We'll hang around the north shore for this ride. The ride is a mixture of flats and short hills. The forecast is for a balmy 45F-50F. Some pace line riding may take place on the flat sections but only if all riders are comfortable with pace lines ... please show up and let me know if it's not your thing (privately if you want) ... if you let me know then this Ride Leader will not lead a paceline on this ride. NOTE this is a B ride as the distance of the short hills will effect the average more then the longer flat sections.

Also, regardless of the automatic note inserted below ... it's not necessary to show up 20 minutes before my ride start which will be promptly at 9.

How about taking a ride to Great River today? We will go the usual route through Connetquot Park and then do a loop in Heckscher Park where one can stretch the legs a bit. The route is mostly flat with 2 little hills; maybe 3. The average pace for this ride will be between 14.8. & 15.0 mph, depending on the wind and other factors. The road speed will be 15-17 mph to produce the average. We will be making a deli/rest stop somewhere between miles 18 and 20. After the ride maybe Guinta's will have steak on sale. The glass on the bike path should be cleaned up.
