New start time – 6:00 PM.
RIDE IS ON. The weather has been weird today with lots of little cells all around us, but clearing according to the forecast – and the radar has not been too helpful. There are no weather Warnings or Alerts, so we are not mandated to cancel. Are we guaranteeing a perfectly dry ride? No. But if we do get some precip, it shouldn’t be too much for too long. And although we are sweet, we’re not made of sugar! lol
This is the Late Season Route for the TAM Ride. It is shorter now the sun is setting earlier. It is very similar to the early season route but with a twist – we go up Col du Watson instead of down. It’s the end of the season, you’re stronger than you were back in April. Bringing lights is always a good idea.
Load the route on your bike computer if you have one, here’s how.
