Summer Coffee House Rides - Josef's #2

About 18 miles C rating
Meet at 8:15, ride at 8:30AM
Start: Josef's Vienna Bakery #2 on Plumb Lane
Ride Leader: Tim Sullivan

Description: Coffee House series begins its season wind-up this week with a ride from the newest incarnation of Josef's Vienna Bakery. This can be either a coffee+pastry-only ride or a breakfast ride depending on your preference.

Josef's new spot used to be the Rattlesnake Club (no idea where that name came from) and is next to the Stone House. The quaint little coffee shop with the courtyard is gone as Josef's seems to have taken over. Lots of great outside seating.

Because Josef's now has two locations; the end-of-season ride will go from their original cafe! The ride starts in the parking lot next to 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 with one last climb before breakfast. Known for their Eggs Benedict, but lots of other great food on the menu if you're staying for breakfast.

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 C/C-. We will depart from a different coffee house or bakery each time. When it warms up and we can start early, we will do breakfast rides (open to real members only, and subject to sign-up deadlines!).

E-BIKE NOTE: The ride leader is unable to handle e-bike mechanical issues (battery failure, flat tires, etc). Please have a backup plan 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 aim to regroup at certain points. We do not want to lose anyone; however, please note the ride levels (C).
