Connecting an alphabet soup of coded locations for starting several other rides makes for a fun, challenging loop along the east bench. Can you name the parks, the schools, the churches? Can you find them on the map? We’ll pass by all of them, or at least as close as safety and convenience allow. All riders are welcome on this no-drop ride. Familiar roads with intermittent climbing. A few short, steeper pitches, but plenty of recovery grades (and recovery pauses) as well. An early start to beat a little of the heat. Refreshments and tall tales at Coffee and Cocoa.
