Level all levels, 8-40 mph, 8.3 miles. Meet at Azalea Garden's formal entrance, behind the Art Museum. The ride leaves at 10:00 am. So you think that you are a fast rider or know that you are slow, but in this event you speed does not determine the winner. A course is planned to start at the Azalea Garden behind the Philadelphia Art Museum. The racers of all categories predict the time it will take them to complete the loop around MLK Drive and Kelly Drive. It doesn’t matter how fast you go, but how close to your predicted time it takes to complete the course. No watches, bike computers, or any other device will be allowed that will give you a clue to time and speed. Starting time is 10:00 AM with registration starting at 9:30. There will be a preregistration event sign-in on the web site. This event will be for no more than 30 predictors. There will be a $5 registration fee with 50% of this fee going to a biking related charity. The remainder will be divided by a 3/2/1 ratio for prizes to the closest predictors. If you don't feel like riding you can come to cheer the riders. Please look for further info on the web site in mid to late march. .
