TNR is starting at Cooper’s and heading across the bridge.
The parking lot at Cooper’s is difficult to use, but they have an agreement with a neighboring church to use their parking lot. We’ll be assembling at Grace Baptist Church, just down the hill on 26th. Please park on the street and not in the church parking lot.
We’ll switch around our format a little with an out and back part of the route. We’ll stick together and ride to War Memorial Park (2 miles into the ride), at which point, we’ll cut things loose and everyone will be free to ride the Cushman Trail at whatever pace they want, with a predetermined time to return to the park. After regrouping, we’ll ride to Coopers to enjoy food and drinks, where we can can use their porch space and keep an eye on our bikes. The restaurant has requested that people not park in their parking lot if they’re not going to be staying afterwards and ordering food or beverages.
There will be separate groups but all will ride the same route. The only difference will be how far each rider goes before they turn around.
For the Short group, expect speeds around 14-15mph on the flats, slower on the climbs, faster on the downhills. The Long group will be a couple mph faster. Please equip your bike with lights so that cars can see you as the sun get low.
The ride is scheduled to start at 6:00. There’ll be a quick ride brief and introductions. We will depart no sooner than 6:05, but if you arrive at 6:06, there may or may not be anyone there.
The route is posted in the event comments / discussion.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comments or message the group.
