Sunday, May 3: Level 3 & 4 ride: “Harwood, Butter Tart, Return” (55k)

Get those bikes out! The forecast is nothing but sunshine for Sunday. This ride takes some familiar roads up toward Harwood where we’ll take a break to reload water bottles from the Harwood Artesian Well, pause a little for a snack at the store (maybe even some butter tarts if they still have them, then enjoy a nice gentle ride back. We will ride in two groups, Level 3 and Level 4 but we won’t go crazy with speed. Some are just getting on their bikes for the first time this season!

Level 3 and Level 4 expectations: All riders are expected to have a route map. If you ride with Level 3 however, it is a Group Ride. Be prepared to ride at a pace that the whole group could maintain, and ride without a ride leader. Level 4 is expected to depart as a group and may possibly stay together, but also may break off naturally into smaller groups according to ability. The pace will be faster than Level 3, and again with no ride leader.

Start time: 10:00am
Start location: The arena on Furnace St.
Route Map: Printable 55k map/cue sheet or link to it on Ride with GPS
Ride Coordinator: Anita Macklin
Level of difficulty: Levels 3 and 4

So how ’bout it? Leave us a comment, tell us you are riding. Let’s us do some pre-planning!

  1. I will likely ride on Sunday. FYI, the Harwood store has a new owner, but the butter tarts are still good 🙂
