This is a "B" ride (generally averaging 15-18 mph) - Route varies weekly, exploring areas west, north, and east of Simsbury. Rides are generally hilly given our part of the state. Regroups always occur at key points, certainly at the tops of climbs. This Ride's is considered "Progressive" where each week the distance, speed and climb increase as riders improve and we chase the sunset for maximum ride time.
Hi Christian. I'm planning to ride and can lead.
I will be there as well. If you don't have something planned...I could explain taking people to Granville, up Water Street from 189, back on 179 to route 309.
I'll let you guys decide, I just posted the route above, it's 26mi 2000ft climb. the water street loop is usually 33+mi w/ 2500ft climb so that might put us too far into the dark with sunset at 7:49 tonight. but you can make the call. we are ready to drop soon to 5:30 starts since daylight is falling fast.
