There are several 'friendly' sprint points and a regrouping [lv no rider behind] at the 'turn' - Garden Highway and Elverta Rd. Pacing [20-25 tempo] will vary w/ season and makeup of the group. For those mileage hounds, several riders 'tac on' 30-50 after the medium ride depending on the weather, season, and condition of 'the legs'. Great chance to learn some riding skills and have some competitive camaraderie.
