*Starting Time Note: We plan to start at the posted time for the month unless the weather is extraordinarily unseasonable (COLD, HOT, WINDY, WET). The ride leader for the weekend will monitor weather forecasts and announce the weekly plan, along with a route selection, to the RABA message board. If you are not a RABA member or do not receive the message board notifications, please contact the appropriate ride leader by Friday afternoon.

Description and Directions: The ride leaves from the rear parking lot behind the football field at RF&P which is in the back of Crump Park (3400 Mountain Rd, Glen Allen VA 23060). Turn into Crump Park off Mountain Road, turn right on RF&P Drive to enter RF&P Park, and take the first right (just before the railroad crossing sign) into the overflow lot.

A route, varying from 30-40 miles and mostly flat, will be selected by the weekly ride leader and published to the message board a few days in advance. Most of the planned routes head in various ways to Ashland with a rest stop in the town. For variety, an occasional route may bypass Ashland.

Riders may ride the published route or group with others in the parking lot to ride a route/pace they prefer. All paces are welcome but may be self-led. The ride is not a no drop but leaders will generally try to re-group.

An up to Ashland for coffee is always a lovely option: RF&P – New Riders Elmont Detour · Ride with GPS.
