Leslie has suggested that I post a B ride alternative for any riders not going to Pilot Mt. who would like a 16 mph no drop ride for tomorrow. I'm posting a google maps-pedometer route for a 45 mile ride out of the Stony Hill #1 Fire Station on Stony Hill Rd. Please park in the parking lot of the old station not in the parking lot of the new. A que sheet will follow. Pace will be around 16 mph with a rest stop at 22 miles in Franklinton. As usual this will be a no drop ride. If there are enough riders who want a slightly faster pace we will split into a B and B+ group, but someone will have to step up and offer to lead the B+ ride as I will be committed to staying with the 15-16 mph no drop group. The no drop group will regroup at the top of the hills. If there are enough riders opting for a faster B+ pace (17-19 mph) there will be an option for riders to drop off the lead group and be picked up by the trailing no drop group. This route is a slight variation on one of the favorite routes of the Tuesday/Thursday morning Stony Hill ride (a mixture of A, A- and B+) riders who will typically ride the route around 17-19 mph depending on numbers of riders and headwind. So I think a 15-16 mph pace will be very doable for B level riders. There are also alternative rest stops around 14 and 33 miles if anyone needs a restroom or regroup alternative. Here's the link:

Please respond if you plan to ride and give a preference for standard or B+ pace, so I will have an idea about group size and the possibility of accommodating a B/B+ split. -- You received this message because you subscribed to the Gyro email group.
