RIDES WITH RITA: This is the latest in a series of rides geared specifically toward fast-end CC riders who enjoy riding long distances in a group but are tired of being dropped. We're not riding in a paceline. But it's my hope that participants are committed to staying together (more or less), maybe even regrouping after long stretches, and ending with an average of about 13 mph. My motto is: "It's supposed to be fun."

THESE RIDES ARE INTENDED TO ADDRESS A VERY SPECIFIC RIDER NICHE. I am attempting to resuscitate the once-vibrant CC class that has become extinct in recent years. If you like to ride faster or slower than the promised pace, this may not be the ride for you. (Caveat: While I try to foster an esprit de corps, we will not wait repeatedly for the slowest rider.)

ABOUT TODAY'S ROUTE: This is one of my very favorite rides. It's MODERATELY HILLY. Horses. Farms. The Beach. What's not to like? We'll go to the Western Shore of the Chesapeake Bay and take a nice break at Mile 26 at the Chesapeake Deli. We'll stop again briefly in North Beach.

If you are new to the club or aren't sure if this ride is right for you, feel free to contact me via email with questions before the ride. (rzeidner@gmail.com)

If you decide to join this ride, PLEASE SEND ME YOUR CELL PHONE NUMBER AND EMAIL ADDRESS in case I need to make a last minute change or cancel unexpectedly. ALSO SEND NAME AND PHONE OF EMERGENCY CONTACT - rzeidner@gmail.com

PARKING: No water or restroom at ride start. Try the gas station as soon as you get off Rt. 4. The commuter lot is on Southern Maryland Blvd. on the right, about 1/10th of a mile past Duncan's Donuts. DON'T MISTAKENLY PARK AT DUNCAN'S.
