Sunday 24 July
Start time: 0900
Social event: 1300
The planned 62.6 km (39 miles) route is found at: https://www.strava.com/routes/4637901 and is mildly hilly. It can be trimmed for those looking for shorter, easier efforts. The start is located at:
204 Mount Pleasant Boulevard, Fredericksburg, VA 22405 (off Forbes Street) https://www.google.com/maps/place/204+Mt+Pleasant+Blvd,+Fredericksburg,+VA+22405/@38.3369701,-77.4551127,774m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x89b6e9940a623e8f:0xbe050ee96ec36639!6m1!1e1
The social event takes place at the end of the ride, at approximately 1300, at 204 Mount Pleasant Boulevard where we will be able to play Croquet, Petanque (the French version of Bocce), and Horseshoes in my big back yard while sipping cold drinks and nibbling good food.
Request that everyone please bring a healthy dish and drinks to share, homemade or purchased. Also seats... as I have a very limited supply.
I will provide a variety of grilled sausages, bread, cheese, and wine, and ice.
Spouses and others are invited to join us for the social time.
Rules for the various games can be found at:
