Place: St. Francis of Assisi Date: Tuesday, June 15 Time: 5:45pm Course: See below Distance: 32miles Pace: 22-23
Let's try this again. We will make a slight change in our finishing stretch. The course is the same until we make the left turn onto 98 from Patterson on the run home. I will pick up the course at that point: ...Patterson to 98 (L) 98 to Kemp (R) Kemp to Coley (R) Coley to Carpentar Pd (L) Carpenter Pd to Hickory Grove (R) Hickory Grove to Circle K (Kicks parking lot) So, we have 2 changes for everyone to be aware of. First, we skip Olive Branch and head directly to Kemp. Second, we race all the way up Hickory Grove until we hit the driveway to Kicks (this gives enough distance to the light if we do have a duel). The Kemp/Coley finish always makes for some interesting riding. It is perfect for our power guys. And, strategy changes in the final miles with the race up Hickory Grove. Those who may have fallen off on the climb up Kemp could still scratch their way back up Coley, and, if they have not closed the gap there is still time to latch back because of the added stretch up Hickory Grove. It has happened in past years, as 4 or 5 dropped riders re-organized into an effective chase group and caught the break. Bert was the driving force... The first rider in wins the "Rider of the Night" award. Your name will be carved into the Rick's Ride trophy, and you get to keep this at your home between rides. Like the Stanley Cup. Now, if we can get Tony to approve the funds for purchasing this trophy!! Rick -- You received this message because you subscribed to the Gyro email group.
