After the “Intro to Racing” it was discussed that the group needs to try an meet more frequently to ride together and learn everyone’s strengths and weakness. A route similar to the Long Road Loop seems to be ideal. The thought was to offer this on a day that would not impact other MHBC Weekly Rides. One thought would be to have the ride take place on a Wednesday Evening at 6:00pm twice a month. This loop would allow for dropped riders to continue riding the loop and meet back with the lead group. Furthest distance from your car is 2.5 Miles. A loop also allows people to start earlier or later.
We ask that a Ride Coordinator and ride leaders volunteer to introduce the ride before it rolls out. . It is an "A" Ride, but some "B" Riders may show up from time to time. They need to know what the plan is and the route.No Sweeping Needed, unless you want to do a quick drive around the course after the ride to make sure everyone is done
Possible Starting Points
-Sycamore Elementary School (Full Sun)
-Emmanuel Baptist Church (Partially Shaded) Not sure how full their parking lot gets on Wednesday Nights.
I give you the Quinn Spin.
The Following would apply.
Level – Advanced
Category –A
Average Cruising Speeds on Flats – 22-24mph (maybe Fast at some points)
End of Ride average Speed – 18-20mph

There is also an option that can be incorporated into the ride.
Quinn Spin with some Wingo Spingo. This can be done on the 3rd lap and give people a more steady pace for a longer peiod of time.

The Marx-Bensdorf guys do the progress rd loop near the square in Collierville, it's got a little hill that gets up to 5% and it gets your attention. The loop includes Keough rd and mt pleasant. Just a suggestion.
