What to Expect
- Cool temperatures, layer accordingly.
What to Bring
- Fuel and hydration for on-the-bike.
- Extra water, and wear light clothing since it may heat up quick!
- Head light and tail light so you can be more visible to cars.
- $ if you plan to join others from your group for lunch afterwards!
How Long It May Take
Depending on each group's pace, distance, and roll out time, the time when each group completes a ride differs. Figure in an extra 30 minutes for short breaks and possible mechanicals. In general, you can expect the following paces:
- C Group (10-12 mph): For those who wish to ride a casual pace.
- B 1 Group (12-14 mph): For those who ride the B group at a bit more relaxed pace.
- B Group (12-14 mph): For those who ride the B group at a bit peppier pace.
- A1 Group (13-14 mph): For those who want to ride the A Group route but at a more relaxed pace.
- A Group (14-17 mph): For intermediate-advanced riders.
