Itinerary:

You should be able to maintain a pace of 14 mph over 20 miles and preferable have some experience in group road riding.   If you don't have these qualifications, please email he and we can discuss to determine if the ride is right for you. 

This is a 30 mile road ride through low traffic country with gently rolling hills.   This route is great for those with good endurance but prefer a moderate pace.  We'll meet at the main traffic light in downtown Social Circle (see directions below).  

Our pace of 12 to 14 mph is moderate, with no drops.   You should have some experience with group road riding and be able to ride a continuous 30 miles on the Silver Comet (ex, mile 0 to Hiram and back).
