We will ride at a pace of about 10mi/hour for just under 2 hours. This will be a scenic and social ride on paved rail trails with a few road crossings. The goal of this ride is to experience a new extension of the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail and to make new friends! We will not be aiming for speed but will go the distance by riding at a casual pace for about 18 miles. This ride will be most comfortable for people who have spent time on their bikes already this spring and have built some riding endurance. It is also ideal for people who want to ride a good distance and do not want to ride on the road. \nWHAT TO BRING: Your bike\, helmet\, and comfortable clothing for riding. A breezy morning can be chillier than you’d expect! Please also come prepared with 2L of water and snacks that you carry either in a small pack or on your bike. If you have a bike maintenance/repair kit\, that is also encouraged. \nWHAT WILL BE PROVIDED: The ride leader will bring along some donuts and juice! \nIf you have any questions or concerns about this ride\, please reach out to the ride leader\, Amber Stearns: astearns@outdoors.org \nIf you are unsure whether the distance and speed of this ride are a good fit for you or not\, don’t hesitate to contact Amber\, who can provide feedback and assist in your decision. \nIn the case of heavy rain or inclement weather\, this ride will be postponed to the summer. Amber will reach out to registered participants 48-24 hours in advance of the ride to confirm your attendance and provide any additional ride updates.
