REMINDER: Chickadee #2, Road, Sunday Aug 16

REMINDER: This Sunday is the second Chickadee event of 2009. Come excited, come prepared, come hydrated, come fueled, and come with money, a cell phone, a positive mental attitude, and maybe a headlamp (well ok, maybe not a headlamp, but you never know).

We’ve made a “small” modification to the planned route and departure time. Details, maps and instructions will be distributed at the start. Please be ON TIME!!! It will be a long day, we don’t want to leave any later than we have to, and you don’t want to ride alone.

Start: Wild Cherries, Leaving at 7am SHARP!!! If you’re coming, plan on being ready to ride no later than 6:30am. Please park AWAY from the coffee shop- on the other side of the parking lot, or even park on the side streets by cyclepaths and ride over
Finish: BEHIND Cyclepaths, look for the tired cyclists drinking beer in the shade
Specs: 115miles, 11,000’ climbing, 5 KOMs
Route: Easy to follow, all pavement, major/known roads
Bike to bring: Road
Reminders: This is an unsupported fun ride. Most riders will have 2 large bottles on their bike, and some will carry a third in a jersey pocket. Bring PLENTY of food (e.g. Extra drink mix, 6+ bars, gels, blocks, etc). There will also be plenty of places to stop and buy food/drink if you need it.

See you there!
