184 or 361 ft

12 and friendly. Note: this is the maximum speed on the flats, no wind. Need a faster pace? You're welcome to ride ahead if you print a cue. Otherwise, this is a NO DROP ride at 12mph.
Ride Type:
These people have that LAYERED look. Try your layered look on this ride and then you'll know what gear keeps you warm enough for the Xmas Lights ride November 27th.
Description:
It's cold and time to re-think riding gear. Let's try our winter gear on a short ride at a friendly 12mph maximum on the flats pace. Think layers. You're probably NOT going to dress like me, but here's what I need starting at the top: helmet cover, hat, buff, windbreaker jacket, under layer, vest, armies, mittens over thin gloves, hand warmers, winter bike tights (have thin fleece inside), wool socks, warm bike shoes, toe warmers.
