With no offense intended to anyone, please remove me from this email
list. I'm in central Florida and joined GCC to participate in the
Brevet series, thus 99% of the emails exchanged simply won't pertain to
me. Congratulations, however, on how active all you members are!
Keep it up. See some of you at the first Brevet next
week.
Sincerely, Allan

12:13:00 PM EST Subject: Next Sunrise
ride - Sunday January 12th - 7:30am start
Hi Everyone - I am posting this ride for
SUNDAY. Note our revised start time of 7:30am!!
Our next ride is: Sunday January 12th
7:30am start - 38 miles
Note - Anticipate an average pace of
around 18.5-19mph. I need to work back up to our usual pace. Of
course if there are those who want faster, we can leave in two
groups.
Everything you ever
wanted to know about the Sunrise ride:
When: Sunday mornings. Meet at 7:15am for a 7:30am sharp
departure
Start:
The Chevron Gas Station NW 53rd and NW
43rd
Distance: 38-48 miles
Pace: 19.5mph average
(approx). This means we usually cruise at around 20-21 on
flats. Pace is strictly capped at 22mph for at least the first 30
miles of the ride (unless we have a tailwind).
- This ride is ideal for those who are on a
time budget on Saturdays or Sundays. We keep start time, and start
location the same every Saturday and are consistently back at the Chevron
station by 9:30am (unless we stop for a mechanical issue). Because
time is of the essence on this ride we leave at 7:30am sharp. Please
by ready to ride by then.
- There are usually 10-15 riders on the ride during high
season (7-10 during low season).
- Our drop policy is: We regroup at all turns, and
especially need to group up at the stop sign at the corner of 241 and 236
(after all the hills up 241). There is no stop on the ride except to
quickly group up if necessary.
- The pace will significantly increase during the last
4-5 miles of the ride with surges near 28mph. Given this, it is wise
that all riders are self sufficient mechanically, as some (including
myself) are sometimes dropped during these last few miles.
- Please be aware that the
early morning start time for this ride means we ride at a time when low sun
angles increase the danger of being on the road. The route is
designed to mitigate this, however it is recommended that you have some
supplemental lighting on your bike for the ride.
- All the usual club safety rules apply on the
ride including helmets (yes) and headphones (no).
- This ride generally falls into the
Gliders ride category in many respects. Please check their
section of the website for detailed information about this style of
riding.
- It is
great that the owners of the Chevron allow us to use their parking
lot. Lets all remember to respect their property and be careful not
to block traffic going in and out of the station.:
- We all have a lot of fun and a lot of laughs
during this ride. Come try us out!
I am happy to answer any questions about
this ride. Drop me an email anytime!
Jonathan Jones (ride
coordinator).
