This is number 3 of the Seagull Century training rides. You don’t have to be doing the century to go on any of these rides. However, if you would like to know more about this century click on this link -  (link is external)http://seagullcentury.org/ (link is external) (link is external) For some riders who did the century last year click on this link -  (link is external)http://seagullcentury.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/SGC_Brochure_Final_17.pdf (link is external) (link is external) - to see if you are in the 2017 Seagull Century registration brochure group photo.

Now, let’s talk about the training rides. Each week the ride will increase by 5 miles; give or take. This way you won’t feel so bad when you eat that extra donut. By the time all the training rides are completed I’m sure you’ll be able to do an easy 100 miles on a flat scenic course. Since these training rides are a shared effort I would hope that riders would come forward and help in the pulling. During the weeks I am unable to ride Chris Musso will be taking my place and leading the rides.

This week I thought we would change it up a bit and go to Manorville. The route will take us northeast, then south, and finally southwest working our way back to the start. There will be one or two spots for some break-a-ways for those who wish to do so.

The average pace for the ride will be between 14.5 and 15.0 mph, depending on the roads and wind direction, the ride could come in a tad faster, meaning in the lower “B” range. The final mileage will be +/- a mile

Only one food stop this time, around mile 28 at McDonalds or the bagel shop
