This will a paceline training ride, where we will be doing laps of the 6.25 mile Time Trial loop.   So, doing the numbers, that works out to 6 laps, plus riding to and from the start to get our mileage.

The Plan is to ride 5 laps at a strong pace and then slow down and do one easy cooldown lap.  The fifth lap will be the all-in "Bell Lap", where you can push it to get to the finish, but don't forget the sprint to the Llama farm!  For most of the ride, the group will stay together and if someone goes to the front of the paceline and jacks-up the pace, the group may counter-attack that rider for disturbing the ride flow!  Bear in mind, B+ rides should have a 17 to 18 MPH average, with a max. cruising speed of 19 to 21 MPH. So 21 MPH should be our max. speed except downhill/downwind or in that last lap sprint!

Since, this is a training ride you may get dropped!  That's where the beauty of this loop comes-in, you can either ride by yourself, or take the Line Road shortcut to catch back up!

There are a few rules to remember for this ride:

There is only one ride leader on this ride.

This is a paceline ride; you may be passed on the right or on the left. IF this makes you uncomfortable, DON'T COME ON THIS RIDE, you could cause an accident.

 If you are in a bad mood and want to curse at riders or the Ride Leader, DON'T COME ON THIS RIDE, you will be thrown off the ride.

If you want to argue about how the ride is run or riding technique, DON'T COME ON THIS RIDE, you will be thrown off the ride.

Let's have a safe, fun ride...

Allons-y!
