Saturday Longer/Faster Ride

ABC Riders,

 

Last Saturday we had to cancel our ride due to the weather. 🙁

 

This week we are departing from Richfield with our routes paying tribute to the Sweet Corn Challenge!  We will be departing from the heart of Richfield, just down from the original starting location for the Sweet Corn ride for some many years!  And we will ride many of the roads often featured in the Sweet Corn ride.  Come join us for our homage to a much beloved area ride that alas is no more.


The routes share the first 33 miles, so you can wait until then to decide!


Start Location

Richfield Woods Park

Temperatures are rising quickly in the mornings, reaching 80F usually by 11AM.  Bring ample hydration at the start of the ride.


There are many changes to our approach to our club rides due to the pandemic.  Please read the attached MSWord document and be prepared to abide by and support these new rules.  The health and safety of our riders is our primary objective.


A few callouts:

 

  • We will not be passing out or sharing materials during the ride.  This includes cue sheets.  Please bring to the ride some means of following the route, either your bike computer or a printout of the cue sheet.
  • And we will not be stopping as a group at any time for an organized, sit down food stop.  This is another CoViD thing.  To be safe, bring any hydration / nutrition you anticipate needing.  If needed, we can stop at a convenience store or gas station to get additional supplies.

 

See you Saturday,

Joe & Randy
