We rode about 22 miles on the trails and farm roads until we ended up at the Sunrise Diner in downtown Edwardsville. The Turtles actually got there first, but Turbos came into the resturant just a little later and joined the Turtles.

After lunch, Turtles and Turbos rode 4 more miles back to the starting location.

Why ride with the Turtles?

• To have fun and find friendship
• To ride low mileage routes with mostly flat terrain
• To enjoy having rest stops every 5 miles or so.
• To learn helpful hints for beginners - "Rules of the Road"
• To have help in changing a flat.
  (Do bring your own tubes/tools.)
• To know you will not be left behind.
• To enjoy delicious lunches during or after ride. (Bring money)

Who rides with the Turtles?

• New retirees who now have time to ride.
• New riders (inexperienced)
• Riders who prefer to ride 10-25 miles
• Riders recovering from injuries/illness
• Fast riders now slowing down

Who rides with the Turbos?

• More experienced and fit riders who want a similar but more challenging experience than they would have with the Turtles.
• People who want to ride farther, ride faster, ride more difficult terrain, and still enjoy the camaraderie of other bikers
• Riders who prefer to ride 35-40 miles
• Riders who do not want to stop every 5 miles for rest.
