C pace (13-14mph) ride (28 mi) - Saturday July 12, 8:10am - Wilson Park

Ride leader (Rob) plans to maintain at least a 13mph average pace.

We will ride between 12-13mph initially to make sure everyone is warmed up. Faster riders are welcome to start with us and form your own group.

Riders who form a separate group, or who leave the ride, are kindly asked to notify the ride leader so we don't go looking for you.

Slower riders are also welcome to bring a buddy to ride with (use the comments section to recruit same-paced riders:-).

We'll start the ride with introductions and sharing favorite safety tips, so come prepared! Look for us at the lower level parking lot (silver Ford Fusion).

It will be hot and humid, so we will leave at 8:10am. Please be sure to bring enough water for the ride.

We will take a break at half-way, which will be just before NC 54

Please respond to this posting with RSVP so leaders can know estimate of attendees and notify you of any updates due to weather, etc.
We'll have a few cue sheets, but please print one or download the route to your device.

This ride is not for the new or inexperienced rider. You should have a road bike, be able to follow a cue sheet, be comfortable riding in a group, and managing personal hydration/nutrition.
