Hello, it’s me again - your friendly slow and easy no drop leader. I’ve signed up as the “leader” for this Sunday’s ride out of Great Northern Mall touring the Clay/Central Square/ Mallory (Mallory?) countryside. 

This ride is flat and lovely - I’m expecting we’ll see beautiful autumn colors. Ride options are 22, 32, and 39 miles. I’m going to be riding 39 miles, so that will be the slower no drop option. You can also ride it fast - I promise I won’t drop the fast riders either! 

If anyone wants to offer to no drop one of the shorter rides, please let me know. You won’t have to worry about paperwork, just show up and ride, keep slower riders in your rear view mirror, and make sure they see where you turn. It also helps to stop and regroup a few times. 

The ride goes out at 10 a.m. promptly. It may be a bit chilly at the start - I recommend layers and a way to carry them if you take them off. Also please be sure to print your own maps and cue sheets if you want them. My relationship with my printer is one of wanting to drop kick it. 🤬

My group will stop for a rest and refueling break approximately halfway through the ride.

We had a nice turnout last weekend, hope to see peeps on Sunday. We’ll be on our trainers soon, so gotta gather the road miles while we may!
