About this event

This is part of the Saturdays with Rita Z series -- longer, more challenging rides at a reasonable pace (ending with an average of 12-13 mph).

IF YOU DECIDE TO JOIN THIS RIDE, PLEASE SEND ME YOUR CELL PHONE NUMBER AND EMAIL ADDRESS IN CASE I NEED TO MAKE A LAST MINUTE CHANGE. ALSO SEND NAME AND PHONE OF EMERGENCY CONTACT. ( rzeidner@gmail.com)

This week we'll head to the Gettysbury Battlefield. (No park pass needed but very limited services in the park). At ride start, park in first lot on the right inside the park, NOT on the first lot off the street by the playground. Opportunities to buy snacks or use indoor plumbing on this route are limited, so plan accordingly by bringing plenty of water, snacks and maybe a sandwich. (Route includes a loop to the visitor center, where there may be water and a restroom.) Ride leader, however, will not spend time touring the park or visitor center. It'll be in and out.

ONCE YOU SIGN UP PLEASE ALSO SEND ME YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS AND CELL PHONE NUMBER in case I need to make a last minute change or cancel. I'm at rzeidner@gmail.com. Also please send me your emergency contact information.

Be sure to you have fully completed the PPTC ride registration process. If you don't receive an automated message from Club Support immediately, you're not registered. That means I won't know you're planning to participate and won't be able to tell you about any last minute changes.
