*B Group *...* **For our safety, be courteous and contact me prior to showing up for our B 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. *
*PUE @ 7:30am for a 53 mile route (cue sheet attached). **Ken will help me lead the route this weekend. **Thanks Ken! * Maria On Thu, May 14, 2009 at 5:17 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > >Hey Tony: I am scheduled for a long ride this weekend, is the cue sheet > the Grassy Creek course, I did not see any 112 nor 72 mile courses.
