The temperature at the start should be in the mid-60's, climbing to the low-70's by the end of the ride. Winds are forecast to be from the SE at 5-10 mph. There is a significant chance of rain (about 40% all morning). Wet roads will cancel the ride.

Stops:
There are 2 scheduled stops:
- Rest area by bike path in Corwin at about mile 24
- Gas station in Bellbrook at about mile 47 (or later if the route is extended)


Pace:
This is a mid-B ride. Expect a minimum average speed of 16 mph, but more likely the speed will be between 16.5 and 17 mph.

Departure:
The ride departs promptly at 8:30 am, and there will be a pre-ride briefing about 8:25 amIf you drive to the ride and you are parking your car close to 8:30 am, you may get left behind. Arrive 15 minutes early and be ready to clip-in and roll at 8:30 am.

Aerobars (and other safety stuff):
Your bike with aerobars is welcome on the ride; however, do NOT use aerobars in the group. It's dangerous and it's also prohibited by DCC Policy. Also, while this shouldn't need to be said, your bike MUST HAVE BRAKES. If you have a fixie with no brakes, you shouldn't bring that bike out on a group ride.
