Details:

It's going to rain.  I'm sick of waiting, so I'm riding.
50 degrees at 10am, wind isn't bad. 
Buy some rain gear -it's on sale-
and let's test it out together.
        
This is the old Cobweb Sweeper, meant to help you get started again if you've been on the couch.  It is a short route with a few evenly spaced hills, but skip them if you're feeling hill-phobic.

Hill-skipper Tips:
OPT #1: Mile 9, stay straight up to McGillivrary when I turn left.  Result? Coffee in 15 miles, no hills.
OPT #2: Mile 11.5, continue straight on McGillivary.  You will climb Bella Vista with me, but skip the following little molehills.  Coffee in 17 miles and 1 hill. 

OR
OPTION #3:  Just do the damn ride and quit whining.  Total bragging rights are yours AND you can buy me coffee for encouraging you to buck up!

Please print/download your own cue sheet and feel free to make this ride your ride:  go nuts.
