*B Group *...* **For our safety ... 1) **If this is your first time or if it's been a while since you cycled with us **please be courteous and contact me prior to showing up for our group ride.** ** 2) Saturday B Group** averages 16 mph and is a no drop ride. 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 categories/levels web page (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. *
*Let's meet at PUE 7:30am for this 62 mile route** (RangeEnonRange cue sheet is attached)**. * Leslie leads our shorter 40 mile route and also meets at PUE 7:30 am. We will ride together to the first rest stop and then split (Bike Route cue sheet is attached).
