Down East Cyclists

The Bicycle Shop's Friday Morning Road Ride meets every Fri at 8:00 AM in the Food Lion parking lot on Piney Green Road up by White Oak High School. This is an Intermediate ride averaging aprox 17-19 MPH over a 28-30 mile course on flat N.C. back roads.

Ride departs the parking lot promptly at 8:00 AM. Ride will be canceled in the event of Rain, Ice, Snow or temps below 50.

This is a new ride for DEC held starting at the Beirut Memorial on the rails to trails and will be between 10 and 15 miles. This is a no drop ride for beginners and those who are just interested in cruising at a comfortable pace. Post ride coffee at Lil Bean Cafe. You can show up in lycra or cargo pants, the only requirement is a bike and a helmet.

This ride goes onto Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, so bring a valid government issued ID card. We will ride 25-35 miles with a target average speed of 15-17 mph. This does not mean a maximum speed of 17 mph; cruising speeds may be higher as conditions allow. Speed and/or distance may be increased if all riders present are capable. While this is a no drop beginner group ride, it is not suitable for riders who aren't capable of averaging over 14 mph for 20+ miles on their own. Please ensure that you are adequately prepared, as it is unfair for the rest of the group if you cannot maintain the minimum pace.
