DESCRIPTION: A half-century ride which will start off with Bo Lora's century ride but at a relaxed pace. This route goes the first 27 miles on the same roads as the century riders before we separate. We'll be in eastern Williamson County on some quiet farm/ranch roads and will cross the scenic Granger Dam. Although they roads will be quiet; some are "vintage" chip seal and a little bumpy --- air up your ties accordingly! There are two optional store stops: in Circleville at 15 miles & in Granger (the Food Mart) at 35 miles. Total climbing is about 1300 ft.
AVERAGE SPEED: 14 - 16 mph. A guide only; actual pace depends on the group and to maintain this average, there will probably be some faster stretches.
TERRAIN: Flat to rolling.
RIDER LEVEL: Experienced, self-confident riders who are comfortable and very safe in a group riding situation which could include pace-line riding, hilly terrain and exposure to urban traffic.
