A beautiful 100 mile ride across SW metro, combination of road rides along large shoulders and protected trail rides.  Smooth roads!

Target finish avg. pace of 19.0 with elevation means at times pace will be 20-23 MPH.  A due to length (not a sprint).  Will work together in pace line to make this enjoyable for all and wait at tops of hills so no worries!

Mile 33 - Stop in Jordan at Broadway Market Gas Station       
Mile 60 - Holiday in St. Bonnie
