Meet at The Grove (NWX), Saturday (Feb 28th), 11am start time.  It's looking like it will be another good riding weather day. 

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 at the stop sign at the end of Fryear(https://maps.app.goo.gl/w7MsH7AiJHLGL12i9), 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

This Saturday looks like another great weather day for riding!  I unfortunately will miss it, as I'm out of town, but I hope we keep the momentum going and everyone else gets out for a Lower Bridge ride.
Enjoy!
