Tuesday and Thursday - 5:30 - Peachtree Corners Baptist Church - 21 to 25+ miles. A/B group - pace on
flats 18 to 20, typical average speed 16 to 17. B/C group - pace on flats 15 to 17, typical average speed

Pinckneyville athletic fields and down Spalding to the finish. You can add Scotts Mill and Hermitage if
you crave a few more hills! Over time this ride has evolved into something of a "drop" ride, so I
encourage you to familiarize yourself with the route just in case.
