THE PACE: Usual Sunrise rules. Average 18-20 mph, regroup at turns, no speed limit once we hit 441 on the way in.
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.
We had our most impressive turnout last week with almost 30 riders in attendance. With high winds projected for Saturday, another large turn out would prove beneficial to those not interested in fighting the wind. Hopefully we'll miss the really bad stuff by getting out early.
**We'll move our start time down to 7:30am NEXT WEEK. That's how we roll...early.**

weather Saturday morning.
