Hi All, the March 15 training ride was supposed to be a 50 miler from 64/109, but due to some people racing and other obligations it's been moved to Oak Ridge Elementary at 9:30. Because of the threat of rain and since this was on the calender as just a 50 miler anyways I'm keeping the route short, not the 70 mile distance that was in the form e-mail that was sent out - though if it ends up being a nice day we can always find more roads. The route will go via rolling backroads to Germanton, east to Walnut Cove, and in Walnut Cove we have an option point. If it looks like the rain is going to get us I have a route straight back for a total ride of a little over 41 miles, if it looks like the weather is going to hold we'll continue east around Belews Lake to Stokesdale and back for a little over 53 miles. There are regrouping points and 2 stores on the short route and a 3rd on the long route. Cue sheets below. Hope to see you tomorrow, Mike
