Title: Tuesday Mesquite rides starting March 11
Post by FlyingLaZBoy on Mar 5^th, 2014, 12:46pm

Once again, I'll be leading a GDB-and-others group out of Poteet HS in Mesquite on Tuesday nights, rolling at 6PM... This is basically a "non-hammer" group that will operate in a no-drop mode, and will ride at the pace that the group can hang together at -- typically 16-17mph rolling pace, but if slower is needed, we can split accordingly. There is also a "hammer" group that rides at 5:30, if you're feeling energetic. But on my ride, you won't be left out there for the coyotes...

The Mesquite route definitely has some hills involved, but nothing too stupid, and we'll regroup as needed. This next Tuesday, we'll probably only do 20-ish miles, because we'll have about 90 minutes of daylight -- so no lights required, but blinkies recommended.

Here is the probable route we'll do, for 22 miles.

If you want to join in on a different kind of Tuesday ride that will challenge you, c'mon out! Poteet HS in on Galloway, just south of Town East Blvd. -- we park in the west parking lot, on Galloway.

Missed this one, can't make it on the 18th, but keep posting reminders!! I really want to make it to some of these this year before it gets blazing hot. :)

We had four riders, and got in 26 miles with just enough light...

Next Tuesday looks nice, temps in the 70s! I've got a conflict, but Rothgeb will probably lead the ride in my place.
