This is typically a 42 mile recovery type ride starting at SR 54 (Suncoast ) Parking lot at 7:30am to SR 52, turning around and then riding through Starkey Park. We then take Starkey road south to Havana Dreamers coffee shop. We will break for a coffee & Cuban Bread breakfast (20-25 minutes) before returning back to SR54 through the park.
We can shorten the ride by omitting the SR 52 turnaround component depending on the groups size and any time constraints.
Please be able to maintain 18-20 mph pace line wind permitting. We will keep the speed in the 20 mph maximum average range and riders can pull 1-3 miles at that speed. We may dial it up on the return leg depending on the size of the group but basically this is intended to be a Zone 2-3 recovery ride. All riders are expected to ride in a pace line safely. New riders are expected to hang in the rear of the group to get acclimated. Please arrive 15 minutes before the start time so the group can discuss the plans, introduce new riders and leave on time. Everyone rides at their own risk and this group assumes no responsibility for any injuries. Team Elite is not responsible for any injuries that may occur during any event we host. Paceline experience is expected if you want to attend this group ride.
