Group B, John Taloumis leading

B riders, looks like we finally have the weather that we get to do this route that John has planned for 3 weeks now!  It's a relatively flat 44mi route thru Agawam country roads with 1575 of climbing (per Strava) so it should be a 'fast' paced ride.  Just follow the link below to get familiar with the route and print a cue sheet if you like. 

LATE BREAKING NEWS: John just told me he feels like hills tonight.  So you decide.  Check out this second route and he'll go with the flow.  

B Group:

•  fast pace; 17-19mph average

•  fast pace NO-drop ride, groups will gather back up at major intersections and re-group points.  

•  routes not marked, please be familiar with the route.
