For those that are new...you might want to come a little early for the legs. You could also give me a call. PM me for my cell number. I can give you an idea of where we are at.
I'm not looking to ride a 4:30 century like others , I'm all in for a more laid back social ride. However if possible I would like to get a century in before I have to go.

I'll be there for the first loop.

Total noob question but, is there a place to change or do you all just wear your shorts on the drive? This will be the first time I've driven anywhere to start a ride.

beer, pasta, and DQ.

for a work day lunch.

all before a century.

what the heck do you do after a century?

dang it all to heck. now i want a blizzard. chocolate brownie explosion, but a small will do. that large will set you back 1100 calories and 40 garms of fat (25 saturated), but hey you burn like 12,000 calories tomorrow pulling us around. later.

There is a small bathroom there, but most of us drive there already in kit. Either way try to be ready to roll by 8 for the first loop.

BTW - technically the park doesn't open until 8 but the gate is usually open before.
