For the next few weeks we are going to focus on the Coastal loop route on Saturdays. We will have a Marshfield ride towards the end of May. We will split the Marshfield group into 2 sections. We had a good turnout for last Saturday. New and strong rider Ian lead the the pack with Justin. Kim was also crushing those hills; the training in Arizona pays off.

We had a small group ride the 30 mile course on Sunday for steady pace workout averaging 17.

NWS is predicting the following: “chance of showers. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 60. Light southwest wind becoming south 5 to 9 mph in the morning. Chance of precipitation is 40%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible..” It was 32F and cold at the start on the prior Saturday. For Sunday “50% chance of rain before 2pm.”
