Group Ride Descriptions

Casual Road
Objective is to provide new riders and returning riders the opportunity to have a fun, healthy event. This ride is easy paced at 12-15 mph. The usual distance is 15-20 miles. All bike types are acceptable (mountain, city, hybrid or road). No unicycles.

Breakfast Ride - Road
This group meets on Saturday mornings and rides 15-30 miles to breakfast. After breakfast some riders will head for home while others continue riding, possibly completing a century. This is a very friendly group that would love to have you join them.

Touring Road
Participants are not so much concerned with speed as they are in riding maximum miles that sunlight will allow. The pace is a little faster than the “Casual” ride, but the mileage is significantly more. Average speed is 15-17 mph with a distance of 25-50 miles.

Tempo Road
The objective of this group is to do several minutes of fast steady riding. Participants will be riding 25-50 miles, with the pace varying from steady cruising to sitting up to allow recovery. You can expect this group to wait for slower riders. Riders in this group are expected to have some familiarity with pacelines and echelons.

Race - Road
Participants are racers and serious athletes. This groups rides from 25-50 miles. Pace in this group will vary from easy recovery to all out sprints. Riders will be involved in “King of the Hill" efforts, paceline intervals, timetrial efforts, race tactics and race simulations. Riders must have familiarity with pacelines and echelons

Mountain Bike
This group visits our local off-road trails. They welcome both new and experienced riders. They usually ride as long as daylight allows.
