*B Group *...* **For our safety ... 1) 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.* * 2) Saturday B Group** averages 16 mph. Please find an alternate ride if this does not meet your cycling needs. 3) B group was created 2 years ago and based on the Gyro website ( http://www.raleighgyros.com/rides.htm) therefore our group **rides are for experienced cyclists with substantial group riding experience. We offer the Sunday Touring ride for those without this experience. *
*We are riding to BAHAMA (without riding up Cassam or Stagville)! Let's meet at PUE 7:30am for a 62 mile route (DennisGoesToBahama cue sheet attached). Note the cue sheet shows an optional 12 mile short cut and a 14 mile extension.* This is Dennis' last official ride with us (as a NC resident) so come on out! Leslie is leading a shorter 39 mile B group route *(PUE 7:30am**) **that keeps us together until the first rest stop *(Leslie's Bike Route cue sheet attached).
