Dear Fellow Teammates,

As temperatures and weather are both getting a bit better, and it seems we will be having a dry weekend, the plan for this Saturday is to go for a long ride, which includes Mount Umunhum and the more gentle side of MetCalf. The full ride is ~92 miles with ~8k feet of elevation, but besides those two climbs there will be plenty of opportunity to paceline and relax on the flat. There will be several water stops, but please bring lots of food and water, and do not forget to fuel yourself along the ride!

As this will be a high load training section, we will try to aim for a tempo pace for the whole ride to keep the peloton all together, but if you feel strong and motivated on the climbs or you may want to reduce the pace, we will be having multiple regrouping point and at least regroup at the top and at the bottom of each climbs. Also the ride offers plenty of opportunity to bail out in case you may be time constrained or may decide to go home, and you are very welcome to stay with us even for a few miles, and enjoy drafting behind or pulling us!

As always, it is really appreciated if you intend to ride with us, if you could RSVP on Strava so that I have a better understanding of the attendance, and I can keep everyone updated in case of any changes. Also please feel free to contact me directly in case you may want to join from a different starting point so that we can coordinate.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please let me know.

See you on Saturday,

-Salvatore
