Rain showers are forecasted for Saturday (nothing new). The route stays in the area and can be shortened depending on the weather conditions. Of course, I will monitor the weather forecast.
Bring a cue sheet and/or a map and/or a loaded device to the ride and have the phone number of the Ride Leader and also a friend.
Again, this is a moderate ride with some rollers so be sure you can do the stated average pace for the distance of 47 miles. If you choose to ride at a much faster pace or deviate from the route then you are on your own.
