the ride starts at the mission valley Chili's off of Mission gorge right under the 8 freeway. It starts right around 8 am and consist of a couple 28mph+ sections and some faster sections with a couple of sprint points. there is also a few small climbs but nothing to horrific at all. there is a regroup point. PM me if you are coming and we'll hook up at the start. there are usually about 35-50 people there.

More recently though due to a respiratory track infection, I've only been able to keep up for 4-5 laps and an addition 1 or 2. I'm thinking about trying the A ride, but I do like the paceline practice the B ride offers.
Fiesta for those of us that are a little weak is all about course management. I ride for Dewalt so if you want come find me (the only one on a black specialized that rides for dewalt) and i'll give you some pointers on hanging on. There is also a good group ride on tuesday evenings starting at 6 also on Fiesta.
