This week we'll head northbound up Route 51 attacking the Hill from the south face. We'll start a little later at 9:30 AM, to let things warm-up a little.

Some warmup advice :)   : https://youtu.be/W6b1_TQ7RXg

Besides Area 51, we'll visit Route 24 and Mill Road. But this is a new route, so pay attention for route directions.

As usual, there will be no formal stops, just some regroups after the hard sections.

IF conditions seem too cold, we'll ride a 28 mile course that will stay out of the winds by looping around the Pine Barrens.

Allons-y!

Easy, winter pace B ride, low to mid 15s

We will now be on the SOUTH SIDE of the Ronk train station near the Western end of the parking lot closest to Railroad Ave. Bring a snack and hydration.
