The TAB Monday night ride for May 1st is canceled

Do you enjoy the comradity that comes with having breakfast with your fellow cyclists? Is the pace of the Adventure Ride a bit more than you prefer? The pace of the Meandering Ride a bit less than you would like? You have been heard, introducing a third Saturday Ride option, the Traditional TAB Breakfast Ride. This Ride will have an 18 mph speed limit (except for strong tailwinds and downhills). Expect cruising speeds between 16.5 & 17.5. Distances will generally be 40 to 45 miles. Launching this Saturday, May 6 at 8:00 from Whitehouse. We will be riding to Liberty Cafe in Liberty Center. We are looking for at least one more Ride leader to join Charles Nicewonder & myself.

TAB Monday Night Ride starts Tomorrow!! There are a few changes for the ride, first, we are starting from Farnsworth Metroparks in Waterville at 6:30. We are parking at the Indianola parking lot (address in 8505 South River Rd. between Roche De Bluff and the boat launch). Second, for anyone interested, we plan on enjoying some social time after the ride at Shawn's Tavern in Waterville. So bring a change of clothes and hang out. The route is 25 miles and we will have at least 2 or 3 groups and this is a NO drop ride. Group 1 will roll between 19 and 21 MPH, Group 2 will roll between 17 and 19 MPH, and Group 3 will roll between 15 and 17 mph. Someone will ride with you, so there is no excuse to not come enjoy the beautiful route.
