Memorial day to labor day
Saturday Morning Group Ride from LaGrange
Last Saturday we had around a group of 20 cyclists complete a 48 mile ride North West of LaGrange. We kept the group together until the final 6 miles from Palmyra, average speeds were 19.5 mph. This Saturday, June 5, at 9:00 the popular Backyard Bikes Saturday group ride will keep a similar route. The roads in Jefferson County are some of the best in the area, very little car traffic and plenty of scenery. This ride is open to cyclist who can maintain an 18mph plus pace over a 40 mile course. Charlie, our area shortcut expert will be on hand to lead a slightly slower pace group. . Disclaimer these are informal unsupported bike rides and riders are responsible for themselves and their own safety. Please ride responsibly, follow the rules of the road, and do not obstruct traffic (get in single file when a vehicle approaches).

Tuesday night road ride 8/10
april to sept
We haven't been northeast for a while, so next Tuesday August 10 lets to the Waterville road route. Unfortunately there's not enough daylight to actually do Waterville so take the right at ZC. Also stay north on ZION to CI to hardscrabble avoiding Hwy Z. http://www.backyardbikes.com/Images/Waterville-Rd-43-miler.pdf
