{"id":674,"title":"Brisk (SUSPENDED DUE TO COVID-19 VIRUS)","description":"Brisk rides are for strong riders who want to ride at a brisk *average pace, with occasional sprints, and brisk climbs. The route and starting point will vary - expect some climbing and, in fact, on most days, a lot. Riders should know how to make repairs. Riders are expected to review online and understand the planned route. The Brisk group is NOT a no-drop group, slower riders are discouraged. <br \/>\r\n*Average Speeds \u2013 The speeds listed are average speeds maintained for the entire ride, not the minimum or maximum speeds. To maintain the average ride speed, riders will ride far faster and far slower at times. While not required, a cycle-computer is helpful to judge average speed. In some situations, leaders may feel the conditions justify a slower average minimum speed.","start_location":"Start Location Varies","unprefixed_start_location":"Start Location Varies","pace":"Brisk (>18 mph)","terrain":"Hilly","distance":"50+","ride_leader":"Dennis Cramer","phone_number":"541-773-5804 ","email":"scramer5804@charter.net","time":"Start time Varies","date":{"timestamp":1601189940,"formatted":"Saturday, Sep 26","midnightTimestamp":1601103600,"dayOfWeek":"Saturday"}}

A real loss! I spoke with Ian the day of the fire and asked if his shop was in danger....he said they had left the shop a few hours earlier and were up on Beeson watching the flames advance. I know he lives in Talent and wonder if any of you know if his house was saved? Also looking to know if anyone knows if Jerry Rhodes came through this nightmare OK or not.
Feel free to contact me via my email if you have any info.
Thanks,
Jeff Davis
