Club Social Ride Notes

Thanks again to club members Alan Norman and Louis Newton,
for putting together this year's (and last year's, and the year's before, ad infinitem) social ride schedule,
as well as being stalwart ride marshals throughout the year. Great job, guys!

The group rides at a medium tempo (about 17 mph average pace), generally in a double pace line.
The ride usually has a least one rest stop, and the group usually waits for stragglers after the biggest hills.
Sometimes the ride will go faster, and correspondingly come apart,
on the ride back, assuming that folks will know the way home.

If you haven't ridden with the group before, haven't ridden in a pace line,
or are uncertain about the route or the pace,please make a point of introducing yourself
and expressing your concerns. Someone will be glad to work with you.

Most of the routes on this schedule can be found in Ken Putnam & Judy Wallace's book,
"Great Bike Rides In And Around Winston-Salem" available at Ken's Bike Shop and other local stores.
The book includes great photos, descriptions of the routes and route maps.
It's a great resource for anybody who cycles around here!
