MAY 1ST - UPDATES

Welcome new cyclists training for the 50 & 62 mile distances! 
Your first ride will be a 20-mile ride through the NLR River Trail system to include a Group & Traffic Safety course led by League Certified Instructor Tom Ezell!  We'll start at the River Trail Rentals at 8:00 a.m.

NEW START TIME FOR CENTURY TRAINERS!
With the longer distances and the sun shining earlier, we're moving the start time earlier so you have more daylight left on your Saturday.  New Start Time - 7:00 a.m.!  So, pre-ride meeting will be at 6:50 a.m.


And, since the rain spoiled our fun for the April 24th ride, we are changing the routes and planned distances.  Note the new route for the May 1st ride - for those training for the 100 miles.
