*B Group "Regulars"* ...* So, in other words, if this is your first time or if it's been a while since you cycled with us (or a newbie @ the 5/25 ride) then out of courtesy and safety please contact me prior to showing up for our group ride.*
*Saturday B Group** averages 16 mph. Please find an alternate ride if this average does not meet your cycling needs. Our 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. * *With all of that said, let's meet at PUE 7:30am. This is the earliest we have met this year but the temps are hotter and I've talked to some of you and you seem to be okay with this ... for at least this weekend. ** The cue sheet (attached) shows 54 miles with an optional shortcut (that I may end up doing).* Please look over the map of the route (link below). It has few road changes at the beginning but the mileage stays the same. We can decide if we want to do this before we leave PUE.
