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.

           Ride briefing  at 7:29 AM

           Depart at 7:30 AM...sharp!   

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  

THE PLAN:    We're going to head out of the Chevron and go south on 43rd to 39th and then west all the way out to 241. We'll be heading south to Archer and then we'll make our way back towards home and finish on Millhopper. There is rain in the forecast, but we're confident that our early departure will allow us to avoid the precipitation. I mapped the route on "Map My Ride":

THE PACE:   Usual Sunrise rules. Overall Average speed = 19-21 mph, regroup at most turns, no speed limit once we hit Millhopper on the way in. (Back to the Chevron by ~9:45am)

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.
