might work in a rotation at tempo. Average speed from

mph. Average speed from the Shell station around the airport to the control
tower and around will be above 21 mph. Please feel free to
join this ride at the start or at the Shell station... Rest

anyone who gets dropped. Please introduce yourself if you
are new to this ride.

This ride is for those who cannot comfortably make a 6:00pm start at REI. We will start from Forest at Central promptly at 7:00pm. Lights are required. This will be a snappy 22 mile trail ride with minimum red lights, stop signs etc. It is a great alternative to keep your legs and lungs conditioned through the winter.
The 7:00pm start permits a solid alternative to those who cannot get off work early on Tuesdays. The 7:00pm start also ensures the trails will clear out some as they can be crowded and dangerous when the weather is still warm.
Pace: 14-18 mph flats, Avg. 13-15 (groups split)
Hills: Gentle (Optional Loving area hills: Hard)
Breaks: 1, at 7-11
Drops: Possible, but regroup points
Leader: Group ride, no specific leader
