Details:

We will meet in the front corner of the Kroger's parking lot nearest the gas station.

 

On the C and B/C ride, the ride leader will sweep the ride and regroup as necessary. The A, A/B, and B paces will typically involve pace lines and ride leaders will try to keep the group together but will not sweep.

 

The ride will have sections that go through subdivisions, on the shoulder of Harrodsburg Road, on 2 lane country roads, and on a bike trail. We will be on the shoulder of Harrodsburg Road for part of the ride. This shoulder is as wide as normal lane.

 

It is April so we be gaining daylight. Rain, snow, high winds, or cold temperatures could cancel, watch for ride changes on the website and on Facebook.

 

Make sure you have a helmet, water bottles (with water), spare tubes (that fit your tire and stems that fit your rims, not going to say any names), and a pump or CO2.

 

Arrive early. Pre-ride announcements at 5:50pm. Wheels roll at 6:00pm.

 

Sunset for the month of April is between 8:00pm and 8:27pm. Head lights and blinkies are strongly recommended.
