Road Ride
Meet: Jonesville Steeplechase
      14130 West Newberry Road
Planned Miles: 44
Route: Jonesville-Bronson-Archer
Ride Leader: Charles Courtney Mobile Phone Text

With the onset of warmer morning temperatures (62 degrees), this will be a MORNING ride. Meet at 8:00 a.m. Sunday for an 8:10 departure from the southwest corner of the Publix parking lot at Jonesville. We will bike to Bronson via a whole bunch of quiet side roads, then continue on to Archer via State Road 24 before returning to Jonesville via the Archer Braid trail and Parker Road. This will be a moderately paced, no drop ride. Expect cruising speeds of 16-18 mph, with an average speed of 16.5 mph. One rest stop at the Circle K in Archer with the possibility of an earlier stop in Bronson if the group so desires. There also may be one or more 1 minute "Be sure to drink your Gatorade" stops at the discretion of the Ride Leader. The weather forecast is for a 9-10 mph tailwind on the return, so we may break into a slower and a faster group after the Archer rest stop if some of the stronger riders are in a hurry to finish, in which case a ride leader will remain with the slower group.
