Mileage: 40 miles total.
Ride will be broken into two segments, 1 26-mile loop, and 1 shorter 14-mile loop. The goal is to complete both segments, but since it is our first ride on the road this season, we wanted to have options just in case.
Terrain: Rolling with one long steady climb up Outlet Rd., long steady decline down Outlet Rd. on the way back.
Notes: Please be courteous to your teammates making sure you arrive ahead of time to pump up tires, etc. so that you are ready to roll at 10 a.m. If you get there late, you will most likely will be left behind. Make sure you bring all bike gear needed...HELMETS, bike pump, saddle bags with tools and such to fix a flat, water bottles filled with electrolyte replacement, and nutritional needs.
Make sure you layer up. Remember, in this case more is better, you will be able to ditch anything after the first loop if you need to.
