PACE: Will adhere to 16-18 mph on flats with equivalent effort (but not speed) on hill climbs and use cautious descents. We will regroup (within reason) at tops of hills, but will not wait for fixing flats or mechanical issues so come prepared with everything you need. Please print and bring a cue sheet with you in case you become separated from the group. Faster paced riders are welcome and encouraged to join, but for them the ride will be self-guided. The route offers many bailout options, noted on the cue sheet.
