Given the ~105 afternoon forecast for this weekend (and not doing Hot Rocks), this Saturday Aug. 8  I'm planning to do the GDB Airport Ride route as a 40+ mile out-and-back, rolling from the southwest corner of Forest/Preston at 7AM...  as opposed to the normal club ride start of 8AM.
 
Anyone interested in joining?  I'd like to be able to roll at a minimum of 15-16 mph, or a bit faster if the group allows...  but, this is NO DROP, and we're not racing anyone.
 
Rollout at 7AM, from Forest/Preston -- we'll go out Northaven, to Rosser, to Valley View, to Luna, to Beltline over to Freeport and down, then basically reverse it.  I anticipate finishing by about 10:30.  We can do bonus miles if we're all up to it...

Just a note, that I tend to treat this route as more of a "tempo ride", as opposed to all-out effort... but with the occasional sprint zone opportunity if you want!
 
Please wear a helmet, since this is at least halfway a GDB ride...

I already paid for HotRocks --  though this sounds like more fun for sure

A few moments ago, some idiot ran into my trailer.  I had just gotten tires for it.  Anyway, I have to get another hitch for it, and repair the tongue.  Sorry, I will have to bow out of the ride tomorrow, Paul.  Thanks for putting it together.

Thanks Paul.  Always more fun to ride with others and get pushed than a solo effort.  I will keep an eye for another opportunity to get to that side of the metro mess.
