Saturday Lower Bridge road ride, 9am Saturday May 9

[Matt Allen]

Meet at The Grove (NWX), Saturday (May 9th), 9am start time.  

FYI, this will likely be a smaller group this week as several of the regulars (myself included) are racing Barton Park Road Race (https://dialedperformancecoaching.com/barton-park-road-race/), and others are planning on riding Mckenzie Pass since it is that time of year when cars are not up there yet. 

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.  

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