THE
PLAN: We'll be doing a few more miles this week in preparation for
the upcoming "Ride to Remember". The route will take us out Millhopper
Rd., west on 78th to 337. We'll go through High Springs, hit Chestnut
hill and head for home via Millhopper again. This will be about 30
minutes longer than our standard ride, so bring enough fluids/food.
The forcast predicts that the temperature won't hit the 80's before we
arrive home. 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 Chestnut Hill on the
way in. (Back to the Chevron by ~9:30am)
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.
