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.
I am sorry to say that I will not be at this final Tuesday ride (September 13th) as I will be cheering on our Canton High School soccer team at their season opener at CHS! I have enjoyed riding with you all this spring and summer! Thanks to the challenges, and great rides! I will see you at other rides! Come to one of the Sunday 8:30AM rides from Benidorm Bikes...and if there is not soccer, I will see you! Otherwise, stay in touch and see you on the roads, dirt roads, cyclocross courses, mountain bike trails or even the bike path! Have a safe ride! Jan
Thanks again to all the ride leaders !!! You provided lots of great routes and kept us (somewhat) organized and safe. You guys rock.
