Fast, Mid-Week Lunchtime Ride! April 23rd

Hi! I’m Marc, a relative newcomer to Greenville and Bikes & Beers. I have been doing 2-3 rides a week on the Swamp Rabbit Trail since I got here in November – from Legacy Park to Traveler’s Rest and back, usually on weekdays because of lower traffic. Also because I am currently unemployed. 🙁

I thought I would see if there is enough interest to do what I do as a group ride regularly every other Wednesday, or some other mutually agreeable day during the week. I’m also open to altering the time to earlier in the morning if that accommodated more people’s schedule. (No earlier than 9AM, though) Please leave comments.

In general the rides I lead will leave from Legacy Park. Meetup will be in the pedestrian circle next to the parking lot at the corner of Legacy Park Rd and Rocky Slope Rd. There is street parking along Legacy Park Rd if the parking lot is full.

The round trip is just over 28 miles. THIS WILL NOT BE A CASUAL PACE RIDE like the Saturday rides. I will keep a roughly 13-16mph pace over the whole distance and I expect that we will stay together as a group. Not flying but not slow either. I will also be limiting attendance to 10 as too many riders in a group is difficult on the Swamp Rabbit Trail, especially in the park areas.

We will stop at Community Tap in TR for a break and a beer (Or your refreshment of choice) and then head back to Legacy Park. We can get a bite to eat if enough people want to do that – otherwise please bring a snack of some kind.

Again, please leave comments if you are interested in the basic idea of a faster weekday ride but have some specific reservation or idea on how it might accommodate you better.
