Notes:
1) IMPORTANT: Parking...please park in the back of the overflow lot on Lake Rd, not the main lot in front. Park all the way in the back side of the lot out of the way of paying customers. The owners are kind enough to let us park in their lot, so we don't want to lose this privilege. You should see my car when you arrive, so park near me if you can.
2) Lakeside is opening this week for the season, so that means there is an optional group lunch after the ride in the restaurant. They have sandwiches, salads, baked goods, snacks, etc. Bring some extra cash for after the ride if you plan on having lunch.
3) We will have a SAG vehicle for all rides equipped with a first aid kit, water, PowerAid electrolyte powder, nutrition bars and gels if you need it before/after our scheduled rest stops. Feel free to bring snacks and beverages that need to be chilled to be put in the cooler (until full). Thank you Peter for being our SAG this week! Dave will be our Sweep rider this week, thanks Dave!
