Saturday Lower Bridge road ride, 10am Saturday April 25

[Matt Allen]

Meet at The Grove (NWX), Saturday (April 25th), 10am start time.  

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.

For anyone interested in this ride that might not be familiar with this route, here are the details: https://www.strava.com/routes/3058152556599195686

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.  

Have fun, stay safe, and ride fast!
Kindly,
Matt

See you then!

Hi all, thanks for letting me hop on the train today. Great group and a fast pace.

I want to apologize for dropping the bottle. Safety is the priority in a pack like that, and I feel terrible about putting those behind me in a tight spot. Thanks for having me along regardless; I’m looking forward to the next ride and keeping things much tighter on my end.

See you out there,

David

David. 

No problem. Things happen. Especially when we are going hard and everyone is on the limit.
