[cancelled; wet pavement] 5:30 Fox Mill 2s (6:51 sunset; off-season route; headlight)

The average speed on this ride is often over 20 mph, in practice, even with 1200’ of elevation. There are many turns onto neighborhood streets that are busy with homeward commuters. People shouldn’t need to be told not to cross yellow lines, not to go around cars on Glade, etc., so I won’t tell you. Sapienti sat.

There is one gathering point: the November Lane cul-de-sac after the Birdfoot climb. For reasons of safety, we tend to pause before crossing Fox Mill, Reston Parkway, and Twin Branches, which lets stragglers catch up.
