RBENT Gathering II -- Sat Oct 29th, 9AM
Oct 14^th, 2011, 8:29pm

2nd verse, same as the first, a little bit louder and........ maybe a lot more riders!

Let's do the same thing we're trying on the 15th, on the 29th...

7:45AM -- roll out from Preston/Forest (regular GDB Airport Ride start location), to ride 13 miles at ~16-18mph out to Bicycles Plus, arriving 8:30ish

8:30 - 9:00AM -- Gathering at Bicycles Plus, northwest corner of MacArthur and Belt Line

9:00AM -- rollout - group rides together at casual pace, ~6 miles across Belt Line to Freeport south to Airport Shell station at 114.

9:30AM -- Groups split into "turtle", "Counterclockwise", and "Clockwise" riding groups. "Turtle" group finishes ride back at Bicycles Plus. "CW" and "CCW" groups meet again at 114 Shell Station, then ride together back to Bicycles Plus

11:30AMish -- probable return time to Bicycles Plus for all groups. Lunch location is a group decision. Riders who started at Preston/Forest may not stay for lunch -- if you're in this group, you probably know the way back!

Information for routes and mileage is posted in the previous ride link:

I'm thinking about doing the Turtle Route---may be on a trike. That will be a Turtle pace.

Monkeywrangler22 Five Star Member rbent member Posts: 1308	Re: RBENT Gathering II -- Sat Oct 29th, 9AM Reply #10 - Oct 26^th, 2011, 12:41pm I guess if I go I will do the turtle route this time. If I find I am fast enough for an airport loop at 14-16mph, then next time I guess I will try the 27mi route. This all assumes that I can get everything ready and get there to BP by the appointed start time...

Should be sunny, with light wind... Note that the group leaving from Preston/Forest at 7:45 will probably not get to Bicycles Plus until about 8:45... Paul
