OK. So. My brakes for my mountain bike came in today so with a little luck I should be off-road at least one of these days. I'm thinking of now doing the Round Valley road ride on Wednesday and the riding Round Valley on the mountain bike on Thursday. I would like to meet at the shop and be on the road by 9am or so that way people can get ready for New Year's Eve festivities. And I always over-estimate the average mph so people understand we're not gonna average 11 mph and you will die if you bring a fixie or a hybrid or a mountain bike with slicks on it, etc, etc, etc
The actual stats from this exact ride from Sunday....
61.24 miles...3:32:37...17.27 average speed (<---on a cross bike with a single 42t ring)...We made 2 stops, 1 for a flat and 1 at a general store near Round Valley for a drink reload...
