Cinderella training ride 2/25 from Benicia

[cindysue]

yep, a 2 is a good rating for that ride - "a challenge for beginners" - I'd only rate it that based on the miles. The rollers are fairly early in the ride and not too steep.

as for pace, we break up into groups of about 15 people based on pace. The slowest group tends to average around 10mph and the fastest group averages about 16mph, give or take.

Rats! I can't come on the ride this weekend - I'm looking at 3 weekends of "sorting, packing, hauling, dumping, carrying, unpacking, repeat 'til done or dead!" Friends are helping me out, so I'm working around their schedules, which is weekends. Hmmm. Once I'm moved into my new place and settled in I'll be back out with you guys, but I'll have some serious catching up to do... I'll miss seeing all of you this weekend - have a great time, and I look forward to reading the report (and seeing photos???)

Crud, I was really hoping to see you. Snap, did you decide? The course looks pretty tame; just distance (aka butt) training.

Maybe I'll come early and wave you all off!

Snap- don't let the little rollers worry you. After you pass the "Fairfield City Limits sign" about a mile after Marshview, it's all FLAT and I mean FLAT!!!!!!

We set up the course so when you come home, you take the flattest route! Last hill (Park) has a halfway spot where you can rest a minute before going on.

BikerZ- yes do come and wish everyone off! It will be a gorgeous day. You can stop by the 1st Street Cafe and get a scone (my most fav- and I'm a scone freak)before you head on home to finish packing. At least packing is exercise!

Oh yeah- you could be the staff photographer! I'll have the camera ready! It's called point and shoot (no pun here, really)

Hey Nancy,
I have logged on the form, however, not sure how to post to everyone yet. I will hopefully figure it out in the next day or so. How exciting! How do you like my log on name??

Hello,
I am a new member who met Bike Goddess a couple of weeks ago. She told me about your group and I am very excited to meet other women who love to ride. I am looking forward to meeting you all and getting some miles in. Anyone riding the Jelly Belly this Saturday?
