B, Spring Tune-Up #2, 44mi


Been off the bike for a while?

For Spring 2024, I'm again running a series of rides (4 to 6 to ??) to help get us back in riding shape. Over the next several weeks, we'll ramp up from low B to B+ in effort level.

But there's more to it than just being in shape and riding faster. If you're really interested in riding as a group (and not just a group ride), this may be for you. Those who want to learn are 100% welcome; same for those who already know what I'm talking about; those who value personal mph maybe not so much.

Ride #2 is a simple route again, without any significant climbs. It's designed to increase effort slightly, while getting us to work together in single pacelines (see animation and here) were possible. Expect a group pace near 15 mph. Our effort was tough to gauge last week, as we really combined rides with another group, but I expect this to be a solid B effort.



Rest stop (Rite Aid) at mile 28, with Wawa as alternative.

I will increase the # of available slots if no alternate B rides are posted (but I'll need some help).

Gameday decisions by 7:30a.
