CHIP SEALING WHITEHOUSE AREAIn addition to Kosciusko Rd, I was told that 42nd street will also be chip sealed this week. To get around this chip sealing you may have to use 523. Manny

Kosciusko RoadIt has been brought to my attention that Kosciusko Road in Whitehouse is getting chip sealed today. I recommend waiting a few days for the road to settle. 42st is a good detour. Manny

DAYTIME PACES (Updated: April 2015)
Pace	Minimum Average Speed	Description
A	18+ mph	Hard fast riding, few stops, slower riders will be dropped, frequent pace lines.
B+	17 mph	For very fit cyclists, slower riders will be dropped, leader rides at listed pace, occasional pace lines.
B	16 mph	For fit cyclists, terrain varies, up to 30 miles between rest stops. Leader sweeps no slower than 16 mph. BUT if there is a concurrent identical (same tour #, same start time) C+ ride, or the ride leader has posted “no sweep” in the ride comments, the leader rides a B pace and does not sweep.
C+	14.5 mph	For accomplished cyclists, terrain varies, up to 30 miles between rest stops, leader sweeps no slower than 14.5 mph. If there is a concurrent identical (same tour #, same start time) C ride, the Ride Leader may choose not to sweep and depend on the C ride to look after slower C+ riders.
C	13 mph	For accomplished cyclists, terrain varies, up to 30 miles between rest stops, leader sweeps no slower than 13 mph.
D+	11 mph	For experienced cyclists who want an easier pace, up to 20 miles between rest stops, leader sweeps no slower than 11 mph.
D	9 mph	Relaxed riding for experienced cyclists, easier terrain, up to 15 miles between rest stops, leader sweeps no slower than 9 mph (typically no longer than 35 miles and on terrain not more difficult than C+).
CA(Casual)	Casual	Relaxed riding, no steep hills, frequent stops, group stays together.
S (Special)	varies	Special ride. Click on ‘More’ (after login) to read special comments.

EVENING TRAINING RIDE PACES Paces for evening rides have a T prefix to indicate that they are “training” rides. Training means that the rides are typically shorter, do not have rest stops and riders generally ride at a faster average compared to day rides.
Pace	Average Speed	Description
TA	18+ mph	Hard fast riding, few stops, slower riders will be dropped, frequent pace lines.
TB	16.5+ mph	For very fit cyclists, slower riders will be dropped, leader rides at listed pace, occasional pace lines
TC	15+ mph	For accomplished cyclists, terrain varies, leader sweeps no slower than 15 mph.
TD	13+ mph	For experienced cyclists, leader sweeps no slower than 13 mph
TE	11+ mph	For any cyclists who can average 11 mph and ride the posted distance without a rest stop, leader sweeps no slower than 11 mph
