Itinerary:
Mother Nature is giving us a bonus warm day, aka "Indian Summer," so let's take advantage of it!

We will meet at the Silver Comet Depot at 1:30 to meet and prep for a 1:45pm ride start. This will be a timed ride vis-a-vis a mileage ride. So we will simply head west on the Silver Comet for an hour, then turn around. I will have a road bike, but road, hybrid or mountain bikes are certainly acceptable. I expect our average speed to average around 10-12 mph. And this is a "no drop" ride... this just means that we will periodically regroup so no one gets left behind... this just means that we will periodically regroup so no one gets left behind....so please have this expectation if you sign up.

Silver Comet: If you have never experienced this wonderful trail, please understand this is a multi-use trail with bikers, walkers, runners and skaters on the trail. It is imperative that we follow trail etiquette by staying on the right side of the trail, notifying others when about to pass, and using hand signals.

If you join us, I ask that you also do an inspection of your bike tonight to preempt delays. Check for your tire condition, brake condition, seat adjustment, and helmet condition at a minimum. I will have a tire pump if anyone needs to borrow it.
