A pretty scenic challenging country ride from The Manda Community Center ---
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 Lawrence Chapel at mile 26. 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 1762 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 7:30 AM. Maybe even "roll-out" at 7:28 !!
STORE STOPS: at mile 10 (Coupland Citgo) & at mile 43 (Citgo Station in Elgin)
NOTE IV: Helmets are required on ALL rides.
Please check this sight before you leave home for any possible cancellation.
