Fall Colors Ride

Fellow Cyclists,
This weekend, Sunday November 1st, Hopkins Cycling is hosting our Fall Colors Ride . For those of you who have never participated, it is our biggest group ride of the year, and generally has a relatively large turnout–last year, we had several dozen cyclists come out. We would like to encourage a very welcoming and no drop atmosphere. The summer season is well over, the weather is finally starting to change, a few leaves have fallen, and its time to enjoy a few relaxed months of riding, before winter is upon us, and base training begins again.

This year, there will be two rides:
1) The Caves Road loop is the easier option. Leader is TBA, so if anyone can volunteer, it would be much appreciated. The route is approximately 28 miles round trip from the Hopkins campus, at a very easy pace.

2) I will personally lead the longer ride, which will be some variation of the Park Heights loop–depending on the atmosphere of the group, we may
head up longnecker, piney grove or dover . Once again, it will be faster than the Caves Road group, but will still be fairly relaxed. Solid base mileage. So please, no hotshots or heroes. The ride will most likely be between 45-60 miles round trip from the Hopkins Campus.

We will be meeting at 9:40 at one world café,
Here's the google map's location, for those of you that aren't familiar with it.

We plan to get to Joe's Bike Shop on falls road by 10:00

Hope to see everyone on Sunday,
Sterling
