About this event

Link to route on Jim's RWGPS page

Look, so maybe you have a beautiful bike, or a historic bike, or a silly bike, that's just not up to a regular club ride...

...or you have a friend/spouse/whatever you wish you could come on a club ride with, but none of the club rides are suited to the difference in your riding styles...

... or you just want to come out and see some folks you don't often see.

This might be the ride for you. About 25 miles. No pace; faster folks will go off the front; slower folks come along behind at whatever pace. I'll probably be in the back with youse. No pressure, no judgment.

The usual stuff, modified: No toilets at start. Stops as needed. Planned rest stop at Sweet Gourmet in Montgomery. (If you're going to use the facilities, please plan to buy something...)

Note that some have complained that RideWithGPS underreports the amount of climb.

Faster riders are welcome to come to the start, take the route, and go off the front. I intend to ride with folks near the back. Nobody dropped.

Riders-in can meet us at Blackwells Mills/Six Mile Run lot about fifteen minutes after the scheduled ride start (or anywhere else along the route), but let me know in advance if you're gonna do that.

If you're planning to listen to music on this ride, use bone-conduction headphones. Earbuds, over-the-ear headphones, or music audible to other riders, are not permitted.

I KNOW I'll see some of youse on this one.
