Novice Riders!

Come Ride with Us!


Please arrive by 7:45AM for pre-ride housekeeping and information.


The weather forecast is showing a chance of VERY gusty winds on Saturday morning. I will keep a close watch on that, and if the wind gusts are forecasted to be over 25mph when I check Friday evening -- the ride will be cancelled. I will post by 9PM with either -- "we are rolling", or "we are cancelling".


Sorry folks -- it's the crazy weather of a Texas Spring!


Another fun fly in the ointment is that the runners in Frisco are taking over part of MY FAVORITE NOVICE ROUTE with a fun Springtime 1/2 marathon. So I have dug into the archives, and have pulled out an oldie but a goodie for our route on Saturday. This is also a good choice because it offers us some protection from the wind.


PBA Novice 18 Route #4


This is an 18 mile route with a rest stop around mile 10.


We will all get back to the parking lot, and I will offer an additional 7 bonus miles to anyone who would like to build some mileage. The bonus miles are usually at the Step-Up pace (13-14 average); however we will adjust for the slowest rider. Bonus miles are not mandatory -- but they are a great tool to help build up mileage for those who would like more miles and/or are nervous to jump up to the next group because of the increase mileage.


Gullege 7 Bonus Miles


Do check for updates on the website, blog, or FB.
