SRC Weekend Rides – Double Dam Loop & Red Horn

Here we go again, rain is in the hourly weekend forecast. Will post a go/no-go by 6:45am.
Saturday there will be two group ride levels leaving at different times (from Cups & Cones) – Faster Pace and Endurance Pace.

• Faster Pace 7:30 am ride will go out anti-clockwise for the two dam loop (Mansfield and Miller) for 53 miles at 18-20 mph avg. Get the route here: https://www.strava.com/routes/13786064
• Track progress or enroute here: https://www.wahooligan.com/users/live/0SMVmji6alCkLzYxOg7mTw

• Endurance Pace Group leaves at 8:00 am this week and based on some time constraints (entirely Yunker’s fault), will spin a quick 35 miles down Jollyville to visit Nelo and his dogs. This route is mostly flat, but we still need to climb out of Steiner. We can expect an average pace of 14-17 mph. This is a NO DROP ride but you are expected to have some basic level of fitness.

After the ride, we meet up at Lakeside for some discounted breakfast tacos, burgers and beer!

Sunday is our usual Coffee Shop ride to Red Horn from C&C at 7:30 am. It is 50 miles and is at an endurance pace typically finishing around a 17mph average speed. While we make great efforts to keep the group together, with a few re-group points, this is NOT a no drop ride. Red Horn is 20 miles away and is where we stop for coffee, breakfast tacos, pastries, and socializing before finishing the rest of the ride.

Sunday is our coffee shop ride to Thunderbird on Sunday at 7:30 am from C&C for the coffee shop ride. This is an updated 50 mile route and the ride is “endurance pace” and friendly. This means the entire ride should roughly be about 17mph average and we will try to keep everyone together with a few re-group points, but it is still classified as a ‘drop ride’.
