Ride Around Kent County
145 miles touching the 4 corners of Kent County. Shorter distances (90-120 miles) may be achieved with a "SAG forward." There are at least two groups: "Fast" (18+ average mph) and "Good" (15+ average mph). Slower paced riders will not finish the 145 mile route by the 6pm cut-off. SAG, snacks, ice, and sports drinks all around the route. Lunch for 145-milers about half-way around. Sandwich provided for 100-milers. Lunch sandwiches will contain chicken and possibly nuts. Peanut butter, jelly, bread, bananas, oranges, trail mix, and "Aussie Bites" and/or "Sunrise bars" (organic energy bars) will be available as alternatives. If these options don't meet your dietary needs, then we welcome you to bring your own nutrition and our SAG vehicles will carry it to the lunch stop for you. Be sure to mark your name and phone number on the container!
