Due to the PBA Party Saturday night, the Adventure Ride will roll at 11AM Sunday! Please arrive 15 minutes before the ride to divide up groups and for safety announcements
The weather forecast is cloudy, mid 60's to low 70's, and a moderate SSW wind.
Please download the route.
Route:
AR 30 Plano Pkwy
The route is 30ish miles, with a rest stop around mile 19.
We will divide in the parking lot into groups.
Group 1 needs to keep it under 17.5 average -- however, if you roll with group 1 and are gapping, wait for the next group to pick you up. The next group will likely be 17ish. Group 3 will be 16-17. and Group 4 will ride to the slowest rider, and divide up if the group is not properly gelling.
The first and second group that rolls is expected to rotate, and share the pulls. If you are not comfortable rotating, do not go with the first or second group. The proper way to rotate is one person rotates at a time -- and we expect the person who pulls off the front to rotate ALL THE WAY TO THE BACK.
Due the cold, we have not been able to ride much outdoors. Please have patience and be kind to the other riders.
The official range is 14-17+ average speed. Average speed means that that will be the average at the end of the ride. Which means -- we will often roll at speeds far exceeding the average.
IF YOU ARE NEW TO GROUP RIDING - please go with the last group to roll. This group has riders who are able to spend time and explain the nuances of group riding and how to be a safe group rider.
All levels of the Adventure Ride are about learning how to be a better group rider and be better aware of the group around you. Be predictable, no big movements, follow the directions of the ride leader AND the sweeper, be kind to one another -- if someone is doing something incorrectly -- teach them the proper way. Be the example!!! this is how we all get better and have a fun and safe ride.
Please arrive by 10:45AM for pre-ride announcements and group split instructions.
