BT 50 - Birthday Ride!

We have a milestone birthday for one of our fellow Drafters - Lesley Reilly hits the big Five 0 on this day ...so how better to celebrate than with ride a 50-mile ride from Bottle Theory.
BT 50 - Shearon Harris

This clockwise route begins and ends at Bottle Theory in Apex with the first rest stop at Merry Oaks on Old US 1 (mile 26). The route then continues down Old US 1 to Pea Ridge Rd, heading north to the second planned rest stop at Cruisers at Wilsonville (mile 39).

Please arrive early so we can do the safety dance, introductions, and leave together promptly at 9:00. Bring plenty of water and whatever form of nutrition and electrolytes work for you. Also, no motorized bikes or e-bikes are allowed for this ride.

According to Ride with GPS, the terrain is rolling hills with about 1,900 ft 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. If you crave serious food, Mezcalitos is next door and you can bring your take-out order to BT.

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: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfZ7Gz6Zi9mbhgyt4KFo2ZLCRYaYSBXijcRYa6laoh_3O8dEA/viewform
