Since the trails are muddy, let's try a road ride!

Expect at least 40 km at an average pace of maybe low-20s km/h. To put this in perspective:

  • For a "serious" road group, this is a very easy pace.
  • For a casual road group (ex. mix of drop-bar road bikes and flat-bar road bikes), this is at least intermediate.
  • For anyone choosing to attend on a mountain bike, the pace will feel fast. Skinny road tires are recommended!

If there's interest, I may do some extra riding at a higher pace after the main group leaves.

This is NOT a no-drop ride! If anyone struggles with the pace, we'll do one early regroup to discuss how to proceed, then "rolling regroups". We'll probably stop for a quick snack after maybe 1.5 h.

I'll park here and improvise the route on semi-familiar roads, some of which I know and others that look promising on Google Street View.

Please let me know if you have questions. Hope you can make it!

NOTE: This is just a casual group ride; I am not responsible for anyone's safety. Riders are expected to be self-sufficient with adequate water, food, tools, spares, and clothing.
