5/9 Saturday Ride

When did it get this late? I just looked at the calendar and realized we have two weeks left before the Memorial Day Ride, so we're going to need to get some miles in!

I think we should plan on going to Brunswick this weekend (65 miles, or you can turn back at Freeport for 35) and get ready to do the Raymond Hills next weekend. This has six Cat 5 climbs in it over 52 miles, so be prepared with adequate hydration and snacks. We should meet out in Cumberland for that one, so be sure to plan.

Andy will be leading the Randonneurs on a trip around Forest Lake at about 13.4 mph

Hi Bron,
What's the groups average speed/elapsed time for the 65 mile ride?
Thanks,
Eddie

Hi Eddie!

The SMR typically averages 17-18 mph. Over this distance I would expect that average to drop a little, but not below 16.5. With this course, there is a shorter loop that lets you turn back toward Portland in Freeport (for 35 miles).
