Gyromancers,

A lot of ride leaders will be missing in action this weekend.  For the A ride 
on Saturday, Tom Fissel has graciously taken over the lead.  He has already 
posted his ride but I've copied again below. (NOTE the 7:30am start time).

Both Leslie and Diana will be gone but Leslie will make it easy for anyone who 
wants to lead by posting a route for you to follow.  Her information will come. 
 This is so all you B riders can still ride.  Just because Leslie and Diana are 
not there is no excuse not to ride.  She is making it easy for you.  All anyone 
needs to do is take control.

Now for the schedule. (WAIVER IS ATTACHED)

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.
