5:00 p.m. meet, 5:15 p.m. leave, for a ride that may last until dark--25-30 miles (leave time will change during winter). Pace will reach 19-21 mph average speed. THIS IS A NO DROP RIDE ONLY FOR PUNCTURES/FLATS, MECHANICAL FAILURES AND TRAFFIC LIGHTS, but we will NOT be waiting for riders who cannot maintain the ride pace. This is a performance-oriented fitness/training ride that may include rotating pace-lines, team time trials, intervals, and sprint lead-outs--after which we will regroup at the pre-ride briefing's pre-determined points for a steady ride. Junior (under age 17) riders are encouraged if they will have a guardian that is familiar with the route and can help bring them back to the bike shop to check in before heading home, should they be unable to maintain the pace. Parents of juniors should speak with the Ride Captain to indicate who will be their guardian on the ride. Drop-bar road bikes only except by Captain’s approval.

Route Description: We will head west on Newberry Road directly into Newberry. When we reach the Newberry bypass, we will follow that for about 1 mile until we reach SR 27/41 North where we will turn North (right) and follow the road up to the blinking light intersection at CR232/NW 78th Ave where we will turn east (right). We will follow across CR235 S and all the way to CR241 South we will turn south) which leads into Jonesville. We will turn East (left) on NW 2nd Lane (from this point on cooling down) behind the Jonesville Publix and follow the normal developers route back to Bike Works of Jonesville.

By showing up to the ride, you agree to abide by all of the rules concerning pace, regrouping, and “no drop.” If you need to ride in ahead of a flat or pull off for some reason, let the Ride Captain know. All riders are strongly encouraged to have a rear red blinky light and a front headlamp as this ride may be ending near dusk/dark. And of course, ALL are required to wear a helmet at all times.
