Meet at The Grove (NWX), Saturday May 23rd, 9am start time. 

We will be riding from Bend to top of McKenzie Pass and back, roughly 85miles. This is the route (more or less, as we may improvise some slight variations on the way back) that we will be taking: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/55231190

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.

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

Looking forward to it Matt!  We can top in Sisters at the Park and grab water on the way back.
