THE PLAN:    <http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/42401682> Western
route, 47 miles.
                   We've scheduled a joint ride with our friends from
the "Haile Ride". We will be breaking from the norm and heading south on
43rd St. to 39th Ave where we will travel west to 241, meeting up with
our Southern ride partners near the intersection of 98th and 39th
(~7:20ish). We will all ride together until returning to 241 where we
will once again split at Millhopper Rd. There will be no store stops so
be sure to pack enough fluid/food for a 2.5'ish hour ride.

THE PACE:  Usual Sunrise rules. Overall Average speed = 19-21 mph,
regroup at turns, no speed limit once we hit Millhopper 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+ 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!!!**
