Sundays Ride - Return to the Hills

This Sundays Ride is the Hills ride held over from last week. The weather looks fantastic 23 degrees, light winds. 

Make the effort to get out. This is the first ride in the Hills so we will make sure we regroup at the top of the climbs and major turns.

The Ride is the modified Pain Lives Here loop to allow for a cafe stop at Uraidla. Coffee comes up way to soon on the standard loop so we have added extensions.

Meet 8:00 am in the City
or, 8:30 am at the Tower Hotel
