Description: Like last year, we will be holding our annual Spring Membership ride and picnic from Bethel Church at Paige, VA just outside of Bowling Green. We will have everything from a 20-mile NO DROP event to a Century route as well as tables set out for you to sell or give away your most prized cycling possession.
The intent of this ride is to invite others from our area who may not know of the club to meet us and come ride with us.
To ensure that the Century and Metric riders stay hydrated we will have rolling rest stops meeting the riders at key locations (TBA). In addition, there are churches with water on the routes and even a couple of stores on the century route. The 36-mile rest stop will be at Caroline Market (unmanned). There are no manned rest stops on the 20-mile no-drop route.
After the ride we will be providing a meal inside the church's community room, but you will be expected to bring your own chair to enjoy the sunshine under the oaks outside the church while eating.
Club members are asked to bring a dish to share, deserts etc.
We MUST have a ride leader for every route. If no volunteers then that route will be scrubbed.
We will have tables for the bike swap meet. You will be responsible for labeling what you are selling/trading/giving away. While we will be at the church making sure the groups have everything they need, the swap meet is on the honor system.
Start Time: Start time for the century is 8am and 9am for the other routes.
Location: Bethel Baptist Church, 14036 South River Rd, Woodford, VA 22580 (the club's usual rest stop church on the Hopewell and YMCA routes).
Note: Parking will be in front of the church, along the private road adjacent to the church and in the large lot across the street.
