Coffee House Breakfast Ride - Josef's Vienna Bakery - CLUB MEMBERS ONLY

About 16 miles C rating
8:30AM
Start: Josef's Vienna Bakery and Cafe
Ride Leader: Tim Sullivan

Description: Coffee House series begins its season wind-up this week with the traditional breakfast ride from Josef's Vienna Bakery. Because it's a breakfast ride, the eating part is open to club members only. Moved the day up a couple of weeks to take advantage of the nice weather; the end-of-season ride will go from somewhere else this time! The ride starts in the parking lot in front of Josef's, then heads over Windy Hill into the south Reno ranch land for a 'no-outlet' tour. A few hills at the start then flat until heading back over Windy Hill for breakfast. Known for their Eggs Benedict, but lots of other great food on the menu - the picture is their French toast.

Josef's needs a count of people before we arrive so that they can make sure outside seating is available. I NEED RSVPs by TUESDAY NOON. No exceptions.

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.
