*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 contact Tony (** [email protected])* *for an alternate ride if this pace 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. *
*Ken is leading our Cross the Creeks route! I've talked to several of you and 7am is also a good start time for the hot summer rides so let's meet at PUE 7:00am for a 59 mile route (Cross the Creeks cue sheet is attached). Please note, the first Rest Stop will be 36 miles into the ride, in Stem. * Leslie is leading a shorter 40 mile B group route *(PUE 7:00am**). Their group will split at Old Weaver Trail* & New Light Rd (Leslie's Bike Route cue sheet is attached). This is a great way to get in a good ride but still get home before the temps get too hot. Enjoy and Ride Safe!
