The usual route is 18 miles with 1000 ft of elevation. You can easily skip some hills, by choosing the 14 mile ride. [There is a split around mile 8] [marked on pavement] This route has a nice flow, and the surface is pretty clean. If wet surfaces are expected, it’ll cancel, as there are some sections of downhill. Usually there is a faster paced group 17-20 MPH.  Often a slower group of riders 15-17 MPH goes also but that is not guaranteed as it depends on who shows up. For this reason, please download the route and be ready to navigate.

Remember to bring your front and rear lights!
