Carolina Tarwheels Cycling Club

Will post alternate routes Saturday evening and we can decide which one in the AM!

Early Easter Scramble™ from MLK Jr Park to SAX, averaging 18’ish mph. Your choice to drive the pace, punch the hills or lay back and suck a wheel -- let's be safe, call out hazards and show respect to those around you. We can re-group at major intersections if necessary to keep the group together. We may stop at Cup 22 or just go non stop depending on the weather. On the return, feel free to take off once we hit Dairyland Road for the final 7 miles.

No ride if raining or severe threat. All usual Tarwheels rules apply regarding waiver and behavior. If you have not recently looked over Tarwheels ride policies, please take a moment to consult:

Make sure that you have filled out the waiver before attending this ride.
Guests are asked to fill out a waiver for each ride. Members need only do it once per calendar year.

The updated route for April 7:
https://ridewithgps.com/routes/53582921

Head and taillights are now required! Headlights must be bright enough to for you to see by, an in-town lamp powered by disposable batteries doesn't fit the bill. A loaner can often be arranged, post a comment and we'll try to arrange one.

The tail light must be red and should be run in steady, not flash, mode.

We'll keep the group together for safety. There is no sprinting on Union Grove (or elsewhere) until spring, and sufficient light, returns.

```
NOTE:

• The ride is limited of 16 participants.
• RSVP IS REQUIRED for all riders.
• If you plan to join the ride in progress, please leave a comment indicating where you intend to meet us.

The ride will be canceled in the event of rain or other water-based precipitation or if the temperature is expected to drop below freezing at any point during the ride.

It is Tarwheels policy for all riders to sign the ride waiver before coming out to the ride.

*** WAIVER *** http://tarwheels.net/ewaiver

MEMBERS need only do this ONCE a YEAR. NON-MEMBERS are required to do this before EACH RIDE, please consider becoming a member.

Please consult the Tarwheels website for Ride policies (http://tarwheels.net/wp/policies/) and the BikeWalkNC website for guidance on riding in pacelines. Group Bicycling Best Practices: Skills and Techniques (http://www.bikewalknc.org/group-bicycling-best-practices-skills-and-techniques/).

Historical Note: The ride was initially established in 2007 as a MS-150 training ride by Teams GSK and NORTEL. The name IGNITER Indefatigable [team] GSK Nortel Invigorating Tuesday Evening Ride originated because participants continued to ride even when temperatures and daylight were low.
