Ride tot he Res - Group Bike Ride 03-19-2016

Had a great bicycle ride with Fernando, Justin Schlitt, Zatch and Dan.

Ended with 34 miles at a 16 mph average speed. Little bit higher than advertised but that is who showed up. 

Bicycle ride recorded using front and rear facing Garmin Virb cameras, Garmin 810 head unit and produced using Virb Edit software.

Details of the ride posting...

• Date:  Saturday, 3/19/2016
• Arrival Time: 8:45 AM
• Departure Time:  9:00am SHARP
• End Time:  11:30 am
• Ride Leader: Jason Ward 
• Start Location: Goodspeed Cycles  2125 183rd St, Homewood, IL 60430
• Distance/Time Duration:  34 miles @ 2.5 hours
• Average Speed and Rolling Speed: Computer 15 mph, rolling 16-18 mph
• Drop Ride  (We will stop for flats/mechanicals).
• Route and Description of the ride:  No egos … just a solid early season training ride.  While this is a drop ride, we aren’t racing just holding the training pace that is listed.
  
  Weatherman is calling for a high of 41 with a 11 mph NE wind.  This will make for a great tailwind heading south to the Reservoir but a headwind on the way back to GoodSpeed Cycles.  A portion of the route back should protect use from the wind.
  
  We will ride south to Monee Reservoir (17 miles - ½ way) and take a quick break to refuel,  bathroom and let others catch up. There is a concession stand that sells bottled water, gatorade, candy bars, etc.
• Goodspeed Cycles will not be open when we leave.  However they will be open when we return and have all the accommodations of a bike shop including a bathroom :)
