Lower River Run

Seems like it's been quite awhile since we've had an organized club ride out to the end of Lower River Road. So let's go do it!   It's a 30 mi. round trip route, most of it on flat and smooth pavement.  The toughest hill going out, is the railroad over pass at the west edge of town. Choice of climbs on the return portion are on McLaughlin or on Blandford.  Some riders will want to go FAST; some will want go a little SLOWER to enjoy the rural farming scenes. Either pace is OK; it's your ride to enjoy!  We will re-group at the end of the road turn-around to insure we didn't lose anyone, though it hardly seems that anyone could get lost.  Stay for coffee and socialize a bit after the ride.

See you Saturday morning, for a 9:30 AM departure, from the River Maiden.
Start Time: June 30, 2012 @ 9:30 am
