DESCRIPTION:Join our Meetup group as we tackle the 2022 Coffeeneuring Challenge! Don't drink coffee? Got you covered with tea\, hot chocolate\, cider\, coffee stout\, etc.! We will sponsor a qualifying coffeeneuring ride each Sunday for the next six weeks and try to get as many members as possible to complete the challenge.\\n\\n\\n\\nEach ride will have a distinct qualifying destination cafe or beverage store at which we will stop to enjoy our preferred beverage (I am a tea person but flexible) and get the required Challenge documentation. These will be independent shops (no Starbucks!) with good reviews. The rules require 7 different destinations and that is integral to our plan.\\n\\n\\n\\nOur moderate\, 30-mile ride today goes to the Spoke Bicycle Cafe on the LA River Trail\, which has drinks\, snacks\, food\, and bike repair! It has less climbing than our usual Culver Steps rides\, but it does have one sustained climb up to Silver Lake\, which isn't silver anymore (anyone know why?)\, and also visits our popular LA Historic Park start/finish location and the CicLAvia Chinatown Hub for those who are interested.\\n\\n\\n\\n*Coffeeneuring is what randonneurs do when they are not doing randonneuring (timed. unsupported long-distance group cycling). While randonneuring has a century+ history of epic riding in Europe\, with the USA joining in 1997\, coffeneuring was invented in the USA only 12 years ago by Randonneurs USA (RUSA) member Mary Gersema as an enjoyable\, tongue-in-cheek variant for social riders like us.\\n\\n\\n\\nForecast\\n\\n\\n\\nDetailed cue sheets will be provided. The ride will be pre-ridden during the prior week to check on road conditions. Thus\, updates may occur at the last minute.\\n\\n\\n\\nRoute: ridewithgps route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/41092398\\n\\n\\n\\nCue Sheet: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Qjk1FCBvtp8u-ysBEym__jPU7dmvAtWE/view?usp=sharing\\n\\n\\n\\nRequirements:\\n\\n\\n\\nHelmets are mandatory.
