Saturday looks to be a nice day for a bike ride. Everyone is expected to ride as a group. If you choose to ride at a much faster pace than the leader or deviate from the route, then you are on your own.
Bring a cue sheet and/or a navigational device to the ride and also have the phone number of the Ride Leaders and the phone number of at least one friend
