Saturday , December 11 Group Ride
Hey Everyone,
I have a prior commitment and won't be able to go out and ride this Saturday, however, don't let that stop you from riding!
It looks like it will be warming up to nearly 40 degrees! So, take advantage of the warmth and get some miles in!
Hope to see you all next week.

Saturday December 4 Group Ride
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!
Well, tomorrow is Saturday, which means it's time for yet another Saturday morning ride...and this one promises to be brisk!
We will meet at New Hope at 11 AM and ride until 12:30 PM.
If you have never ridden in cooler weather, tomorrow is a great day to come out and give it a try. However, keep in mind that your body has to work a little bit harder to stay warm in the cold air, so you can easily exert yourself more than you realize. For this reason, we will keep the pace very light.
Saturday November 20 Group Ride
It's time for another Saturday morning ride!
We will be leaving New Hope at 11 AM and riding until 12:30 PM. The pace will be relaxed, due to the cooler weather.
Saturday October 2 Group Ride
Well, with the daylight rapidly dwindling at the end of the day, it's getting harder to fit rides in during the week, but that's why Saturday mornings are so great!
If you want to ride, we will be meeting at New Hope at 9 AM and riding. We will swing back through Waterloo at 10, but really aren't planning on stopping. If you want to meet us at 10, make sure you comment on this post, or shoot me an email or text at jeremiah@jeremiahotis.com.
Saturday September 25 Group Ride...
Hey Everyone,
Sorry about the late email! I was talking to Adam and he asked if we were riding in the morning, and that's when I realized I hadn't sent out an email!
We are adjusting tomorrow's ride, because of the Apple Cider ride on Sunday.
Thursday Night Ride... :)
Well...we have some great riding weather today, and I just can't pass it up!
I am going for a 15 mile loop, from New Hope and back, this evening at 6:15. The pace will be pretty laid back (no more aggressive than we will do the Apple Cider ride this Sunday), probably around 13mph.
If you are interested in a few extra miles and live close to Auburn, I will be leaving from Auburn to head to Waterloo around 5:40. I'll be on the West lawn of the courthouse...if I'm not there right at 5:40, I will be within a few minutes of it. This adds about 4.5 miles one way.
September 18 Group Ride Canceled...kind of
Hey Everyone,
Unfortunately, I have a prior commitment this Saturday morning, so I am unable to do a ride.
But, don't let that stop you from getting together and riding! (That's the "kind of" part...you can still get together!)
We will resume our weekly Saturday ride next Saturday.
Hope to see everyone on Monday night!

Hey Everyone!
Hope you had a great week. It's time for the Saturday ride.

Saturday August 28 Group Ride
Hey Everyone!
It's time for the Saturday ride!
I hope everyone had a great week, and it looks like we are going to have some great riding weather tomorrow!
This week we are doing a 35 mile ride, but we are breaking it into two halves. We will not actually be stopping at New Hope for the midpoint, but we will be coming back through Waterloo. So, if anyone wants to ride, but doesn't want to do a 35 mile ride, come join us for the first half!
We will meet at New Hope at 9 AM.
Hope to see you then.

August 21 Group Ride
I hope everyone had a great week!
Well, this weekend is the first official training ride for the Apple Cider Century. That training ride will be running on Sunday at 4 PM. And, even if you're not riding the century, we'd still love it if you could join us!
However, we will still continue to do the Saturday morning rides whenever possible. With that in mind, I've got a 25 mile route that I am mapping for tomorrow's ride.
August 14 Group Ride
Hey Everyone! I hope you had a great week. It's about time for info about the ride this Saturday.
With the Apple Cider Century coming up in a bit, it's time to start getting some base miles in, and this ride is a great way to do that!
This week we will be doing between 20 and 25 miles. We will start at New Hope at 9 AM and do one loop. We will be keeping the pace somewhat relaxed (I know I will be pulling a trailer, so I won't be setting any speed records!).
I have not yet created a route, but I will have one ready in the morning.
Hope to see you there!
August 7, Saturday Group Ride
Sorry for the late notice...it's been a hectic day!
We are doing a 20-25 mile ride tomorrow, starting at 9 AM tomorrow morning at New Hope. Route is yet to be determined.
If you are thinking about doing the Apple Cider Century at the end of September, this is a great way to start getting some base miles in!
The pace will be laid back, we will be in the under 15 mph range.
Hope to see you at 9!

Saturday, July 31, Group Ride...
I hope everyone had a great week. We certainly had some FANTASTIC weather on Thursday and Friday!!!
Well, it's Friday again, time to start thinking about that Saturday morning ride.
This week I'm planning to do around 20-25 miles. I don't have an exact route planned out, but we will leave New Hope at 9 AM, and probably head in a South Westerly direction, and then work our way back North East to make a 20-25 mile ride.
Saturday Morning (July 24) Group Ride
Hey Everyone!
Now that RAIN is over, we can get back to some regular riding on Saturdays...so this Saturday is our first Saturday back.
We will be doing a 20 mile ride, starting at 9 AM at New Hope in Waterloo.
I haven't decided on a route yet, so we will pick one when we meet up.
I'm planning on keeping a very easy pace, no more than around 15 mph at the most.
Hope to see you there!
Anybody up for a ride Thursday evening, June 17?
If anyone is interested, I am going for a ride at 6 pm on Thursday evening.
We will meet at the courthouse at 6, and leave at 6:15 with whoever shows up.
I'm thinking of doing around 25-30 miles, but we will decide the exact distance and pace once everyone shows up. Hope to see you there!
Jeremiah
Anybody up for a ride Tuesday Night June 1?
I hope everyone had a GREAT Memorial Day!
I am planning on going for a ride tonight, the pace will be determined by who shows up. I will meet at New Hope at 6 PM, and leave at 6:15PM. I will probably do around 25-30 miles.
If it would work better for anyone to meet a little later, just leave a comment on this post and we can work it out.
Hope to see you there!

Group Ride Saturday May 29
Well, this is the week when we are changing up the ride! And, it looks like we will have some amazing weather! :)
The ride will be broken up into two halves: The first half starts at 7:30, and the second half starts at 9:30.
The 7:30 route will be slightly more aggressive (but we won't drop anyone), and the 9:30 route will be paced a little easier.
Anybody up for a ride Thursday Night May 27?
I am meeting at the DeKalb County Courthouse at 6 PM, leaving at 6:15 PM with whoever shows up.
I've got a time constraint tonight, and need to be home by 7:30, so I won't be riding more than about an hour...but everyone else is welcome to ride longer!
We will decide the pace and route when we meet. Hope to see you there!
Jeremiah
Anybody up for a ride Tuesday Night May 25?
Anybody up for an easy, laid-back ride tonight? I am planning on meeting at New Hope at 6PM, leaving with whoever shows up at 6:15. I don't really have a plan for distance. But, I will be back at New Hope no later than 7:45 PM, so it won't be a terribly long ride.
Hope to see you there!
