Subject: PPTC SEP 1994 RIDE SCHEDULE (1000+ lines)
PLEASE NOTE: This message is about 1000 lines long ( ~ 40KB )
The Potomac Pedalers Touring Club Ride Schedule is published monthly
in the Pedal Patter follows. Please check the Pedal Patter for any
changes, corrections, etc.
PPTC NON-MEMBERS may call (202)363-TOUR for information about PPTC,
other bicycling organizations and special events.
We always need people willing to lead rides. Over 400 cue-sheets of time
tested rides are available for ride leaders to select from. Cue sheets
and maps can be obtained from Ride Coordinators when you agree to lead a ri=
de.
Names and telephone numbers for ride coordinators are listed on page two
of each Pedal Patter.
KEY TO RIDE CATEGORIES:
-----------------------
PPTC, in its endeavor to meet the desires of its very diverse
membership, has developed the following ride classifications.
D: Casual/Social; Avg Spd =3D 10 MPH; Dist =3D 10-20 mi
C: Short Touring; Avg Spd =3D 11 MPH; Dist =3D 20-30 mi
CC: Easy Touring; Avg Spd =3D 13 MPH; Dist =3D 30-50 mi
B: Touring; Avg Spd =3D 15 MPH; Dist =3D 30-70 mi
A: Fast Touring; Avg Spd =3D 17 MPH; Dist =3D 35-100 mi
AA: Training; Avg Spd =3D 19 MPH; Dist =3D 35-100 mi
Intervals of faster riding.
Hills attacked aggressively.
AX: Fast Training; Avg Spd =3D 20+ MPH; Dist =3D 10-20 mi
For race-oriented riders.
Must be Familiar with Pace-line
riding.
R: Radonneur; Avg Spd =3D 15 MPH; Dist =3D at least 123 mi
ATB: All Terrain; Speed & distances vary.
(H) indicates a hilly ride.
Ride leaders, unless they indicate otherwise, stay within
2 mph and 5 miles of the advertised pace and distance.
KEY TO RIDE STARTING LOCATIONS:
-------------------------------
Detailed directions to ride start locations (with 3-letter code in
parentheses) are provided in the PPTC Reference Manual which is provided
to each PPTC member.
KEY TO TEMPERATURE/PRECIPITATION INDICATORS:
--------------------------------------------
Many rides will state minimum 'GO' conditions at the end of the first line
of the ride description. For example, 40deg/40% means the ride will go if
the predicted hig temperature is at least 40 degrees and the probability
of precipitation is lower than 40%. If the the predicted high temperature
is lower than 40 degrees OR the probability of precipitation is 50% or
higher, the ride will be cancelled. As a general rule, if it is raining or
snowing at the time any ride is to start, or if the roads are icy or snow
covered, the ride will be cancelled. The C&P forecast at 936-1212 two hour=
s
befor the ride is to start will be the determinant. Call the ride leader i=
f
in doubt.

AX/AA * 70ish * MD * 8 AM * Potomac ES (POT) * 50%

AA(HHH) * 67 * VA * 10 AM * Nelly's Ford Grocery Store
Wintergreen/Montebello Bridge to Bridge Warm-up. (Directions:
Nelly's Ford is on Rte 151 south of Charlottesville. Plans are to
carpool from Tyler ES (TYL) leaving at 7:30 AM.) Should be back at
6:30 or 7 PM at the latest. Riders can stay overnight at the Acorn
Inn at the base of Wintergreen before or after the ride. Ride will
do the treacherously steep Reed's Gap (2756 ft) 5 mi into the ride
and save the longer but mentally easier Montebello (3150 ft) till
mi 34. The 15 mi descent down Montebello is worth the trip, but
there is still the climb of Horseshoe Mtn (1837 ft) and its
switch-backed descent to play with too. Warning!! do not try to
follow the ride leader down this descent. It could be hazardous to
your health. Better put the BIGGEST cog you can find on your
freewheel for this one. CALL RIDE LEADER IF YOU PLAN TO GO TO HELP
SORT OUT CAR POOL ARRANGEMENTS OR IN CASE OF EXTREME WEATHER
CONDITIONS.

