3 September Cubanless MagLab Higher Ground Beginner Ride
The Cuban MagLab Higher Ground Beginner Rides: You need not be Cuban, MagLab, Higher Ground, nor Beginner to participate. Show up and ride with us!
STAY TUNED! Check the most recent beginner ride gallery each week to find the location of the next ride. I also post to the tal-rides list on Tuesday or Wednesday before each ride.
These rides may continue through 29 October, when we run out of Daylight Saving Time. Of course, since the sun sets at 6:52 on 29 Oct, forget that. Now if we get beginners equipped with high-power lights ...
We could move these beginner rides to a weekend morning (maybe Sundays at 10?) over the winter. Whether we shift the time or abandon the rides for the winter, 18 March 2010 (7:47pm sunset) will bring the return of Thursday DST. That's almost identical to the upcoming 10 September's 7:49PM sunset. Digest all this and bring your opinion re beginner rides to our next few get togethers.
NEXT RIDE:
10 September ride - it's back to Munson Hills Trail! Tentative plan - ride just the "west half" of Munson. Visualize using the Tall Pine Shortcut as the divider between the east and west sides. Got it? We can enter from the parking lot and be on Munson in about a half mile.
6:30pm meetup - gotta get going by 6:45. Ride distance will be held to ~7M to deal with the 7:49 sunset.
3 September ride notes:
This ride was initially planned as a Red Bug Trail loop. After batting that around a bit, we agreed to head west on the doubletrack from Forestmeadows to Lake Jackson. We did most of what's considered a popsicle loop, then returned on a parallel doubletrack. We hit Red Bug at the West Dipsea, rode backward (numerically) along the creek back to #1. Played around a bit on the skinnies, then home via the East Dipsea. Total ride was 6M.
