VetMed
Ride to
Resume
Wednesday, March 14th
With
daylight savings time approaching it is time to prepare for resuming the
Team VetMed Wednesday evening rides which will roll out at 5:30 pm
starting March 14th, the first Wednesday after daylight savings
time returns.
New
for this year is a rotation of rides, each one starting in a different
location. Unlike most GCC rides where the exact location of the start
and the route will vary weekly and be announced weekly; here there will be
four (possibly expanding on that later in the season) starting locations,
each one with a regular ride route. So, the weekly reminder posted will
announce the starting location for
that week, but the route from there will be constant (or at least until
changed, which might happen later in the season…in other words,
everything is the same until its changed!) and the ride time will be the
same; 5:15 pm we’ll meet and roll out at 5:30
pm.
While
we are not going to be giving up the vet school start completely
we’ll vary it to avoid the congestion of getting to and from the vet
school
at that time of day and since most of us that do the ride are coming to
the vet school for the ride and we all have to deal with the Archer Rd
traffic at the end of the ride. Also, this will add some variety to the
weekly ride.
