About this event
49.8 miles · +3,031 ft (Route will be changed or ride cancelled if temps predicted to be above 87 degrees.)
This interesting, challenging route starts with a warm-up through rolling countryside before turning downright hilly, including a tough ascent up Mar-Lu Ridge (the hard way). For those unfamiliar with this classic local climb, Mar-Lu features a steady 14-20 percent uphill grade. (There is no shame in getting off the bike and walking. Heck - even the ride leader has not yet made it all the way up in the saddle.)
ABOUT ROLL WITH RITA RIDES: This is the latest in a series of rides geared specifically toward fast-end CC riders who enjoy riding longer distances in a group but are tired of being dropped from rides purporting to be CC friendly. Participants tend to be committed to staying together (more or less), maybe even regrouping after long stretches or a tough climb, and ending with an average of about 13 mph. My philosophy is: "It's supposed to be fun."
