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.
Beautiful late afternoon ride! Even though we start earlier, I would recommend a blinking tail light and even a front light if you have one. We never know when we are challenged with flats or any other 'road side assistance' considerations.
See you later! Jan
