Century Training Ride #5

Free - Open to current (and potential) club members, and Century registrants.  There are a few more hills than Training Ride #4.  The weather is going to be typical summer heat and humidity.  Please bring adequate nutrition.  Hydrate before, during and after the ride.  Last week we had over 100 cyclists preparing for the Century on our training ride!

Training ride #5

Lifetime Cycle Club and Reston Bike Club are working together to help people prepare for the Reston Bike Century. Our fifth training ride will feature three groups.  The "A" group will average around 19 MPH. The "B" Group will average 16-18 MPH.  The "C" Group will serve both as a training group and a teaching group.  We will focus on how to ride safely in groups. The "C" group will average between 14-16 MPH.  This route is a hilly route.

 Below is the cue sheet for the route.  There will be two routes for this training ride.  The longer route will be 56 miles and the shorter route will be 48 miles and eliminate a few hills.  Depending on the group and the weather, the "C" group may do the shorter route:
