Leaders:
Description: This weekly ride starts at the rear
of Portabella Ristorante located in the Varina Food Lion Shopping Center. It is
a show and go ride like the Saturday ABC ride. There will be no pace group ride
leaders; riders will form their own groups. Ride leaders for each Sunday, listed
above, will provide a sign-up sheet and help new riders match up with riders of
a similar pace. Riders can choose their own route if they wish. We are also blessed
with the Capital Trail just across route 5 from the shopping center. Cue sheets
and maps for over a dozen rides ranging from 19 to 52 miles are available by going
to http://www.raba.org/raba-cue-sheets-and-maps/,
selecting "Portabella" in the drop-down with the "Any Start Location" default, and
clicking the "Show Rides" button. Print and bring your own cue sheet as none
will be available at the ride.
Parking: Please park behind Portabella Ristorante in the rear of the shopping
center. If this area is filled, park on the west (Richmond) side of the shopping
center. Do not park in front of Portabella Ristorante or other areas in front of
the shopping center.
Directions:Portabella Ristorante is located at 2627 New Market
Road (Route 5 and Strath Road), Henrico, VA 23231. Park in the lot behind the building
(See note above).
