And now, for something a little different:
1st Annual Tandem and Half Bike* Friends Fleche
40, 80, 100 mile options, Pace 2, 3, 4. All routes begin at the Bike Stand (407 East 4th Ave., Oly.) Start times: 100 miles – 9:00am; 80 miles – 10:00am; 40 miles – 12 noon. This ride will be modeled after Randonneur events of the same name. All routes will share a common afternoon rest stop. Each group will have a ride leader and route sheet. Riders can choose one of these organized rides or make own group and route. Groups will converge for a rest stop and combine to return to Olympia together. The aim of this ride is to get Olympia area tandems and half bike friends out for a social ride together. If you are interested in leading a route, contact Bill Scheidt (360) 791-6356 cedarrvr@me.com
*Note: Your editor has been informed that a “half bike” is simply a regular single-rider bike. Who knew?
