A pretty scenic challenging country ride from The Manda Community Center ---
An EARLY start to "Beat-the-Heat" ----- 75 F at the start. South wind at 5 - 10 MPH.
NOTE I: No rest room facilities at the Manda Community Center [but there is a small shed behind the Community Center for some ride start privacy !!]
NOTE II: Visiting the DONKEYS at mile 15, Bring some DONKEY TREATS (carrots) !!
NOTE III: Visiting Lawrence Chapel at mile 25. Photo op ?
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 1707 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 54 miles.
Leaving promptly at 7:00 AM. Maybe even "roll-out" at 6:58 !!
STORE STOPS: at mile 10 (Coupland Citgo) & at mile 46 (Doc's Country Store)
NOTE IV: Helmets are required on ALL rides.
Please check this sight before you leave home for any possible cancellation.
