Protocol:

  • Paceline when conditions allow, jam as hard as you like on the climbs, occasional sprint OK, soft pedal for an in-flight regroup when we get separated

  • Regroup at the top of every major climb and every significant descent — everyone descends at their own safe speed

  • Pay attention to the regroup locations and don’t pass them if you wish to stay with the group

Bring two water bottles

Regroups: stay together at least to Taafe, regroup at entrance to Foothills Park (water, bathrooms), each subsequent regroup location will be called out during a stop
