An irregular Saturday group ride leaving from Mebane Community Park.

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.

Your responsibility as part of the group is to RSVP and supply your own cue sheet or download the GPS file.
