QCBC Fall Tailwind Ride

We have multiple routes set up to drive out and drop off riders for a 100 mile ride back with a tailwind [hopefully].

• All starts and finishes will be from Ben Butterworth Parkway parking lot.
  
• We will have a lunch (subs, chips, cookies, gatorade) at 50-60 miles into the ride.
  
[*]Every route has plenty of small towns with services along the way if you need them.

• Load bikes at 6:30 AM, and leave at 7:00 AM
  
• Bring a blanket to protect your bike on the truck.
  
• There will be a 45 person limit for the ride [1 busload] but we will add another bus if there is more interest.
  
• The drive normally takes about 2 hours, where we will unload the bikes and send you on your way.
  
• Improved and easier to read cue sheets and maps.
  
• Secure area [a locked trailer] available for gear.
  

• There will not be a rain date. If we are rained out we will give you free entry into next year's spring or fall tailwind ride.
  
• There is no sag vehicle if you can't finish! It is 100 miles, so think about your fitness level before riding.
  
• The northern/western routes have a lot of hills and negate some of the benefit of the tailwind.
  
• All potential routes are on the QCBC website so you can get accurate info on the difficulty of each route.
  
[*]The Tailwind Committee is comprised of Dave Thompson, Janette Harrington and Don Luth.
