[C4 Rides] C4 New Year 2016 Ride - preride

David,
                Since you sent that to everyone, let me follow up with a response from Facebook:
Jeff Viscount: This is encouraging... NC Representative Charles Jeter<https://www.facebook.com/charlesjeter>, co-sponsor of HB232 sent me a message last night and stated, "Happy to comment on your post, but it won't let me. I agree that NCDOT recommendations are not acceptable and we will not approve them at the NCGA." I have added Mr. Jeter to the group and welcome his comments and insight. I hope everyone will appreciate his willingness to engage this group and remain respectful in your comments. Welcome to the WeeklyRides Facebook group Mr. Jeter.
Charles Jeter<https://www.facebook.com/charlesjeter?fref=ufi> Sorry I couldn't post earlier as I wasn't a member. Please don't mistake NCDOT recommendations as the final straw. It is far from it. While there are some good suggestions (passing on double yellow line, etc...) there are some that are just asinine and I assure you won't pass in legislation.

Recommend everyone taking a look at the NC cycling article front page of today's Observer.  My greatest concern is the proposal to require permits from local governments for 'informal' group rides involving more than 30 cyclists.  What would this mean for rides like ASMM?

A few are planning tentatively to do a 40 mile pre-ride at 7:30 am from the Right gear then be at the parking deck in time for a snack before the ride. Feel free to message me on Facebook if interested in joining in. This should turn our metric to an imperial.

O.K. folks,  It's the LAST week of the 2015 year and it looks to be a bit wet.  Tuesday Night Loops (With a run up to 152) looks possible if it isn't too wet at 6:00.

Anyway, short and sweet:  We officially have 2 groups to fit your speed!  A dedicated B ride (14-16) pace and a dedicated (NO DROP) A- Ride (16.5+) pace.  If you are interested in EITHER ride and I haven't heard from you, please let me know.  I'd definitely like to get the number in the B group up to a definite 5 or 6 just to be able to rotate the pulling.  So far, all riders are interested in the 63 mile (full) route.  However, if you aren't opposed to taking the 4 lane from Salisbury, you can shave it down to about 50 if you get in trouble.

Friday at 10:00 from NCRC.  Route Links at bottom of email...

Subject: C4 New Year 2016 Ride - Update 1 week out

Good afternoon C4 riders and also Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays!

I've attached a Cue Sheet for the planned New Years Day ride and we are definitely looking at a 10:00 start time from the NC Research Center in Downtown Kannapolis.  If you are not 100% sure where that is, you should be able to find it on Google maps OR via the ride links below.  Once there, just park near the parking deck.  We need to be READY TO ROLL at 10:00; not getting there at 10:00.  If you are not there at 10:01 you will most likely start out chasing the groups.

After speaking to everyone, I'm not advertising this as an A ride per se, but an A- ride.  I'm looking for a no drop 16.5 / 17 avg. for the lead group.  This only has a little more climbing than the Sunday route and is spread over about 25 more miles so everyone that normally rides our Sat. and Sun. rides in the 16+ speed should do fine on this ride.  Having said that, there are at least 2 folks planning to do the route at closer to a 15/16 mph pace so I'm sure that they would love some company.  (If you'd like to ride slower, or know someone that would, please have them contact me so that I can get them in touch with that group of riders.)  I'd really like to see no less than 5 in that group just so folks can take turns pulling.

The extended forecast is looking like about 45 degrees at the start with 55 being the high.  I'm looking at the ride taking about 4 hours total assuming we keep the 16+ average and keep the mid-ride break to 10 minutes.

If weather turns south or either group wants to cut it short, I've included the B route as well which cuts off about 12 miles.  Granted, it's mostly the 4 lane from Salisbury but the road is wide and a lot of bikes travel that road so we should be safe if we need to take that option.

I've got commitments from many of you, but I'd like to see a few more folks join in as long as they are willing to ride the proposed paces.  Also, feel free to invite others not on this list.

If you are planning to go and haven't already said so, let me know!  If you have questions, let me know!

Thanks team, looking forward to it.

Sean Earnhardt
