Bruce's Horses with No Climbing Short Ride - C/1/22

Hi Everyone - This will be a short ride starting on the east side. It's still Horses at both ends of the ride, but shorter and without any climbing. If you have time at the end of the ride, we can have coffee on the patio at Le Buzz.

We'll start at Street Tacos (just across the parking lot from eegees), loop around Woodland to see the horses, and then head east on Tanque Verde to the 49ers golf course and out to the end of Speedway.

This will be a social ride of 22 miles at a C pace (which means, on this ride, about 12-13 mph average). We'll regroup as needed, and no one will be left behind due to a mechanical problem. Come early to sign in, and we'll get our wheels rolling at 7:00.

No Plus 1's - Each participant must register through Meetup and provide their contact info beforehand.
