Monday Night Ride Starts Soon…See What’s New this Season!
April 18th, 2010 8:56 pm
Hello all, are you ready for the MNRide 2010! 6 years and still one of the best attended rides in West Michigan.
Some changes for this season and plenty to stay the same.
STAYS THE SAME
- Groups stay the same.
- Sport 1 is the first group, 21 mph average for 40 miles. There is no sweep for this group. If you fall off Sport 2 will be close behind. Sport 1 will encourage staying together, but if you’re not feeling the love that night or you have a flat/mechanical trouble, the Sport 2 is just behind.
- Sport 2 is second at 18 mph average for 35 miles. Sometimes there is a sweep for this but not every week. The route never changes so you’ll know the way back.
- Sally’s Ride is the third group. 15 mph average for about 26 miles, no sweep but the group does stay together very well.
- ROLL OUT 6:30! Please be ready.
Also be prepared. Tubes with the knowledge to use them. A working bike and rider. Water and food.
CHANGES FOR 2010
- Hamilton Route every other week! A popular route among many has been included for 2010. All groups stay the same. Sport 1 and 2 follow the same route. Sally’s Ride route has yet to be determined. Here’s the route: http://www.mapmyride.com/route/us/mi/holland/152127068834752282
- New Richmond Bridge official route to cross the K-Zoo river. We used 58th all last year because of park construction, but that is clean and clear now. We’ll go straight through New Richmond and over the bridge. Waiting on the other side is one of the steepest climbs with a stop ahead and glory for the first rider to the top.
We’ll ask all NON-club riders to please sign a waiver prior to riding. Not a member? $20.00 bucks gets you the whole year with no signing in.
THE FIRST MNRide IS MAY 3RD, THE FIRST MONDAY OF MAY!
