🚴 🏊‍♀️ Group Velo Ride: Lake Paladru (Lac de Paladru) 50km

(Event Under Development; it will be updated during Friday and Saturday)

A substitute event for those that were originally RSVP'd to ride to Vizille and still want to ride on Sunday 1st may:

• This will be a 50km ride way (instead of a 20km ride to Vizille)
• This ride will include a 600+ meter climb (as opposed to 0m elevation change To Vizille; for Comparison, a ride to Col de Port would be ~1000m climb/elevation gain)

So this will be for a bit more-experienced cyclists, or those that wish to become so (no one will be left behind)

=== Agenda (DRAFT) ===

• 08:30-09:00: Queue at Gare Grenoble, Coffee ☕️
• 09:00-11:45: Ride to Paladru, stopping as needed.
• 11:45-13:00: Picnic / Swimming (negotiable based on air and water temperature)
• 13:00-15h+: Ride [back] to Grenoble

(We may stop for Fuel ☕️🫒🧀 🥐 at some point)

(I'm unfamiliar with the route, so please ensure your cell phones are 100% charged)

=== Beaches ===
🏊 🤔🏊‍♀️🤔
I understand that Lake Paladru is private property, but there are municipal beaches that should be open to the public. We may need to encircle the lake en Velo to find a good spot. Please bring a few euros in case they're charging an entrance fee.

=== Note 📝 ===

I'm looking for riders/persons more-familiar with Lake Paladru, as I've never ridden there myself, so I'm unfamiliar with the best beaches/spots for swimming/picnic. I understand some of them are private….
