Level D: 8mph, 15 - 20 miles. Meet at Cosmic Cafe, Lloyd Hall, # 1 Boathouse Row, Kelly Dr, East Fairmount Park . The ride leaves at 10:00 am. I can not motivate myself to get up and on my bicycle in the morning. But by leading a smiple bicycle ride, I commit myself to be up and on my bicycle. This motivation works for me because my personality is such that I can disappoint myself by not getting out of bed for a myself bicycle ride but I can not disappoint others who sign up for the ride! Got it? So let's go for short ride with minmum hills. Destination to be determined at start of the ride. If KYW is reporting rain outside their studio one hour prior to start ride cancels.

Level D: 8mph, 10 - 15 miles. Meet at Cosmic Cafe, Lloyd Hall, # 1 Boathouse Row, Kelly Dr, East Fairmount Park . The ride leaves at 10:00 am. I can not motivate myself to get up and on my bicycle in the morning. But by leading a simple bicycle ride, I commit myself to be up and on my bicycle. This motivation works for me because my personality is such that I can disappoint myself by not getting out of bed for a myself bicycle ride but I can not disappoint others who sign up for the ride! Got it? So let's go for short ride with minimal hills. Destination to be determined at start of the ride. If KYW is reporting rain outside their studio one hour prior to start ride cancels. Cue sheets will not be available.
