C/B 55-80

Terrain: Hills, Rollers, Flats. A mix!
Speed: 16 or so on Flats
Sweep: no, but we will stop for regroups at tops of hills/key turns
Level: Intermediate
Climbing: Around 3500 feet.

Meet up at 8, starting at 8:15 sharp at the parking lot just outside Hagan Park in Rancho Cordova. Or we can pick you up en route.

There are a LOT of bailouts on this ride. One after each hill. Just turn North and head to Green Valley to head back or meet up with the rest of the group when we get there. The last hill can be skipped by just waiting until we climb up and then descend back down.

Pending how we feel, the Loomis Loop can be added. It's about a 25 mile addition with rollers. No significant climbs.

ARBT to and from the start/end points of this ride. Here's the 5 hills part, without the Loomis Loop and without the ARBT parts. http://www.mapmyride....

This would probably be good training for Foxy's coming up in a few more weeks.

Helmets required. 2 water bottles, snacks are a good idea. A few $$ for lunch would be nice.

A steady rain cancels. Sprinkles and I'm still planning to ride.

       That was a lot of fun! Even with the power robbing jacket. I'm really amazed at how much I sped up after removing it. 3mph and less effort. That's pretty substantial. Here's the ride data: http://connect.ga...

       Great ride. Definitely will keep that one in the training book for years to come.
