Ron G. always told me that you have to "Show the Love" to your spare/back up bike. So for this ride I will be grabbing my first Tarmac, no Etap, no power meter, no disc brakes, and no radar. Mine has been sitting for over 2 years so after a quick safety check and chain lube I'm excited to ride the road bike again that got me started in all this. If you have a back-up bike it would be nice for you to Show the Love also. (Brian if you need help which bike to choose give me a call!). We will ride the normal reverse 51 route, A-/B+ pace. Hope to see you and your bike there!

First time at Overton this season so the ride will be slower than "normal". I will certainly be skipping a few DBDs (Double Black Diamonds). This venue is not really for begineers unless they stick only to the blue trail. If you're a begineer than there are easy waitups as the trail is designed with entrance/exit to the BDs.
PLEASE text or email me (address below) with your rider information (Name, Member #, Emergency #, Cell #). The ride will be following the SBRA COVID-19 Guidelines.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Bow hunting season is open, Overton has one or two parking spaces available for hunters; do not make enemies ... do not park in these spaces. If parking is crowded than park across Rt 112 on Paul's Path. Wear bright clothing if you attend. I will have a swinging bell attached to my bike and suggest you do the same.
