STP Training Ride #12

Description

Please arrive 15 minutes early to allow for sign-up/check-in. Cue sheets will be available on the RwGPS map (link below). You must sign up on line.

Choice of two rides. I intend to lead a group ride from the Home Depot Parking Lot on NW Science Park Dr. (behind Taco Bell) to Vernonia and back. Round trip for this ride will be just about 82 miles at a pace of 12-13 mph. Once we hit the hill, about 5 miles after the Banks Trailhead, the pace will drop to 8-10 mph. Faster riders should feel free to set their own pace.

If you don’t want to do 82 miles (or just can’t keep up with the old man) we should reach the Banks Trailhead of the B-V-T about 9:45 , you can certainly start there, but be sure to check in with the ride leader, even if you signed up on line. Plan to leave Banks at 10:30 for lunch at the Black Iron Grill in Vernonia.
