The group rides plan is as follows (dependent on each week's ride leaders' availability):

ADVANCED / THRESHOLD RIDE:

  • 40-60 miles, route changes each week. 19+ mph average pace. 2-3 hours.
  • Starts easy and conversational, and it becomes progressively harder, especially on pre-determined climbs or segments, with no planned regrouping. This is a DROP RIDE. Conversation will be difficult to sustain, and the group may spread out.
  • Pick this ride if: You are extremely fit, experienced with high-speed riding in a fast-moving peloton, and really like the performance, training, and competitive aspect of cycling.

INTERMEDIATE / TEMPO RIDE (2-3 hours):

  • 35-50 miles, route changes each week. 16-19mph average pace. 2-3 hours.
  • A moderate pace ride with parts becoming more difficult. Most of the ride is conversationally paced. Pace may increase on short pre-determined climbs or segments, with regrouping at the end, within reason (group will wait 5-7 minutes, but not indefinitely!).
  • Pick this ride if: You are comfortable riding in a group, and . You're fit, you like to spice up your pace a bit, but not looking for a "hammer-fest". You want to get a workout in, in a social casual setting.

BEGINNER / CASUAL RIDE:

  • 20 to 30 miles at a 13 to 14 mph average pace, with multiple breaks and regroups. It's easy, conversational, and all inclusive, meant to meet fellow cyclists and welcoming new riders to the sport. β€œNo drop” rules all the way through.

- Pick this ride if: You are a novice cyclist, or a more experienced cyclist looking to educate & welcome new riders to the sport.
