THE PLAN: We'll be doing our standard 39-mile Sunrise ride, BACKWARDS!!!! Heading out of the Chevron North on 43rd and returning via Millhopper Rd. I mapped the route on "Map My Ride" (the link is for the route in a clockwise direction...we'll be doing it counter-clockwise this week):

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 ~9:00am)


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.
