A pretty scenic challenging country ride from The Manda Community Center ---
49 F at the start, sunny; with a North Northwest 10 MPH wind ---
NOTE I: No rest room facilities at the Manda Community Center [but there was 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 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 1633 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 55 miles.
Leaving promptly at 8:30 AM. Maybe even "roll-out" at 8:28 !!
STORE STOP: at mile 35 (Taylor - West Side Exxon)
NOTE II: Helmets are required on ALL rides.
Please check this sight before you leave home for any possible cancellation.
