🔰 Beginner Tip
Get into the habit of eating during the ride. A banana or energy bar halfway keeps your legs happy the whole way through.
⸻
👥 Who’s This For?
Riders who are building back-to-back weekends or anyone needing a slightly shorter ride to stay consistent.
⸻
☕ Café Stop
We’ll take a break at the scenic Cinnamon Cafe, riverside chill, and plenty of space to reset before the return leg.
