**Please note: This week, the C Category Group will honor and celebrate the life of Michael Lander - BMTR Sweep Leader and friend to all - by sharing their favorite stories about him during the ride from approximately 9:00 to 10:30 EST. Michael brought warmth, kindness, and humor to every ride, and his leadership helped shape the BMTR Community; he will be missed but never forgotten.**

We invite you to a fun, supportive, and epic group ride. Feel free to join us for as little or as much of the ride as you like—everyone is welcome!

Our experienced, friendly, and engaging Ride Leaders will guide you through the experience, ensuring a cohesive group ride with lots of entertaining banter and interesting conversations.

The C and D Groups will make one brief stop at approximately 62 miles (100 km), while the A and B Groups will not stop along the way. All four category groups can use the "Coffee Break" option, allowing a 3-minute break every 30 minutes of riding time while you are auto-paced with the group.

This event is designed as a longer endurance ride, lasting 4-5 hours. The average watts per kilogram (w/kg) pace for each group is calculated to keep most riders within their "Zone 2 Endurance / low Zone 3 Tempo" ranges, provided that each rider selects the correct category based on their Functional Threshold Power (FTP) or the calculations/assignments from Zwift.

Since we will primarily use flatter routes* for this event, smaller riders may be at the higher end of their respective category average range, while larger riders may fall toward the lower part of that range.

*For our purposes, "flatter routes" are defined as having less than 3,100 feet (945 meters) of climbing per 100 miles (161 km).*
