Coffee House Ride - Coffeebar Roastery @ Midtown

## Details

About 12 miles C rating
9:00 AM

Start: Plumas Street Park

Ride Leader: Tim Sullivan

Description: The Coffee House Ride's destination this week is a new midtown spot for most of us. Hidden away in an alley between Virginia and Haskell is the Coffeebar Roastery. This is where they do their magic with the beans for this and their other two locations. Not quite the food and goodies selection of their larger places, but it certainly offers a great olfactory experience. PLEASE NOTE WHERE WE WILL BE MEETING - IT"S NOT HERE! We will gather up and depart from the old gym at Plumas Street Park (corner of Plumas & Monroe), then enjoy a lot of the recently redone neighborhood streets. Some climbing up into old SW Reno, then an easy cruise through historic old Reno 'hoods before ending up at the Roastery.

E-BIKE NOTE: The ride leader is unable to handle e-bike mechanical issues (battery failure, flat tires, etc.) during a ride. Please have a backup plan in place for these events. Class 2 e-bikes are not permitted as they are not covered by club insurance.

RIDE SWEEP: Most of these rides will NOT have an official "sweeper." The ride leader will regroup at certain points. We do not want to lose anyone. However, please note the ride level before signing up.

RIDE SERIES DESCRIPTION: The Pedaler Coffee House Rides are designed for those who want a relatively easy, social ride, with the main goal of hanging out for good pastry and espresso after the ride. Most would be rated D/C- and are fairly easy. We will depart from a different coffee house or bakery each time. Sometimes, when it warms up and we can start early, we will do breakfast rides.

NOTE: Check posting 2 hours before ride time for weather-related and other changes. Helmets are required and bikes should be in good working order. Please no ear buds or headphones. Be prepared with a spare tube and pump. Class 2 E-Bikes are not allowed.
