Description:
We'll do parts of the original RACC 18 miler, but change it a lot. Nothing too fancy or tough. Social ride to get started again on our bikes for those of us who need to punch that re-start button. I like to wear 2 - 3 layers when it's cold along with toe warmers and hand warmers. I'm hoping we have enough little climbs interspersed to keep us thawed! I will bring cue sheets. OR - we'll visit Clay and come straight back or explore a couple of meandering options.
Registration:
Registration is not required. You don't have to be a member to try us out but we'd ask that you join if you're riding with us consistently.

Helmets are required. Lights (front and rear), Road IDs, cell phones, tool kit, mirrors, and pump are recommended. Check your bike before you come to make sure it's in good working order.
There is no set route, so we do not offer a map. Riders should be able to maintain the stated pace, but this is a "No rider left behind group."Please communicate with your leader if you decide to go off route.
Remember - we want to be awesome representatives of the cycling community in Clark County and spread a love and respect for our great sport by obeying all traffic laws and riding in a safe and courteous manner. Ride safely and have fun!
