A weather forecast of 30% chance of rain means that the weather
forecaster believes that it WILL RAIN over 30% of the forecast area.
Since a road ride covers a lot of distance, that increases the
possibility of being rained on as opposed to, say, will it rain at my
house or your house.
This is not to say that we shouldn't be more optimistic! :-)

Subject: [Gyros: 14831] 2/6 Weekly Ride Schedule!
G's,

TIME: Sunday 2/7 @ 8:30 am

MONDAY RIDE:
Hal's Ride is cancelled for the season.
TUESDAY RIDE:
Rick's Ride cancelled (Temporarily)

THURSDAY:
Dave's Ride is cancelled for the season.
All ride locations can be found on our website
@http://www.raleighgyros.com/locations.htm
THE PLAN:
One or more groups will leave with the intent of riding as a group
at a
target pace. We will try to cover the same routes, albeit a shorter
distance
for the slower group, so if you're struggling or want to ride at an
easier
pace, you can move back to a slower group. If you're already in the
slowest
group, the ride leader will check to make sure you can make your
way back
alone or with another volunteer. You'll know within the first 7 miles
whether or not you're strong enough to maintain the pace. The
general rule
is that you should be able to maintain at least a 19+mph pace for
the A
Group, 18mph pace for 40-50 miles with the B+ Group or a 16mph pace
for
30-40 miles with the B Group, when considering which group to ride
with. If
you can not maintain these paces, then it is suggested that you
consider the
C/B- Sunday ride. (Please refer to the link above).
Each group should make a concerted effort to keep the group
together but
there will always be those who want to pick up the pace on the
return. It is
more appropriate to do this the last 5-7 miles of a ride. The short
hammer
sessions, that are always inevitable during our rides, will not be
affected.
