This is an excellent ride for new cyclists. Distance should be approximately 30 miles. We normally average 12-14 mph with two stops. Bring two bottles of water/Gatorade to stay hydrated. Bring a spare tube for your specific tires just in case you get a flat tire. Please note: At certain places we may ride a faster pace than listed, but no rider will be left. THIS IS A NO DROP RIDE!!
