Tuesday Night Ride - 9/23 Simsbury
First night ride of the season. We'll do the traditional kick-off ride down into Tunxis Meade in Farmington; figure a little over 2 hours ride time.
Possible Route - until we change it
6:30 pm from the commuter lot at Iron Horse Blvd & Wilcox Street (Note new start time)
Cyclocross or mountain bikes
Head lights and tail lights required.
Winter pace strictly enforced.
Food/drinks afterward.
Boisterous gaiety and abundant merriment are mandatory. Those not having a good time will be asked to leave.
Unable to make this week, have a good one, and please; no scorpion-style face plants.
That's not a yoga pose? Phew I was getting nervous we'd being doing yoga on the trails.
> What is winter pace, anyway?
Going slow enough to be able to stop and pull people out of the river.
> Unable to make this week, have a good one, and please; no scorpion-style face plants.
No scorpion-style face plants, but there was an attempt at turning the ride into an aqua-bike event by a certain rider... Rider and bike were successfully retrieved from the river. No ropes needed, but may have been useful if available.
Here's a hint. One could say the rider "modified" the ride to include the swim segment.

Was there a shrinkage issue?
