Ride Start/Finish: Fowler Creek Park on Altia Ave. DRT is Saturday, to observe Father's Day. The forecast has a cool high of 72°F, but confirm on the "day of.". I will lead the slower riders with the early start. Jennifer will list separately, starting at 8 am, for faster cyclists. This route is about as close as one can get without doing the actual DR. The long climbs and climbing per mile are similar to the DR if we analyze the RWGPS data from actual riders, which eliminates the artifacts. This ride has many "bailout" options, especially at the end of the ride. So you can push yourself to your limit and then limp back to the car. Go at your own pace and shorten the ride as needed. Sunset will be at 8:30 pm Start location: Fowler Creek Park [Route/Map]
