We usually start with the warm up loop which takes a little under an hour, so I'll be at bel Air at 10:00 for anyone wanting to sign in then.
This ride will complete my 2024 challenge for leading some rides. I like the format for a variety of reasons, but since it rarely draws many riders, I will probably rarely schedule it in 2025. However, the routes are in the Bike Hikers RWGPS library and I have plenty of printed cue sheets available for anyone wanting to use these excellent routes (that I did not create) for hill training and workouts.
