****************
This list of rides is intended for planning purposes to help leaders organize rides and riders plan which rides to attend. When no Slow Spokes or Team CBC ride is listed, I include large organized rides as a suggestion. This list is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all rides in the area. If each cycling group/shop adds their rides to the Triangle Cycling calendar, that would be a good start toward having a comprehensive list.

Thanks Zonda

Anyone interested in organizing/leading a ride, serving as ride sweepers on Sun. June 14 or 28th, any location?

I can volunteer to help whoever leads, be it handing out cue sheets or liability waivers for signature.

I'd like to suggest Shearon Harris for selfish reasons (it's close to home!) but can be convinced to meet up elsewhere.

I know we had a pretty big crowd at SH a couple weeks back, I'm hoping some others will jump on the bandwagon with me.

Jerry

That's great Jerry! Anyone else willing to help so we can have a ride Sunday?

Dianna (dgirldance) and Tommy (tombiowami) have volunteered to lead a ride on Sun. 6/28!!

Hey all, I'm doing the Ice Cream Ride on the 20th and was looking on their site for a cue sheet but it doesn't look like they have one posted. Does anyone know the route or have a cue sheet for it?

I emailed asking for one if they send me one i will post it up here which distance are you doing?

I was thinking of riding at SH this Sunday. If there's an organized ride and I agree to help out, that means I have to go. Long-term forecast is not promising, but hey it's four days away.

Hi Beth - Sorry, cue sheets aren't available pre-ride. I can tell you that the 25ish is primarily in the RTP area and that the Metric Century goes out towards Chatham Co. We're not releasing cue sheets before the ride for safety reasons - particularly that construction sometimes causes us to change the route (like 2 year ago!) and we don't want someone with an advance cue sheet to be riding on an unsupported ride.

Hope this doesn't cause an inconvenience and looking forward to seeing you out there!
Blanche

Thanks Squirrley & Blanche,
I understand about the possibility of route change issues and not wanting to post cue sheets. Can you give me an idea of elevation though? The folks I'm riding with are concerned that it may be a fairly hilly ride.
