Contes Saturday 8:30 am ride
Fast A-A+ pace group, with a B pace ride 5 minutes later. Tripower acts as group leader, with many other teams represented like SR racing/Le Blue, VB wheelmen, and Coastal. 35 milies with 2 regroup for the A ride and a nobody gets dropped policy for the B ride. Start is at the Contes at 1805 Laskin Rd.
Slow start for a few miles until the right onto Great Neck with a sprint a few miles later just after the bridge to a regroup at the shopping center at Gt Neck and Shore Dr. Then down Shore Dr toward the Oceanfront which turns into Atlantic Ave. Sprint to 49th St where we enter the Bay Colony neighborhood and slow down. Regroup 4 miles later at the New Moon Cafe at the corner of Holly and Pinewood Rds, 1 block north of Laskin and Holly Rd intersection. Some people head a few miles up Laskin to the start, or to get an early start on coffee at Starbucks. Most people reverse course and go slowly through the neighborhood and pick up speed again on Atlantic. Sprint about 8 miles later right before the Food Lion shopping center where the first regroup was. We wait at the light only for recently dropped riders (ie from the sprint of it's lead up), then go down Gt Neck with a sprint several miles later to Mill Dam Rd where we turn left at the 7-11. Moderate to slow spin back to the Starbucks where we socialize and tell stories of athletic prowess to impress the opposite sex or other team members. - a 34.3 mi cycling route in Virginia Beach, Virginia
