Level D/D+/C-, 8-13 mph, 20-25 miles. Meet at Azalea Garden's formal entrance, behind the Art Museum. The ride leaves at 10:00 am. So sorry to have to cancel, but the leader is sick, as of 2/18. Anyone for hot coffee, tea, or cocoa, mixed with warm conversation? Let's head west/NW toward the Main Line, at an easy, relaxed pace, in search of a welcoming cafe. We will climb a few hills here & there, but slow & gentle climbing (or walking up hills) is perfectly fine on this ride. We'll stop to regroup as often as needed. Cue sheets will be provided, but the route can be adjusted as needed/desired. Ride is cancelled in the event of rain/snow/ice/slick roads, or if the temperature at start time is less than 29F. PLEASE CONTACT the LEADER AHEAD of TIME, if you plan to join this ride. Also, please contact the Leader if you have questions, e.g., proper layers of clothing.
