Saturday, Mar 10th 0730

Note: yet another different route***

Sunrise Ride

MEET:  At the Chevron station <http://gccfla.org/ridelocnw.html>  on the corner of NW 43rd St and 53rd Ave.

PARK:  In the Chevron station, along NW 43rd St.

             Start at the north end and work south.

             Do not park in the slots alongside the station or along NW 53rd Ave.

             Please watch where you are standing; do not block the flow of  traffic going to the pumps.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

           TIME:  Meet at 7:20 AM (EDT)

           Ride briefing  at 7:29 AM

           Depart at 7:30 AM...sharp!

  

***The clocks change this weekend, but WE WILL NOT BE CHANGING OUR 0730 START TIME. Next week's sunrise is at 7:34, so bring a blinky, and the following Saturday's sun will rise at a very manageable 7:25.          

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  

THE PLAN:    We are continuing to explore a few new routes while we avoid the road construction on 235. This route will be about 30 minutes longer than our normal distance, so pack a Gu or a bar in your pocket. We will ride a counter-clockwise loop leaving the Chevron station and heading NORTH on 43rd. We'll hit Brooker, up to Worthington Springs down to Alachua and back home via Millhopper Rd.. I mapped it on 'Map my Ride' for those who are interested:

THE PACE:   Usual Sunrise rules. Overall Average speed = 19-21 mph, regroup at turns, no speed limit once we hit Millhopper on the way in. (Back to the Chevron by ~10:00am)

THE LOWDOWN:  By getting out earlier, the Sunrise rides offer less traffic, less wind, less precipitation and great company. There are no rest stops, thus maximizing our ride time. Get a 2-hour ride in and still get home in time to maximize your Saturday.
