19 Sat 7:30 90 19-20 Tom Sheffield   Pleasant Union School The Louisburg Loop,

Some of you are planning to participate in the NCBC Summer Rally on Sunday, so this will be a "controlled pace" ride - meaning that if you decide
to drop the ride leader (like last week), you'll have to depend on the cue sheet to find your way around Louisburg and Warren County. This is a fairly tame route that you'll find to be mostly flat, except for the hills.
