THE PLAN:    <http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/36095088> Sunrise EXTENDED Loop, 51 miles.
                         Millhopper > 241 > 18 > 121 > 239 > 235 > 237 > Hague > 441 > 43rd

THE PACE:  Usual Sunrise rules. Overall Average speed = 19-21 mph, regroup at turns, no speed limit once we hit 441 on the way in. (Back to the Chevron by ~9:30am)

THE LOWDOWN: By getting out earlier, the Sunrise rides offer less traffic, less wind, less precipitation, more comfortable temperatures and great company. There are no rest stops, thus maximizing our ride time. Get a 2-2.5 hour ride in and get home in time to do all the things that need to be crammed into your weekend.

**NOTE THE 0700 START TIME!!!**

The Sunrise list was polled this week and have decided to move our departure time up 30 minutes to 7:00 a.m. Actual Sunrise is at 6:29 a.m. and "Civil Dawn" comes ~15 minutes before that, so there is ample time for those of you wishing to ride to the Chevron start. We'll also be tacking a few extra miles onto our normal route and still making it back by 9:30ish. Hope to see everyone out at 7:00 on Saturday morning.
