<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>I know y'all have joined here and waiting for something to happen. Well, wait no more, because tomorrow, (June 1st), at 12:00 PM (mid-day) we are meeting at the Cents Social Center (167 Rue de Treves, 1853, Luxembourg).</p>
<p>I have created a Strava club and an event there, details are; </p>
<ul>
<li>📣 Strava Event (please sign-up by clicking [<code>I'm In</code>] if you have an account): https://www.strava.com/clubs/1497782/group_events/2071498</li>
<li>🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒 Strava Club: https://www.strava.com/clubs/cents</li>
<li>🗺️ Route for tomorrow: https://connect.garmin.com/modern/course/358792256</li>
<li>📏 Distance: ~24 km (can be shorter if you decide to...)</li>
<li>🗻 Elevation: ~265m (including climbing back to Cents)</li>
<li>⏰ Start Time: 12:00 PM (mid-day)</li>
<li>📍Start Location: Centre Sociétaire Cents (167 Rue de Treves, L-1853)</li>
<li>🌧️ If it's gonna rain, then we need to postpone for safety reasons.</li>
</ul>
<p>The route will take us to the American Memorial, then rolling towards Itzig using the main road. Since it's Sunday, overall traffic is usually low. Expect some rolling hills (on average downhill) towards Hesperange. At Hesperange, we'll be taking the cycle-path towards Grund. After climbing from Grund to Rumm, we'll head to Neudorf, quickly taking the Tawioun climb (cycle-path) back to Cents.</p>

<p>Forgot to add: <strong>The pace is very chill, approx 20km/h (kph)</strong>. All levels and bike types are welcome, even Veloh!s are :) [Although make sure it's a good Veloh ;) ]</p>
<p>The aim is "no-drop" ride; nobody gets left behind! After each climb/hill, we either stop&amp;wait at a safe spot or go slowly until the last person catches up. </p>
<p>If you have a technical issue or any trouble, please let me and other people know so that we can stop &amp; help you out. </p>
<p>At the beginning of the ride, I will share a real-time location here. If you are lagging behind or get confused at an intersection, you can look us up here. (Please make sure to do that safely.)</p>
