All Levels - Bullis County Park Saturday Ride

Hello all, it is time for our first meetup in a while. We plan to meet for a road ride on Saturday September 4th at 7am to beat the heat. This is labor day weekend so you can knock out your rode ride and get out and meet the group before the weekend officially begins. We will offer distances of 15, 30 and 45 miles from this location. The scenery for this ride is great with lots of country rodes and some farmland. I've ridden this route before and never encountered a single car. I will post a map of the route and stops very soon but a preliminary map is here. This will be a no-drop ride which means at various points everyone will stop and wait. Since this is our first ride we are going to make it a social ride which means about 16mph or less. We will have folks there who will be riding a little slower and little faster but we will stay together. Usually for these rides those who ride faster can do intervals where they push themselves and then let their foot off the gas until the rest of the group catches up. Be sure to arrive around 6:40 to make sure that your bike is aired-up and you are ready to go. We will conduct an informal clinic on peleton/group signalling, shifting for hills and quick maintenance tips for your bike before the ride. Plan to be wheels down between 7 and 7:05 am. The ride should last no more than 1hr and 15 minutes for those going 15 miles. There is a 22 mile loop that will definitely keep everyone together and can be done in 1 hr and 30 minutes so you can still be done before 8:30 and ready to start your long weekend on the right foot. Come out and join us. We look forward to seeing you. This is the first of many meetups that we are basing on your feedback. The next meetup will be at the 1604/I10 interchange. My name is Robert. I will either be in a silver Nissan Xterra if I drive there or in a black time trial Kuota bike if I ride there. I hope to see as many as possible make it out.
