• Details: This ride puts an emphasis on smoothness, form, speed with efficiency, and quiet on the bike. The rides are more for working as one verses putting others into difficulty. Generally really for more experienced riders able to handle the bike at speed in a high functioning paceline. Developing riders are advised to hang on back to get acclimated. **Although this is technically a "drop ride," attention is paid to helping riders improve skills and is not a goal to leave anyone behind. But riders should join with awareness this could happen ~ kh
