a little earlier this time, as it will be getting dark sooner.  So we’ll be leaving at 7:30 PM (sharp)

Distance:  Somewhere around 40 to 45 miles.

Pace:  A comfortable night group touring pace.  We’ll keep together, but expect to be able to finish the ride in around three to three and a half hours.

Route:  As usual, I’m going to keep routing details to myself.  I’ll promise two things.  One, it will be different.  Two, we will not go up Rockaway Road.  Aside from that, you can expect hills, flats, headwinds, tailwinds, paved roads, and mostly rural riding.

Be prepared:  It is getting cooler.  We are now into a typical weather pattern for this time of year.  Temps will likely be in the mid 80s at ride time, but they will be falling, and could drop as much as 10 degrees while we are out.  Remember too, darker feels colder.  I’d recommend bringing a pair of arm warmers and possibly a wind-shell or wind-vest along.  Just in case.

Requirements:  As usual, helmets.  In addition, you will need good headlights, a good flashing tail light, a reflective vest or sash, and reflective ankle bands.
