Bruce's Saturday Ride to Amy's Brunch - C-1-27

This Saturday ride is mostly on The Loop. We'll then take a short ride (about 3 miles) up to Amy's house for a wonderful brunch.

Attendance is limited to 20 in my group. Because Amy is providing brunch for us, it's important that if you sign up, you show up. Last minute cancellations keep other riders from participating.

This will be a social ride of 27 miles at a C pace (which means, depending on the wind, on this ride, about 12 - 12 1/2 mph average) over mostly flat roads. We'll regroup as needed and no one will be left behind due to a mechanical problem. Wheels rolling at 8:00.
