NOT A NO DROP RIDE.  Not a beginner's ride.

Other Pace riders welcome but should be prepared to provide their own navigation.  If you ride way slower or faster than the main group you will be separated and will likely be riding on your own.  Try to find a small pod who knows the way and stick together.  Please review the route well in advance of the ride.  Download it to your bike computer or print out a cue sheet.
