Route: "Hilly" http://ncbikeclub.org/queue_sheets/hilly.htm Comments: The ride leader has requested to be dropped by all participants. The earlier in the ride, the better. But you're on your own after that and the route includes many turns, so don't get lost. Maps and cue sheets will be provided (and most of us know what that means...)  |
