We will leave the Peddler at 8:15 and ride to Mozart's to meet up with Stanton's Sunday recovery and social ride at 9. We will ride with Stanton's group for an hour or an hour and ... morea half, at least until we arrive in the Shoal Creek and 45th street area. From there, we will either return to the Peddler or ride a few more miles. The exact route has not been determined, but I expect that at least half of the route will be on city streets. There will be a coffee stop along the way or at the end. Tis the season to be flexible.
Average speed will likely be in the 13's or 14's, but there may be some sustained intervals of 15-20. This is a no drop ride, and we will regroup at corners and hills as necessary.
