Is anyone interested in doing a regular morning ride during the week that hits about 20to30 miles and starts around 7 or earlier?

I can ride but it depends on where you live. Are you that Dave that runs B&B? We can start from the court on the square.

No, I'm a completely different Dave . I live off of Franklin Heights on the west side of town, near Hwy 96.

I can commit to at least one regular daily ride, most likely on Tues or Wed. I ride usually about 20to30miles on a usual weekday run, and I do ride at a pretty fast clip(18+avg). I do not ride if it is raining or excessively windy.

For the single weekday ride that I could commit to/host, I am mapping out 2 or 3 different routes of different difficulty levels and lengths, and would hopefully get them posted to the ride maps portion of the site for reference. I am thinking that BlackmanHS would be a good starting place for my ride, so some of the same ground would be covered that day no matter where we go. It is generally flat out where I am with the exception of some gentle hills like Independence, Windrow, Tiger, etc.

I know the morning presents some challenges for people that work during the day, so the following are my conditions: I have to be done with my rides before 9am, so a 7am start would be critical if the plan is to cover about 30 miles.

YS, Do you use Gmaps Pedometer? With an eye towards some of these rides being a regular thing, I'd love to have some prearranged routes setup for all so that they can pick and choose when and where. I suppose we'd have to arrange the days of the week that we start from the square or from somewhere else, depending upon who is interested.

Hi David, sounds like something I'd be in for 2-3 times a week. Please let me know your thoughts on where and when. Also welcome to start from my house on the south side of town. Todd Stanley.

This sounds like something I would love to commit to in the summer! Keep me posted, and thanks for initiating.
