Description
This is the fastest (non-race team) club ride on the calendar and the ride is about 35 miles and ridden in a paceline. After winding out to Old Davis road, the speed picks up to 20-22. Over the next 20 miles, the pace will hit 24+ mph. We regroup at Tremont after a 5.5 mile ride north on Bulkley.
If you want to try this ride and not sure you can keep up with a 20 mph pace, there are 2 optional loops that you can skip – Sykes-Miller-Midway-Sykes and the loop through Yolano (starting and ending at Bulkley and Midway) The Miller loop adds 4 miles and the Yolano loop is 3.5 miles. With the fast group riding 20 mph, you will pick up about 12 minutes skipping each loop and will be able to meet up at Tremont and Bulkley for the ride into Davis for coffee. There are often 1 or 2 others that will skip one of the loops, but as with all rides, download the route and be self sufficient.
