To Please note
that I
am out of town this week and I am posting the ride as a reminder to those
who
participate. The route is the same, so there should be no problem with the
group doing the ride in my absence. I’ll be back next week.
The Team VetMed Wednesday ride
will start at 5:30pm. Please
plan
to be there in time to start the ride at that time. We’ll be doing
our
usual 28.5 mile route going out to the GHT, then to Angle Rd, then to
Micanopy
for a rest stop at the Pearl Store and up 441 across Payne’s Prairie
to
Williston Rd, west to SW 23 Terr., north to Old Archer Rd, east to where it
joins Archer Rd at the turn off to SW 16 Ave and back to the VAB. We should
be
returning around 7:15-7:30. If you have lights for your bike it is a good
idea
to bring them, especially having some bikes with a blinky on the back is a
good
idea; although it is staying light later now which is great. If there are
any
weather problems on Wednesday prior to ride time and a cancellation is in
order, I’ll send out an e-mail at that time.
A word about pace and dropping
riders. Our typical riding pace is about 17-18 MPH. There are times like
the
last mile before the rest stop at the Pearl Store and again right before
the
end of the ride where there is a sprint for those who care to participate
in
it. Otherwise, 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 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 and a good work out; so let’s all try to do
that.
As it is staying light later
we
will start alternating and doing the Mike
