This week’s ride info:

Day: Saturday, January 28^th

Time: 9:30 am meeting, 9:45 am departure (It is supposed to get colder Friday night after the rains expected during the day on Friday. The overnight low is going to be 48 degrees.)

Meeting Place: Little grocery store on SR 21 just north of SR 26

Route and Mileage: http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/fullscreen/65878382/. This ride will be on roads we have NEVER done before. I looked at them all on Google Maps using the aerial feature and they all look good from that perspective; so this ride will be an adventure in uncharted territory. The main ride is 35 miles and when we get back to Melrose, there will be an optional additional loop that will make it 47 for those who wish to do it. The main route will take us up towards Keystone Heights, out around Gold Head Branch Stat Park and back to Melrose in a big loop. This map includes the optional loop.

Pace: The HighBees ride pace is about 18 MPH. This is a friendly, no drop ride; we re-group at all turns when needed.

Membership Requirements: Please note that HighBee rides are open to all GCC members who wish to participate. Those that are non-members may ride with the group as a guest of a sponsoring member once without being required to be a member.
