Tuesday Moderate Ride – August 19th – 9:00 AM – Panera
As promised, we will attempt once again to ride to Lambs Farm. Our route uses some less familiar streets in the Deerfield area to get to this familiar location. We'll lunch in the popular restaurant at this famed institution for the developmentally disabled. Here is a link to the route we will use: Lambs Farm 2019 · Ride with GPS. I made some changes to the route last Sunday evening, so if you have already saved it to a device, you will probably have to save the updated version. Our total distance will be nearly 47 miles. I will ride at a moderate (13 – 15 mph) pace. With enough interest there will be a slightly faster group led by Will. Service can be a bit slow at Lambs Farm, so plan your afternoon accordingly.
The forecast for Tuesday is a great improvement over last week’s actual weather. Skies should be cloudy in the morning, partly cloudy later in the day. The high temperature will be 84 degrees, and the winds will be out of the NNW at 5 to l10 mph, which means we should have a tail wind for our return trip. If the actual weather differs from this forecast in a manner that makes it prudent to cancel the ride, I will post an announcement to the listserv by 7:30 AM on Tuesday morning.
