Ride Start Times: 7:30 am for ALL riders (you must be ready to ride at 7:30 am)
Mileage: 70 miles (30 and 40 mile ride options) (This is a figure 8 ride made up of two parts, a 40 mile and a 30 mile ride to equal 70 thus giving riders plenty of options. We will start with the 40 mile ride first.)
Directions: Turn Left into park onto Ave. of the Pines, at about 8/10 mile bear Left at Y, go to stop sign, turn Left and then turn Right into Gideon Putnam parking lot. (Use Ave. of the Pines entrance, not the other entrance further south on Rte. 9 to avoid park entrance fee.)
Terrain: Mostly rolling, no major hills on this ride, but we do have a few smaller climbs.
Notes:
• Make sure you print out both cue sheets for the full 70 mile ride.
• There will be 2 Stewart's stops at miles 28 and 60 with a stop back at our cars at mile 40. There will be a cooler packed with cold water and electrolyte replacement at the mile 40 stop.
• Please be considerate to the other riders and arrive in plenty of time for you to be totally ready to ride by 7:30 am.
• The weather is predicted to be very warm and sunny, so be sure to bring sufficient liquids and nourishment, plus money to replenish supplies as needed at the Stewart’s stops.
