A pretty scenic challenging country ride from The Manda Community Center --- an early start to try and "Beat-the-Heat".
NOTE I: No rest room facilities at the Manda Community Center [but there is a BIG tree, looking kinda' dry right now, out back of the Community Center for some ride start privacy !!]
We'll ride on some quiet country roads (some new & some we've ridden before, but in a different direction). I'm trying to note that there are LOTS of "BAD/ROUGH" roads on this route: in the act/spirit of transparency ---- air up your tires accordingly -- there is no extra charge for all these bad roads ---i.e. you will be riding at your own risk !!
Just 1458 ft. of climbing---per RIDEwithGPS !
This is a "B-" paced "no-drop" ride. Please be able to maintain a 15.0 - 16.5 mph pace for 52 miles.
Leaving promptly at 6:30 AM. Maybe even "roll-out" at 6:28 !!
2 STORE STOPS: at mile 29 (the Citgo Station in Elgin), & at mile 45 (corner of Voelker & 290)
NOTE IV: Helmets are required on ALL rides..
Please check this sight before you leave home for any possible cancellation.
