"Solstice Solo Team Challenge" The Teams have been selected!

OK, before anyone comments on the team selections here's the disclaimer. The Team Captains were designated based on a pool of (4) A riders and (1) other rider who all have been consistently  accumulating high weekly distances this season. The remaining places on each team were selected with (5) rounds of separate draws from individual pools of Rec/Social, C, and B riders, the idea being to attempt to balance a range of abilities on each team and level the playing field for everyone.

So tomorrow, ride whenever it suits you and at a speed and distance that is comfortable for you. When you're done report your distance traveled to your respective Team Captain so they can total the distances traveled by their team. 

The original idea of our "Solstice Ride" came from a group of friends who took on the challenge of riding from sunrise to sunset on the longest day of the year and seeing how far they could travel! Sante, Gus, Danny, Marcus and others would meet at the Donut Diner on Riall setting out at 6:30 am and riding until sunset sometimes riding 200 miles in one day! We were younger and more foolish then!

So now older and wiser we can celebrate the day and the daylight once again, each in our own way. Have fun, be safe and celebrate the day!
