The weather looks GREAT! This Saturday's, 4/25/09, century ride starts at 7:00 am. We will be leaving out of the Sunshine Mall. The pace is listed as a B+/A ride; we will often be riding at about 20 mph and should average about 17 mph. The ride will be 103 miles; we should be back between 2 and 3 o'clock PM. There is one planed rest stop; all other stops will be made as needed. The ride is mostly flat. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. The ride is structured so the group will stay together.

Suggestions:
1) Eat a good breakfast.
2) Come well rested.
3) Bring snacks and drink. We will stop as needed but on a long ride it is imperative that you continually snack and drink. If you don’t eat and drink often you will really feel it towards the later part of the ride.
4) Get your gear ready the night before.
5) Check your bike to make sure that it is in good repair.
6) Have someone on standby to call and come get you if you have to withdraw from the ride.
7) Ride starts at 7:00am. Arrive early enough to get yourself prepared.
8) Wear Sunscreen

I’ll see you in the morning.
