7am start goes through probably Oct 1st or so before we start moving back to the winter schedule. Rides leave from the N.W. corner of Coit and Spring Creek. Easiest route from Allen is to take the 75 access road down to Spring Creek, go through the light at Coit and then take the 2nd right turn into the shopping center. There are rides ranging in speed from 13mph up to 20+, distances from the low 20s to upwards of 60 or more most weekends. Depending on the weather I'll either be riding DB2 or DB Lite - more information on the PBA website (planobicycle.org). Plan to get there at least 15mins ahead of ride time to get ready and sign the release wavier.

the PBA often has what we call a "DB Long" or even "DB X-Long" which often puts in 60+ miles every Saturday. They usually start with the DB2 group, splitting off at the first rest stop. Pace is typically 16.5 or so.
