B group notes
Regroup at nearly the halfway point in the shade. Look to Ray for a cue one where it is.
This ride is a very mellow pace, but will not be designated as a no drop ride. If a separation occurs and you are not able to regroup by the allotted 8-10 minute regroup section, you are welcome to shortcut the course.
Jokes of questionable nature and political incorrectness may be encountered on this ride. See Less
