Subject: [Gyros: 15130] 3/27/10 Week Ride Schedule
G's
Saturday looks to be another good day for riding but with the temps
being
a little cooler. The temps look to be in the low 40s at 9:00am and
it is
only going to get into the upper 50s for the day, so let's plan on a
9:00am start time. With the temps being a little cooler lets make
it a
shorter route than from last weekend. Let's plan on doing Range
Route II,
but we will be leaving from Ravenstone Plaza Shopping Center which
will
make the route ~60 miles. The specs are below.
I have attached a copy of the Gyros Waiver & Liability Form. If
you have
not signed one and plan on joining us this weekend, please print it
out
sign it and bring it with you to the start of the ride on Saturday
morning. We will be meeting at Ravenstone Plaza (corner of Hwy 98
and
Patterson Road)

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.
