June 7th, UAF 200 K

[Spencer Klaassen]

To all,

This is the last ride until Fall for Kansas City.  It is a UAF 200 K.  The UAF rules are a bit different from typical ACP randonneuring.

A UAF ride is a group ride with longer (mandated) stops.  I learned a lot from our National UAF 600 K last weekend both from the riding and support aspect.  That said, we won't have any outside support for this event, but the rest of the rules stay in place.  

We have a detour, as there are three bridges out south of Eudora (you can ask Drew and John S. how fun they were when doing a hike-a-bike method).  Give me a little time to hammer out the GPS track and the very complicated (but very accurate UAF Cue sheet).  Lunch is at Smoked Creations in Ottawa:   https://www.smokedcreationsbbq.com/

I will contact the ride captains for the event in a separate e-mail.  

If you have any questions, feel free to send me an e-mail.

If interested in dinner and an adult beverage on Friday night, let me know.  Joe, Rod and I plan to stay near the start on Friday night. 

Ride lots,

Spencer
