As with all rides, there is no guaranteed support [you are responsible for you]. We make every effort to make sure people have the route and ideally a person to ride with. Make sure you have the route downloaded.
Pace will vary depending on who shows up. Any group over 10 will likely split up into faster [16mph-ish] and slower group [13mph]
