Mary’s Ride will start at 10:00 AM. The start location is the same, and after the ride you can enjoy a hot drink of your choice to warm you at Starbucks. This time of year, we often experience very cold temperatures, causing dangerous riding conditions and causing cancellation of some rides. To mitigate the effects of the cold weather, Mary’s Ride is starting later in the day, when the temperature is likely to be warmer and riding conditions safer. We’ll likely revert back to the old start times in a few months when the weather is warmer. Enjoy a Friday with Mary and Gang! The ride will be 20 miles at a pace of 14. Moderate Hills (4 steep but short hills). At least 3 busy road crossings that require patience but we get out to the rural areas to smell the pigs :) There's no better way to start a weekend! The ride is on the schedule through November. After that...it will be a "How is the weather?" decision. MAP/CUE LINK
