EBCC

We'll continue chasing daylight to maximize ride distance each week, I added a mile and some extra climb. but overall a very similar ride profile to last week. We are going climb RT-20, Pederson & Legeyt and then enjoy the glorious descent down Mountain Road. Looking at 32mi route with 2400ft of climb. Weather looks to be great, a little on the cooler side at low 60's but that will make the climbs all more enjoyable.

This is a "B" ride (generally averaging 15-18 mph) - Route varies weekly, exploring areas west, north, and east of Simsbury. Rides generally alternate between hilly & flat. Regroups always occur at key points, certainly at the tops of climbs. This Ride's is considered "Progressive" where each week the speed and climb increase as riders improve and we chase the sunset for maximum ride time during daylight.
