Group Ride - Saturday, Oct. 9 - Post Century / Bring a Friend Ride

Ride Start Location: Saratoga State Park, Gideon Putnam Parking Lot
Ride Start Times: Ride will start at 9 am, please be ready to roll at 9 am
Mileage: 25+ miles
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: As flat as I could get it...there's a few "rollers" but no major long climbs. (One on Rte. 67 and up 9P)
Notes: 1.) There is an optional rest stop at mile 17.
2.) This ride will be open for you to "Bring a Friend". Maybe you have someone who is interested in what you've been doing or with TNT and would like to join us for a ride. It'll be a nice, short ride that is doable for most riders.
3.) Note that Map My Ride is a little off on the mileage...it wouldn't let me go up Gideon Putnam Road and cross over on to Cresent. The Cue Sheet should be right, I added in the additional mileage there.
