ABC Saturday Longer/Faster Ride

ABC Riders,

 

Last week we rode the ABC Virtual Ride.  We had a great turnout by the ABC Saturday ride crew as well as other club and area riders in honor of our annual Absolutely Beautiful Country ride!

 

This week we are starting in Chagrin Falls and heading north to Willoughby and Lake Erie.  We are again offering 47 mile and 65 mile options.

Possible Hydration Stops

Willoughby,@ 20 miles or 37 miles, depending on the route

 

Temperatures are rising quickly in the mornings, reaching 80F usually by 10AM.  Bring ample hydration at the start of the ride.


There are many changes to our approach to our club rides due to the pandemic.  Please read the attached MSWord document and be prepared to abide by and support these new rules.  The health and safety of our riders is our primary objective.


A few callouts:

 

  • We will not be passing out or sharing materials during the ride.  This includes cue sheets.  Please bring to the ride some means of following the route, either your bike computer or a printout of the cue sheet.  Cue sheets are attached here.
  • And we will not be stopping as a group at any time for an organized, sit down food stop.  This is another CoViD thing.  To be safe, bring any hydration / nutrition you anticipate needing.  If needed, we can stop at a convenience store or gas station to get additional supplies.

 

See you Saturday,

Joe & Randy
