Pre-ride information
Confirming update as of 10:41 AM 11/5/2024.
While we currently have only 2 riders committed to riding I will be at Silver Park shortly before 1:30 PM today, 11/5 to begin this cool afternoon ride. We should see a high of 40 degrees for most of the ride time. Dress warm if you plan to ride.
Returning after a somewhat extended break for our Tuesday rides this will be a slow to moderate ride on Tuesday afternoon. Given the 10/29/2024 extended weather forecast for 11/5 for a high of 43F. and winds W @7 mph. Given this long range forecast, I am hoping for a change before Tuesday. Please watch for late notification of cancellation. I am open to suggestions for a 15 to 20 mile ride please submit comments on the "Propose a Bike Ride" page.
Please RSVP if you’re considering joining the ride so that you will be provided the leader's contact information and can be informed of any late-breaking changes (e.g., weather-related cancellation).
If you have any suggestions for future rides for this primarily Tuesday biking group, please let me know by entering it on the "Propose a Bike Ride" page and indicate that you would like someone else to lead. Also, if you would be interested in leading or co-leading any of the future MBC-UMRA Tuesday rides, you can submit your interest on our "Propose a Bike Ride" page.
Any cancellation/postponement of this ride will be posted here and a cancellation email will be sent out not later than 11:00 AM on Tuesday 11/5, to all who have RSVP'd. Always dress appropriately for your comfort.
While this ride is targeted towards UM Retirees, it is open to all MBC members. Please remember that this will be a slow to moderate pace. Please RSVP if you’re considering joining the ride so that you will be provided the leader's contact information and can be informed of any late-breaking changes (e.g., weather or smoke related cancellation).