Edinburgh Gap. (Directions: In the reference manual, the start
location directions mention a High's at the turn onto Jackson St.
This store may no longer exist. Look for the street name.) Ride

victims who show up. There are a few hills so be prepared to sweat
a bit.
Fred "No Mercy" Robbins (703) 765-5435.
B(H) * 55 * VA * 9:30 AM * MARSHALL (MAR)

Homestead Farm. Raspberries have been fattened by the July rains
and should be great! The price is $2.75/lb. Bring helmets, locks

Douglas J. Kunzman (703) 533-3165.
C/CC * 35 * VA * 10 AM * Front Royal (FRO)

September 4 Sunday
CASANOVA PICNIC RIDES
Giovanni Casanova was a philanderous lover who lived in the 18th
century. Come to the small town in the Virginia countryside that
is named after this illustrious person. What are the secrets
hidden in this small community that the founding fathers would name
a town after this famous lover? Riding through the backroads from
Nokesville to Casanova, we may find the clues to unravel this
mystery. All rides will meet at the store in Casanova for a
picnic. Bring or buy your lunch at the store (simple sandwiches
are available). Drinks are also available. Maybe you can meet the
person of your dreams at this social event. NOTE: Nokesville
Community Park is 1/2 mile from Brentsville District HS (BRE) (left

and Bob Friedman -- coordinators -- (703) 978-7937

A * 65 * MD * 8:45 AM * Laytons Village SC (LAV)
Yes, Laytonsville Again. Same ride leader as Saturday, but not the
same route. This route is much easier and only has a few hills.

The (Joint) Search for the Holy Grail II and BASH. Bill and Tim
returned chilled and empty handed from their March version of this
ride -- no Grail. We will thus follow a somewhat new & shadier
course, with more evil rabbits & trolls, and even more terrible
things unmentionable, and Tim's singing the lumberjack song (the
mere thought of which is enough to make anybody go "Ni" in the
knight). We will joust with the clipless horsemen from the
Frederick Pedalers. Two reSTops, two ride leaders, two PPTC
groups, two bike clubs, AND an option to join the Barnesville BASH:
too bad if you miss this!
Dan Lehman (703) 845-6633 or Tim Guilford (301) 926-0082.
B * 59-67 * MD * 8:17 AM * Poolesville HS (POO)
The (Joint) Search for the Holy Grail II and BASH. As the "A"
riDEscription says, Bill & Tim failed to find the Holy Grail on
their March "A/AA" ride, quite possibly because "A/AA" riders go
too Awfully fAAAst to notice Anything AwAy from their AssociAtes'
AccelerAting AfterpArts!? We, however, will "B" Better Bikers and
l-OO-k Beyond our Buddies' Backsides to the Bountifully Beautiful
Bucolic environs, and I Bet we Bag the Booty Before they do! Of
course, we'll share many of the same evil raBBits & trolls, ...,
But might miss Tim's singing the lumberjack song. We ride
essentially the same route, and similarly have a "B" Barnesville
BASH option. Ride leaders will lead & sweep at real "B" pace(s).

time.

C * 25 * MD * 8:15 AM * Monocacy ES (MON)
Bash Helper Ride. Take an early morning spin before helping to
prepare the food and set up for the Bash. To make up for the fact

by Thursday, September 8. If cancelled because of rain, ride will
go on rain date.
Barbara Good (301) 871-6232.

Loudoun Valley SC (LOV), at the SC turn right on Maple Ave (Rt 722)
and go half mile to school on right, adjoins W&OD trail. Note:

invigorating rides in the area. Cycle to Elkwallow (50 miles R/T)
or to Panorama (65 miles R/T) on Skyline Drive and return via same

perspiring climbs and thrilling, chilling, downhill runs. Bring
low gears or Campy legs (the hills are not really that steep, just
looong). Elevation maps privded. Food available at Elkwallow (25

Over Hill, Over Dale. (Directions: Follow the directions to just
