The way points of this bicycle route:
ride meets here at 5:00. during the beginning and end of daylight savings the ride will leave close to 5. There are generally 1,2 or 3 groups leaving at staggered times and of different skill levels.
turn right
turn left on poinciana
turn right after you go under the overpass.
this doesn't look like much on the map, but you will come to an intersection- you have to cross a median road- cross and turn left.
turn right on euclid ave. this is a heavily traffic area (stay to the right) and use caution.
take a right here to swing by the birmingham bicycle company and pick up riders staged here. this is a fairly new addition to the ride since bbc opened.
this is the last point of sanity for approx. 1hr. or, this is where the therapuedic effect kicks in.
some wise guy is going to start turning the screws right here
hello 30 mph!
watch the gaps. there is usually enough horsepower in the main group to monitor everything. but, if the top dogs are restless it could all end here.
careful right here. some riders are going to cut through a gas station parking lot strewn with rocks
it's over.
