B-Squared with roll this Saturday May May 10th from Gulledge. Being May, the start time is 7:30 a.m. Please arrive by 7:15 for check in.
Similar Route to last week, a little different. We've done this once before. Winds are expected to be out of the South. The full route is 41 miles with a rest stop at 22 miles and a "quick stop" at 37 miles.
B2 41 Los Rios
The speed for B-Squared is 14-15mph "moving average". As ride leader and pulling up front, I adjust actual speeds as follows:
Flats with no wind around 17-18 mph; Climbs: 12-16 mph; Descents: 20-23mph. Wind is also taken into account in adjusting speed. Along with a couple of warmup miles, stops, smooth starts, and the occasional gap, these speeds will generally give us a moving average between 14 to 15 mph.
