Reston Century Training Ride #8

Free - Open to current (and potential) club members, and Century registrants.  Training Ride #8 is a 75 mile route with several hills. The official start is at Wegmans in Leesburg.  You can meet us at Loudoun County HS and shorten the route to 62 miles or return from Lovettsville for a 40 mile route. 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 #8, Starting Time:  8:30 AM

Lifetime Cycle Club and Reston Bike Club are working together to help people prepare for the Reston Bike Century. This 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.  

 Below is the cue sheet for the route.  This is a 75 mile route for all three groups.  There are several places where people can shorten the route by returning to the start by the trail:
