New Group ride set up - Sat 29th if anyone is interested:

Starting Early but have a couple of jump on points at later times. I wanted to avoid the heat that may be in the mid - later morning and day.

7 am

Will start at the parking area at Horseshoe Lake Boat Ramp. Enter the coordinates "38.707517,-90.094233" in Google maps should get you to the location.

Will travel South - South West on School House Bike Trail to the end (about 4 miles) and back to the parking Area. Should be at the parking area again between 7:30-8:00 am.

8:am

People can join me at that time and We will ride Nature Bike trail about 10-12 miles round trip back to the parking again. Should be ready to go again at 9 am.

9:am

Weather and all we can be joined or leave the ride there and we will head out again up North-North/East on the School House as far as we feel we want or need to go from there. I am planning on another 10-12 miles myself if the heat isn't too bad at that point so should be back at the parking around 10 am to complete my ride.

Thanks Again for hosting a great ride. Took me a couple of days for my legs to feel normal again, but glad I did the extra loop as far as I did. Great Meeting everyone hope to see you on the trails again soon.

I'm excited to see so many people interested in riding! I'll be at the park and ride a little early ready to go. I'll have a GCC jersey on and a black Specialized Awol bike.

I've got a ~12 mile all bike path loop to start out with, and if people are adventurous when that's done, we can do another loop up through SIUE that's about 15, so a total of 27 miles.

I don't ride in groups very often, but I'm consider this a no-drop ride, I'll ride at whatever pace.

Feel free to ping me if you have any questions or concerns, I'm happy to share my phone number via direct message as well.

Looking forward to riding with you all.

I dropped off the Bus at S. Univeristy & Chain of Rocks Rd. Looped all the way up to the Edwardsville Bus Station.
