We will be taking the same route as last week, perhaps with a small change. The average pace for the ride will be between 14.6 to 15.0 mph +/- depending on the roads, wind direction, rider ability or other conditions. Naturally, the road speed will be higher (15 -17 mph.) to produce the average. The route might vary slightly from last week depending on conditions. A rest/ food stop at McDonald’s or the bagel shop is on the schedule around mile 18. There are a few places along the route where leg stretches can be done for those who wish to do so. There is no obligation for anyone to do this; you can hang back with me.
