Easy Riders April - August 2010 Ride Schedule

General Ride Information

It is wise to let the ride leader know if you are coming. People who have RSVP’d will be notified if a ride is cancelled for whatever reason. If no one has RSVP'd, ride leader may change plans for the day.

Rides are 10-12 miles/hour with water breaks every 5 miles. Rides leave promptly so arrive early if you wish to stretch, visit, pump up tires, etc.
