Hello Wheelies: This week, we'll be riding to North Fork Chai in Newcastle. The long route is 40 miles, 2550' of climbing. Route includes climbing Shirland Tract and descending via Millertown. Coffee at North Fork Chai, 661 Newcastle Rd, Newcastle (behind Denny's). The short route is 30 miles with 1600' of climbing. Coffee at North Fork Chai. Both rides begin and end in the traffic circle in front of the bathrooms at Granite Bay Community Park, located on the corner of Douglas Blvd and Barton Rd. 8:30 socialization, 8:45 sign in, 9:00 pedals down. Note: Having access to route navigation is a requirement for these Saturday morning Granite Bay rides. Printed cue sheets and maps are not provided by the ride leader. It's up to each rider to come prepared to ride, including having proper navigation for the route. Thank you for understanding. Also, please be aware of traffic and ride single file to allow traffic to safely pass. Thank you.

PS. On most Saturdays, we have between 30 and 40 riders signing in prior to the start. A sincere thank you to the majority of you riders who sign in shortly after arriving and who are ready to ride by 9:00. However, for those of you who really, really, really enjoy extensive socializing before you do anything else, e.g., unload your bikes, put on your shoes, helmets, etc, and be fully prepared to ride, and then wander down to the start at 8:58 to sign in, I would really, really, really appreciate it if you could please hold off on extensive socializing until after you sign in. It works for the rest of us and it will work for you too! Thank you!!!
Steve
