This is pretty much the route that I had planned. Pretty similar to
what Steve said, just a little longer. This route is around 65
miles, give or take...if we want some additional miles we could pick
them up as we come back into town or something. This is not set in
stone, if anyone knows of a better route to pick up the same
time/mileage it's open to suggestions.

A lot of times people don't know until they get into the ride they
will have to drop off. That's why it isn't stated before the ride
starts. Some people only have a set amount of time and depending on
the pace of the ride depends on when they will have to turn off. The
NYE ride was posted as a 2+ hour ride, we had to stop several times
for people who had either fallen off the back or for mechanicals,
those things can't be predicted. If you decide to break off from the
group, just let everyone know you are doing so and make sure you know
the way home. The rides aren't NO DROP, so treat it just like a
dropped rider.

This ride will leave at 10:00 a.m. Saturday morning from Buchanan's.
Weather looks like it will be great, mid to upper 60's with a strong
south wind.

See ya' there,
Chad
