We could do a stop in Creedmoor @ 20 miles. That's really the only pit
stop.

G-Men & Women,
It is going to be extremely hot and humid on Saturday. Therefore, I am
recommending a shorter ride and an earlier start. We'll leave @ 7:30am -
Shady Grove Church
Since the A- Group has no leader this weekend, they are more than welcome
to join us. We'll keep it tame! With the heat, I don't think anyone will
be up too pushing hard nor will it make any sense. The route keeps us
close to home so if anyone were to drop out it'll be easy to get back.
(WAIVER IS ATTACHED - Please sign and give to your ride leader).

2. Tony's "Easy Rider" Training Ride
There will be no Easy Rider Ride for this Thursday.
All ride locations can be found on our website
@http://www.raleighgyros.com/locions.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.
