25 mi – 2 to 2 1/2 hours, appox. speed is 10mph
50 mi – 3 to 4 hours, appox. speed 14 mph
100 mi – 6 to 7 hours, appox. speed is 15 mph
Please consider these estimates when selecting your ride. If you are a slower rider you may miss out on the BBQ and raffle, which would be a sad thing! These times are expected to get you back to the lodge before 3 p.m. when the BBQ closes and the raffle begins.
