OZARK VELO RIDE. Leaves @ 7:30 am from Walker Park in Fayetteville. Two rated climbs. Pace will be 15-18, and Kenda Grover is the ride leader. Note this is a drop ride and riders should know the route should they disconnect with the group. For anyone wanting a shorter ride, you may turn back north on Black Oak where Harris Community Road ends and make this about a 40-mile ride. Please begin hydrating a couple of days early; it will be hot and humid Saturday and this is one reason for the earlier ride start. 58.35 miles, Wyman/Round Mountain/Black Oak. Click here for details.
