Lorraine's Birthday Ride 70 or 45/All Levels /2
Hey! It's my birthday so I'm riding my age. I'm older and slower so if you want to go fast and you know the route, feel free. Just
meet me at the finish for a cold drink in the parking lot and some yummy Mexican Food at Cafe Salsa after the ride.
A shorter route(45 miles) is posted in the Route Maps link. Timing is up to you if you do the short route. There is no "leader" for the short ride. Be sure to download the route to your head unit or phone and/or print and carry a route sheet.
