We want to let you know about a special New Member Welcome Ride for Saturday morning, 8 am, July 22. This will be a 31-mile (with a 23-mile option), social, "Exploratory" route, (12-13 mph average with 15-18 mph typical rolling speed) with 2 planned rest stops. NO DROP. The part of the route going through Carrollton and Addison has hills, hence the 755 ft elevation change of this ride.
The ride will start from the Bicycles Plus parking lot at MacArthur and Belt Line, and will wind through Carrollton and Coppell. Overall ride time will probably be 2-1/2 to 3 hours.
This is not a "new to cycling" ride. It is for experienced riders new to the GDB.
Club president Pak Meng Cham (cell phone - 979-235-0572) will be leading this ride.
