Meet at The Grove (NWX), Saturday (May 2nd), 10am start time.
Trying to work around the lingering prescribed burn smoke that has been sitting on the westside these past few mornings. It has consistently cleared out somewhere around 10 each morning. Also, we should be safe if it does not as we'll be heading north for the first segment of the ride.

There will be a short rolling
regroup at a couple key spots on the route, but please be aware that
this is not a "no drop" ride. Please show up self sufficient.
All that said, we are going to keep with the two short full stops on the route (with about 2 min stops), with the intention of making the ride just a little bit more manageable and inclusive for those being really challenged fitness wise. We will stop about a half mile down Holmes Road from the stop sign at the end of Fryear(https://maps.app.goo.gl/DaLyYuHi3zhSvbg17), and here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/kQ1GV61kAdWsvFXu6, which should split the route into roughly thirds.

Anyone
looking to level up their group riding skills, this is a great
opportunity to jump in, learn, and push yourself. This
group tends to be more of an experienced group, and falls into a
natural mix of fast but steady collaborative pace line riding
and harder competitive riding. There isn't a predetermined pace,
that will be determined by who shows up and the group dynamic out on the
road, but generally speaking this ride tends to be on the faster side of the spectrum.
See you all tomorrow!
Best,
Ryan
