Updated by JCT 11/6/26 and notified registrants.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

This is a 49 mile ride starting from Mayo Elementary School across from Old Stein Inn where we can meet after the ride to celebrate Oktoberfest with great German food in the beirgarten starting at 1:30pm. All members are welcome. We are starting at 10:30am to make sure the weather is comfortable.

Ride leader: John Tyrrell

This is the RWGPS 49 route - With a stop at mile 24 at the the gas station we've used before. There are plenty of segments for sprints, climbs, and descents.

This is the RWGPS 40 route - With a stop at mile 12 at the the Harwood gas station we've used before. There are plenty of segments for sprints, climbs, and descents.

Please sign up early so we can let the Inn know how many of us will stay to fest together. Wear your lederhosen or dirndl dress. ABC will buy the baked pretzels.

Please bring cash to split the check easier, if you can.

Prost!
