Just curious what is the pace of these rides?

[cindysue]

the pace is between 12-16mph

We will split up by speed into 2-3 groups depending on how many women show up. (e.g., ~12mph, 15mph)

I would not recommend this ride to anyone who hasn't done a 35-40 mile ride in the last two weeks....

Sakie kate and Jobob helped out last year and were wonderful leaders to our 50+ women riders. Thanks again! Someone else may have also helped out but I can't remember....

p.s. it will be COLD. Please dress accordingly
