About this event

It's been too cold to ride, and it's going to be cold again... but I got out with some Freewheelers this week, and I missed it so, and then another member sounded disappointed when I wasn't gonna lead on Sunday, and I remembered a year ago another leader and I were talking about short, no-break rides for the pandemic...

Look: it's gonna be way too cold for a long ride, and way too cold to stop and hang out outside a cafe or something, so we'll do 25 miles, with a pit stop at the porta-potty at the Montgomery Arboretum. See the route here. We're starting late, at 11am.

Usual Plain Jim Lo-B pace; nobody dropped; faster riders welcome to go on ahead.

No toilets at the start. Stops as needed, but it's gonna be cold; you better NEED it!

Club Ride Guidelines and Special Coronavirus Ride Rules apply.

Riders-in can meet us at the Griggstown Firehouse at 11:15 or so, but let me know in advance if you want to do that. (Are you really going to ride in on such a frigid day?)

As I write this, I have no idea if anybody is interested, and it sounds like a daft idea, even to me. Nonetheless, registration limited to 20.

Edit 1/21 1:27am: Two things: 1) Fourteen registrants? With almost two days to go? What is wrong with you people? 2) You go on ahead; we in the back will catch up.
