B Group 4/25: Let's meet at PUE 9am for a 50 - 60 mile route. I'll post a cue sheet tomorrow evening.
*Please remember Saturday B Group rides are for cyclists with extensive group riding experience. This is for our safety. Please see the Gyro website for details and articles about group riding. We offer the Sunday Touring ride for those without this experience. If you have not cycled with us before then please contact me prior to showing up for our group ride.
