This is a DROP/ REGROUP ride. Be prepared to be self-sufficient. We do regroup at various points waiting 5-10 minutes. If the group decides to leave and you have not caught up, you may be on your own. If you drop from the group, please text the ride leader. This is an experienced group of riders with reliable ascending, descending and pace line skills. Always ensure you have the route and are fully self-sufficient to complete the ride on your own and have the ride leader's cell number if dropped. We strive not to leave anyone alone. We will check your location, determine your safety and whether you are rejoining the group. Have the route available through your choice of navigation options. Please add my cell phone to your phone. (248-891-5033) Text me if you drop the group.
