Friday "Good Friday" - 9:00 AM at The Lodge - 35 to 40 miles
For those riders that have Good Friday off we will have a group bike ride.
The Tour de Nocatee.
We will leave at 9:00 AM so that the morning work traffic can thin out and let it warm up a little.
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. Last week we were riding around 24 MPH by the roundabout. 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 and warm weekend for road bike riding. Ride time Saturday and Sunday morning forecasted temperature is the upper 50'sF to lower 60'sF.

Remember this is a GROUP ride.
We will regroup when necessary for those loosing contact with the group.
Let’s try to keep everyone together back to the Palm Valley Bridge
