Noon Sunday 5/22/2022 Beverly School. A 36 mile loop approximately 50% dirt and 50% paved. With the rain the night before the dust should be down and with a noon stating time the roads should be dry. The route does have some hills in it and some fast downhills on gravel. show up on your Cross/Mtn/Gravel bike.
Led by Tony S.
No rain in forecast until 3 PM, so it’s 24 miles to coffee from the park at 9 AM. Northerly route.
I’ll post a call on weather by about 8 AM. It is impossible to call at the moment, with rain ending around 9 and beginning again by Noon. Who knows? Certainly not the Weather Service..
It looks pretty iffy, but if weather permits we will actually GET coffee at the Starbucks at The Village in Rochester. The route out is absolutely dead flat [in between the big hills] the whole way out.
You could also do the 3rd Saturday Belle Isle Ride with JC Azar fro RO as an alternate, but you should be aware that JC is apparently waterproof and doesn’t actually care if it rains before you make that call.
If you rode with me Thursday night we got about 30 miles and returned by 8:30, but turn out was light. I’ll try that one more time and then unless turn out for the B version majorly improves I’ll just start doing the 6:10 version again myself.

Your choice …
6:10PM from Beverly SCHOOL – Oakland hill ride with Jim. Probably goes to at least Oakland University hills and beyond. This ride will be brisk and may drop riders.
6:15 PM from Beverly PARK – More moderate version of the traditional Oakland hill route at a more typical Beverly Ride pace. Still quick, but regroups on stops and attempts to avoid drops. This is an experiment this week which may or may not become a regular ride; there have been many requests for a softened version of Thursday but no volunteer leader as of yet so I’m doing it this time.
I’d prefer to see these consolidate into a single group but we will see how it goes. If you are interested in being a reliable leader for the second group, please put your hand up. This is a relatively easy lead in that it follow a generally fixed route that varies only in length over the year.
For anyone keeping stats, the regular Tuesday ride did about 27 miles and 1200 feet of ascent in less than 2 hours at a faster rhythm than we had done so far this year. We had many new riders to the group as well and it was a fun ride.
Old Woodward is now CLOSED from Maple to Lincoln, so we will be going out by a different route to avoid the dig.

It should be a nice cool evening and we have been doing mostly flatter routes, so tonight we will hit some bigger hills.
