Bottle Theory 40

Come join us November 15th for a beautiful fall ride on the country roads of Chatham County. Yes, it is short notice, but it’s time to be spontaneous! The weather looks amazing with 60 degrees at the start and low 70s at the finish.

Please arrive early so we can do the safety dance, introductions, and leave together promptly at 10:00. Bring plenty of water and whatever form of nutrition and electrolytes work for you.

This 40ish-mile route (https://ridewithgps.com/routes/49319377) heads west from Bottle Theory in Apex to Jordan Lake and south to Old US 1 where we'll have a planned convenience store rest stop at mile 22. We'll then work our way north on Beaver Creek and Farrington Roads back towards Bottle Theory. The terrain is rolling hills with about 1,500 feet of climbing. I plan on riding at about a 16mph average (+/- depending on the group). This is not a no-drop ride, but as long as you can maintain at least a 15mph average for the entire ride you won't ride alone.

We'll gather up for post-ride refreshments at Bottle Theory.

Again, please bring two water bottles, and as always, helmet, spare tube and basic tools are required.

If you haven't done so, please sign the digital waiver:
