Folks, Due to time constraints I cannot do the full ride. If we want to make this the B ride I will lead it. Otherwise I will go with the group and turn off early. Here is the route.
It is 37 miles. We can do a 16 pace no stop We will leave at 10 SHARP (again time constraints). Let me know if B riders want to do this or if I should go with Bert. http://ridewithgps.com/routes/33903 Ed > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of > [email protected] > Sent: Thursday, February 18, 2010 8:09 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [Gyros: 14903] weekend Ride Schedule 2-20-2010 > > G's > > A Saturday without rain!!!
