G Men & Women, I have to again cut my ride short on Saturday so I will leave it up to Bert or anyone else who can take over the lead to finish the route. The group can also decide if the ride should be longer as this route allows that possibility after the rest stop in Bahama.
Note too that I have cut the pace down a bit and because of the early morning chill, brrrrrr, I have decided to start setting the leave time at 8:30am. Kim's Sunday Ride also has a new start time of 9am. SATURDAY RIDE (10/4): (A GROUP - Tony) MEETING PLACE: St. Francis of Assisi Church - (Directions:http://www.raleighgyros.com/locations.htm) TIME: Saturday 10/4 @ 8:30am (NEW START TIME) RIDE DISTANCE: 52 miles PACE: 19mph ROUTE: "The Big Snow Hill Chill" CUE SHEET: http://www.raleighgyros.com/cue_sheets.htm (B GROUP - Someone will post concerning this ride) SUNDAY RIDE (10/5): 1. Kim's Recovery Ride (Note NEW START TIME) leaves from Blue Jay Point @ 9am. (38 miles @ 17-18mph pace) AND 2. Mike's Gyro Touring Ride: MEETING PLACE: Blue Jay Point TIME: Sunday 9/14 @ 8:00 am RIDE DISTANCE: 37.9 miles PACE: 14-16mph Route Varies MONDAY RIDE (10/6): Dave's Ride leaves from the Trek Store on Raven Ridge Road @ 5:45pm. (NEW START TIME) (25 miles @ 17-19mph pace) TUESDAY RIDE (10/7): Rick's Ride leaves from St. Francis of Assisi Church @ 5:45pm. (NEW START TIME) (25 miles @ 20mph pace) WEDNESDAY RIDE: Andy's Ride has ended for the season. Check back again in the spring. All ride locations can be found on our website @ http://www.raleighgyros.com/locations.htm THE PLAN: One or more groups will leave with the intent of riding as a group at a target pace. We will try to cover the same routes, albeit a shorter distance for the slower group, so if you're struggling or want to ride at an easier pace, you can move back to a slower group. If you're already in the slowest group, the ride leader will check to make sure you can make your way back alone or with another volunteer. You'll know within the first 7 miles whether or not you're strong enough to maintain the pace. The general rule is that you should be able to maintain at least a 19+mph pace for the A Group, 18mph pace for 40-50 miles with the B+ Group or a 16mph pace for 30-40 miles with the B Group, when considering which group to ride with. If you can not maintain these paces, then it is suggested that you consider the C/B- Sunday ride. (Please refer to the link above). Each group should make a concerted effort to keep the group together but there will always be those who want to pick up the pace on the return. It is more appropriate to do this the last 5-7 miles of a ride. The short hammer sessions, that are always inevitable during our rides, will not be affected.
