RIDE NAME AND DISTANCE: Rosedale Recovery Ride (RRR). 12-20 miles.
DATE/TIME: Thursday 14th February. 9:15 a.m.
RIDE LEADER/CONTACT: William Hudson; 210-387-7340; WilliamPedalsOn@gmail.com
DESCRIPTION: These are pretty informal, no-drop, social rides. They start and finish in Rosedale.
AVERAGE SPEED: 12 - 14 mph. A guide only; actual pace depends on the group and to maintain this average, there will be some faster stretches.
TERRAIN: Usually flatish. Some minor “walnuts”. A couple of routes do have short, sharp climbs but we will regroup at the tops. Walking up the steepest stretches is not a crime.
RIDER LEVEL: Intermediate, self-confident riders who are comfortable and safe in a group riding situation which could include exposure to some urban traffic. More advanced riders also very welcome but this will not be a cardio training ride.
