This week’s ride info:

Day: Saturday, April 2nd  

Time: 9:00am meeting, 9:15 departure

Meeting Place: Parking lot in front of Springhill Commons (Publix) at 9200 NW 39th Ave

Route and Mileage: 39th to 241, to 94th to that little road east of 27/41, to Peggy Rd into Alachua for a stop, then out 235 to Lacrosse and down 121 to 39th and back to beginning. Total mileage is 44.09 according to MapMyRide.com. Trying to do something a little different from starting at the Chevron and going out Millhopper Rd and then down 237 to Hague on the way back.

Pace: The HighBees ride pace is about 17-18 MPH. This is a friendly, no drop ride; we re-group at all turns when needed.

A word about pace and dropping riders. Our typical riding pace is about 17-18 MPH. Let’s please try to maintain the integrity of the group during the ride. If you see that you are getting dropped, please speak up and say something before you are dropped off the back end where no one can hear you. Complaining about it later does no good. If you are riding near the back of the ride and see someone being dropped please pass it forward. With a good size group it is hard for the leader or others near the front of the line to see what is happening in the back sometimes. If someone lets you know they are being dropped, please pass it up. In such event we’ll stop if necessary, but hopefully be able to soft pedal for a bit allowing the dropped rider to get back on. The main object of the ride is to have fun; so let’s all try to do that.

Any problems feel free to call my cell, 665-6100.

If you are new to GCC and are looking for a weekly ride with a moderate pace and moderate distance, please feel free to join us.

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.

Thanks,

Mike Steinberg
