Saturday July 12, Something Really Special!

[barton bourassa]

The plan: Coffee at Disco on Menzies near Michigan. Depart at 7 AM

The ride: http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/fullscreen/468155130/

Just a nice little warm up before the Big Loop on the 20th. There will be places to peel off early if and places to refuel. As usual, pay close attention to your fuel, nutrition, hydration. I would like to keep the pace rolling, not racing but moving along, so please don’t plan to eat at the top of hills. If you get to the top of hills before others, come back down. If you are the last one up the hill, just keep right on rolling and eat or drink as we hit the flat parts. There will be flat parts!
