[Janet E]

In case anyone wants to join us....

Saturday, 8/13 – Long Ride, 90 Miles (or you could cut back in at Chagrin Falls to make it 75 miles easily)

Start: At Lifetime Fitness Entrance in Beachwood
Bike departing at 7AM sharp.
There are a few gas stations along way for refueling.

Pace will likely be somewhere in the range of 18-20 mph with regrouping at the top of climbs. Ride will be rolling terrain on very nice roads that are pretty lightly travelled. Elevation gain will be ~4500 ft.

Sunday, 8/14 – Medium Ride (48 Miles), Optional towpath Run following.

Meet at Station Rd parking lot and depart on bikes at 8 AM sharp.
Brecksville Station Road: From Rt. 82, take Riverview Road 1/4 mile South and turn left at Station Road Parking Lot.

The route includes lots of flat riding on Riverview and Akron Peninsula out in Cuyahoga Valley National Park, but 6 climbs thrown in to make for some nice scenery. Pace again will be somewhere in the range of 18-20 mph with regrouping at the top of climbs.

48 Mile Sunday Route:

Planning to run 8 miles after on towpath.

Considering joining Sundays ride. Looking at your route, Snowville was closed west bound last Thursday and I think it still is. Even if it's open you won't want to ride it, it was all torn up. Hopefully Mark will confirm.

Just found confirmation.

Snowville Road
Snowville Road is one way from Dewey to Brecksville Road which started in late July. Traffic is only permitted eastbound and it will remain so until September due to the ongoing sewer work. A detour onto Dewey is posted for westbound traffic.

Chuck, good to know! We can just go up Columbia or Boston Mills then to 21 instead.

Well hopefully we will see you. Not sure what the weather will be Sunday morning but I will cross my fingers and be out there regardless.

Looks wet for Sunday AM. I may try to get in an off road ride Saturday before it rains.
