*B Group *...* **Please be courteous and contact me prior to showing up for our group ride* * if this is your first time or if it's been a while since you cycled with us (or you were not a regular on our 4/25 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. We offer the Sunday Touring ride for those without this experience. *
*Weather permitting let's meet at PUE 7:30am for a 62 mile route (cue sheet attached). Everyone seemed to like starting out earlier in the morning to beat the heat and cars.** If needed, there are plenty of ways to cut this ride short and still ride on beautiful roads. We can also opt to do the rainy day route.* Please look over the map of the route (link below).Thanks, Maria http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=NC-1847%2FPleasant+Union+Church+Rd&daddr=Mount+Vernon+Church+Rd%2FNC-1844+to:NC-1846%2FPeed+Rd+to:Ghoston+Rd%2FNC-1908+to:Bruce+Garner+Rd%2FNC-1711+to:Lawrence+Rd%2FNC-1710+to:NC-96%2FNC+Hwy+96+to:NC-56%2FNC+Hwy+56+to:Hester+Rd%2FNC-1129+to:NC-1635%2FTar+River+Rd+to:NC-1635%2FTar+River+Rd+to:US-15+to:NC-1135%2FSmith+Rd+to:NC-1132%2FSanders+Rd+to:NC-1136%2FW+Tally+Ho+Rd+to:NC-1004%2FOld+Route+75+to:Little+Mountain+Rd%2FNC-1137+to:NC-1126%2FRange+Rd+to:NC-1123+to:NC-1610%2FRange+Rd+to:Cassam+Rd%2FNC-1622+to:Amed+Rd%2FNC-1624+to:NC-1004%2FNC-1104%2FOld+75+Hwy+to:Cash+Rd%2FNC-1728+to:36.026542,-78.652153&geocode=FcaQJAIdS4VP-w%3BFQanJAIdfnhP-w%3BFRzqJAIdQH9P-w%3BFdZSJQId4qpP-w%3BFQRqJgId2rZQ-w%3BFfTEJgIdIJRQ-w%3BFRp6JwIdHQVR-w%3BFQh-JwIdtMhQ-w%3BFUjKJwIdKkxQ-w%3BFUJKKAId8DFQ-w%3BFb6jKAIdojBQ-w%3BFcSJKAIdBhNQ-w%3BFeHDKAIdg5pP-w%3BFXiFKAIdHAhP-w%3BFVKXKAId4sRO-w%3BFfCKKAIdwrxO-w%3BFROHKAId1oNO-w%3BFXRcKAIdZoJO-w%3BFZwCKAIdIKZN-w%3BFc0ZKAId5X1N-w%3BFYx3JwIdxENN-w%3BFe5WJwIdOmRN-w%3BFXqFJwIdmMFN-w%3BFSZ6JgIdduVO-w%3B&hl=en&mra=dme&mrcr=21&mrsp=24&sz=14&via=1,2&sll=36.034594,-78.674469&sspn=0.034288,0.079308&ie=UTF8&z=14 On Thu, May 7, 2009 at 8:27 AM, Logan <[email protected]> wrote: > > Nice route Tony.
