GCCMail: A-Riders Weekend - North / South - bonus - 80+ % chance Saturday's weather will be fabulous!
Jayson O'Mahoney 18 Mar 2010 16:59 EDT
Saturday-NORTH: Meet at 9am, depart at 9:15am. Some of the regulars
may be out due to racing this weekend.
Sunday-SOUTH: Meet at 9am, depart at 9:15am. Ditto for the regulars.
About the A-Riders :
Helmets are required on all GCC Rides. Expect mileage to be in the 50
- 70+ mile (80 miles is 80% of a century) range with one rest stop.
Routes are determined prior to the ride depending on which way the
wind is blowing and who shows up. Routes are agreed upon by consensus
the morning of and may change en route. Speed is consistently 20+ mph
during the ride with surges exceeding 25 mph (and sometimes 30 mph).
A-Riders do respect all road safety rules, but do not respect a
specific speed limit, especially after the rest stop.
A-Riders do whatever works at intersections and use common sense. We
will often regroup at major intersections before the rest stop, but
not necessarily after the rest stop.
NORTHERN ROUTES:
MEET: At the Chevron station @ NW 43rd St and 53rd Ave (Hunters
Crossing and Millhopper Road)
PARK: In along NW 43rd St. Start at the north end and work south. If
you care about a low carbon footprint, try to ride rather than drive
to the start :)
SOUTHERN ROUTES:
MEET: At the "Kangaroo" on the NW corner of SW 34th St and Williston Road...
PARK: If you park in the Publix parking lot please park as close to
34th Street as possible. We want to keep the spots close to the stores
open for shoppers; hopefully we can keep a low profile and not become
a problem to the businesses in the plaza. Thanks for your help with
this!
