I'm not sure which weather report you checked but the one I just saw is predicting snow starting Friday night into Saturday morning. I hope you are right because I'm tired of riding a trainer.

G's, Wow, A Saturday without rain!!! Looks like it will be a little chilly Saturday monring so lets plan on a 10:00am start. The temps look to be around 30 to 32 at that time. Looks to be a great day to get in the saddle so get out and ride. Here are the specs: SATURDAY RIDE (2/13) (A & A- GROUPS - Bert) MEETING PLACE: Pleasant Union Elem. (PUE) - (Directions: http://www.raleighgyros.com/locations.htm) TIME: Saturday 2/13 @ 10:00am RIDE DISTANCE: 50-55 miles (NO REST STOP UNLESS NEEDED) PACE: 18mph ROUTE: "Hells Route" We will cut out a couple of the hills to make the route between 50-55 miles. CUE SHEET: http://www.raleighgyros.com/cue_sheets.htm NOTES: We ride and work together as a group. We encourage county line sprints. We DO stop for mechanicals. (B GROUPS - Maria) Information to come but not sure from whom. SUNDAY RIDE (2/14): (COLD WEATHER IS PREDICTED FOR SUNDAY SO LOOK FOR A POSSIBLE RIDE POSTPONEMENT NOTICE) 1. Kim's Recovery Ride leaves from Blue Jay Point @ 9am. (38 miles @ 17-18mph pace) 2. Mike's Gyro Touring Ride (cancelled for this Sunday MONDAY RIDE: Hal's Ride is cancelled for the season. TUESDAY RIDE: Rick's Ride cancelled (Temporarily) WEDNESDAY: Andy's Ride is cancelled for the season. 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.
