Our first ride of 2006. See the related Courier article or www.cascade.org/cts for more information. All riders start at a common location and choose a group that meets their fitness level. The Groups are: RED 11-12mph; YELLOW 12-14mph; and GREEN 14-16mph. (There will be NO Blue or Orange group this first weekend.) All will cycle the same route and we encourage riders to move ahead or back if their current fitness level does not match the pace of the group they chose. Riders are expected to be familiar with the Instructions to Newcomers on the homepage or the Rides Classification section in the Courier. In addition, for the Training Series riders are expected to maintain a minimum 2-3 foot separation while riding (no pacelines). Bring food–there will be no restaurant stop nor support vehicle. First time CTS riders should allow extra time at the start line to read several special CTS handouts. Today's ride will follow the Lake Washington Loop south to Seward Park before returning to the start. The Club office is located just inside the Warren G Magnuson Park main gate but look for the "Ride Parking" sign and follow the arrow.
