Route 103 loop

FREE :)
This group is a no-drop group which means that I will sweep and/or wait for slower riders. I myself am not super-fast... fast riders are welcome to ride ahead and end early as long as they text me that they are safe when they finish.
The route is 27 miles with 2200 feet of climbing. There are a couple places where the grade reaches 12%. We ride Rte 11 from Newport to New London, then take 103A all the way to Newbury where we head back to Newport on 103.
I stop at a couple gas stations along the way for additional beverages and/or bathroom breaks.
I recommend 2 water bottles and 1-2 snacks.
Please bring a spare tube in case of a flat tire.
