Tuesday Night Ride, Beer Star, Aug 19th

TNR is starting at Beer Star and heading south. We’ll ride together for the first 1.8 miles but will then divide into 3 groups. The standard route will be 16 miles and the longer route will ride a less relaxed 20 miles, but both will be casual and friendly groups. A third option will be our leaderless “faster & freer” format , 23 miles with three sharp climbs added. The supported rides will stick together or regroup throughout the ride and ensure no one gets left behind. Afterwards we'll enjoy refreshments at Beer Star (which despite the name is an all-ages venue). The more relaxed group should expect speeds around 14mph on the flats, slower on the climbs, faster on the downhills. The longer group should be ready for a couple mph faster. Please equip your bike with lights so that cars can see you as the sun gets low.
The ride is scheduled to start at 6:00. There’ll be a quick ride brief and introductions. We’ll depart no sooner than 6:05, but if you arrive at 6:06, there may or may not be anyone there.
Parking is very limited at Beer Star, so if you’re driving to the event, please park in the adjacent neighborhoods.
The routes are posted in the comments.
If the format descriptions of the three different ride groups are unclear, please refer to our June first posting.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comments or message the group.
