THE
PLAN: We'll be doing our standard Sunrise ride! The resurfacing on
235 is pretty much complete (with the exception of a short section in
front of the Krishna Farm). 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 441 on the way in.
(Back to the Chevron by ~9:00am)
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 take advantage of your Saturday.
