Jorge posted ahead of me, but I can't make a Sunday ride this
weekend, so I am posting the 'official' Sunrise ride for Saturday
this weekend also.  Of course, if anyone wants to post for Sunday
- please step up!!

Our next ride is:  Saturday March 21st, 8am start.  We can
determine distance and route at the start, but count on 45 miles,
give or take a few.

*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 until the last few 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.  Because time is of the essence on this ride we
leave
      right at the posted start time.  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.  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).
