The Lodge Group Bike Ride Schedule April 10 & 11 - Sunday Ride Goes to Amelia Island

The Epic Paris Roubaix 2010 bike race is on Versus (ch 448 on Comcast and now Versus is back on Direct TV) in full HD this Sunday at 6:00 PM - 9PM. Also check out the Tour of The Basque Country on Universal TV (ch 200 on Comcast) this weekend.


Please remember with the large Saturday morning bike ride group it is a warm up ride speed around 20 MPH to the Palm Valley bridge. The issue is traffic on 210 to the bridge. When the speed picks up it strings out the pace line and causes several gaps which then the cars try to pass and fill in the gaps at the same time faster riders are sprinting around the slower riders to catch back on.

Looks like a nice sunny weekend for road bike riding. Ride time Saturday morning forecasted temperature is in the mid to high 50'sF and Sunday is the lower 60'sF.
