SATUDAY JUNE 25 RIDE - RSVP please a message from Jason

Hi Everyone, I'm excited to lead tomorrow's Saturday Amici A Ride. The following is just a guideline on the feel of the ride - for those who don't know me or how I ride, it will still be super fun, casual and pain free in the draft :-) We will probably even stop for a few seconds to get photos. You will only hear from me if you are riding unsafely, otherwise ride however you like.
.
.
B-RIDERS WELCOMED (may end up with two groups):
Anyone who wants to test their legs and build their strength are most welcomed, HOWEVER, even though we love you, if you fall behind please prepare to follow the route or have your own way back.
.
No one will be told to slow down, break aways are encouraged. Breakaways will always regroup by stopping or turning around to pickup. Anyone who falls off the back may try to regroup but stopping will only be for a few minutes when needed.
.
.
MINIMAL BREAKS:
Planning to have a 10-15min stop at Fort Erie Tim's, other stops as need. Aiming to be back at Fireman's as close to noon as possible.
.
RIDE STYLE GUIDE
Depending on turnout but generally double pace line will be used sparingly and only when road surface is smooth enough. Anticipate single mostly and expect to be overtaken. Person on front when done will flick left elbow and move as close to the right side of the road as possible while the line will accelerate around, last person will yell out last to give the rider time to catch the end.
.

It's Summer Solstice time once again, Tomorrow , Sat. June 18th our group will begin at 8am E.S.T. ( just in case Carolyn is thinking of coming along)
I have a couple of different routes planned out in my mind. But, I thought I'd wait till tomorrow morning to decide.
I like to check out the wind/weather and who's going to ride. Rest assured. In keeping with Solstice tradition our ride will be a little longer than a normal Saturday.
We will be looking at approx 80km. We will have time for a stop to refresh and no one will be left behind, I'm thinking a 20-22kph average
Weather forecast is for slightly cooler temps than we've just experienced. If your bike has room for two bottles please bring them.
I don't often ride with the Rec group, But I'll be handing out free advise on bikes and cycling. Please feel free to ask questions
Have a good breakfast to pre fuel the engine, plan of returning to Firemans 12 noon.
Cheers Gordon
When: Saturday June 11 from 11-4pm
Where: @Firemen's Park (tent will be set up beside the Welcome Tent and St. John's ambulance to the right of the hall)
What: A free event open to the public organized by the City of NF. VERY COOL celebration with over 60 vendors and activities for all ages! The Amici Cycling Club will be participating as a Vendor as well as by manning the Bike Valet
