A-20 ride, Underwoods, Unpleasant and Cyanide! *9:00 AM*, 20-21 mph, 62 mi

May 31 Edition: We will be taking a northern loop with a hydration stop at Underwoods (mile 36). Afterwards we will have two opportunities to stress/strengthen the legs.

St Mary' to Cole Mill aka Unpleasant Green (after we cross St. Marys and until the yellow stop sign) regroup at Cole Mill
Cyanide!! 4.5 miles long and painful. Good thing there is the Sidetrack bar at the end. Several will surely stop for a close to the end of the ride.

Soft pedal back to the park along Millhouse (it is supposed to be open for the weekend)

What to expect:

• Ride length of ~60 miles, occasionally shorter/longer, at 20-21 mph
• Max group size of 22. If there are more than that we will divide into two groups before the start. (Group 1 will be at the upper range of the target pace with significant efforts at the designated segments, Group 2 will start a few minutes later and will not be quite as intense.)
• Double paceline ride with friendly and relaxed attitude/conversation
• 10-15 minute stop along the way for hydration, fuel, and socializing
• A few friendly and competitive "go hard" segments with a regroup at designated spots. (However, not a no-drop ride)
• Post ride continue the social/beverage option

RSVP is required for all riders who either start at WP or plan to join the ride on the road.
