You (and anyone else interested in joining us) are invited to a Group Training Ride in Hamilton on May 27 in preparation for the 2012 Ride to Conquer Cancer. Please feel free to pass this email along to others that are doing the ride this year. I've attached a Route Map & Directions - here are the details:
- Sunday May 27, 2012
- Meet at 9:00am, Ride at 9:30am
- Start & Finish at St. Thomas More H.S., 1045 Upper Paradise Road, Hamilton (parking lot in front of the school)
- Route is 61km and includes the Ancaster Hill Climb, which is part of the Day 1 Ride to Conquer Cancer route
- Approximately 16km of this route is the same as the Day 1 route
- Pace will likely be 20-25 km/h (I rode almost the exact route this weekend and averaged 22km/h)
- There is only 1 road on the route I am not familiar with (Inksetter) so I will check it out this week and may adjust the route slightly if necessary
- The more the merrier, especially if people want to split into faster / slower groups
Please note that this will NOT be a "supported" training ride in any way, so no feed / hydration stations, no road closures, etc - just a group of riders that want to get out and ride together before the big day(s). Please follow all traffic laws and ride with safety as your #1 priority.
If you have any questions, please let me know. I can be reached by email at jeffandjoanne@cogeco.ca.
Please RSVP if you are definitely going to join us so we can get an idea on how many people to expect. I look forward to riding with you, and good luck with your continuing fundraising!
