Procrastinating Pedalers of Reno-Tahoe

*** Ride Specifics *** We will wrap up the summer coffee house rides with a return to Coffeebar on Mt Rose Street. (https://www.coffeebar.com/pages/coffeebar-reno) Espresso, wraps, all sorts of goodies. No hurry to get going on these cooler mornings, so back to 9:00AM for the start of a short ride through parts of old Reno, somewhat dependent on the status of road work on Arlington. Please park along one of the side streets, like Lander, if you drive to the start. *** The Basics *** The format of the Summer Coffee House Series is a social road ride with frequent regroups. Even though it's a road ride, you can ride anything with 2-4 wheels and yourself as the motor. Reno is home to many good local coffee houses, so this ride will attempt to start from a different one each time until I run out! Participant input is encouraged - I don't pretend to know all the good places! I will mix it up with the occasional breakfast ride - Ride to Eat, it doesn’t get much better! I will post the starting point and time 5-7 days ahead and hand out the route before the ride starts (route links, if available, are approximate). We ride for 1-2 hours or so. It may be flat, it may be hilly, we may just cruise the neighborhoods, but the plan is to do a relaxed ride and then hang out afterwards and drink espresso and eat pastries. Definitely NOT a hard-core training ride, (C/C+ Level) these rides will be be more like a C- or a D. Not officially "do not drop", but I haven't lost more than 10% of any group yet. The start time will vary as the weather warms up, so check Meetup before each ride. *** Legalese *** Unless the ride is posted “no drop,” you will be expected to maintain the pace set as stated in the ride description. It is important to confirm your ability to do this ride. Review the map/route sheet provided, and the ride rating as stated in the Ride Rating Sheet (http://www.pedalers.org/RideRatingSheet2017.pdf). If you have questions contact the ride host. Please RSVP only if you ARE attending. Helmets are required and bikes should be in good working order. Please no earbuds or headphones. If you have any questions about what a group ride with the Procrastinating Pedalers entails, please refer to our Ride Etiquette Sheet (http://www.pedalers.org/PP_Group_Ride_Etiquette.pdf). The ride leaves at the posted time. Please be signed in and ready to ride five minutes before that time. Check the Meetup posting a couple of hours before the ride, to make sure that there are no changes. The Procrastinating Pedalers welcome E-bikes on our rides. (Class 1,2 and 3) However, it is important to make sure that you, and the bike, are capable of doing the ride that you select.
