Long, Dark, or Both


65 Mile Audax Tune Up:

Yes, it is this coming Sunday!  We’ll go, rain or shine.  This is your last chance to get in a self-evaluation ride, with the group, before the actual 200K Audax Ride.

By design, this is a hilly route.  We’ll stop at least twice, with an option for a third stop if necessary.  The group will stay together, at a good pace for the route.  We’re looking for something like a 13 mph overall average.  To accomplish that, we need only ride steadily, and keep good discipline at the stops.  The idea is to keep moving.  Stop time has a big effect on the overall.

This is meant to be a long, enjoyable, sociable type ride.  Of course we do focus on getting it done.  As of this writing, the weather forecast looks pretty good, but be advised, there is no rain date, and we go rain or shine.

Seasonal Night Rides:

It’s just one week until the Mid-Spring Night Ride.  This will be the first of these for the year.  Remember, good lights, strong tail lights, reflective vest or sash, reflective ankle bands, helmet, and dress for the weather.  We’re leaving at 7:30 P.M.  We’ll be out for three hours, or a bit more.  Departure point is “The Fred.”

Friends, it’s going to be a busy week.  Stay sane and safe out there.
