Wednesday Ride (10 Jun 2026)

Wed, 10 Jun 2026 16:00:00 GMT

Ride Details

Wednesday rides are drop rides and may separate into two groups* determined by rolling speed. You select where you want to ride based on your comfort zone (see below). If you start out to fast simply wait for the slower group to pick you up. Your level of fitness should allow you to maintain the rolling speed for your group. There are frequent regroups on hilly routes to help everyone stay together.

All groups will ride the published route which will be between 35 and 55 miles in length. Routes by may include moderate grades.

* A Group: To determine if this Group is appropriate for you, imagine pedaling a flat 15-mile route and be able to maintain a rolling speed between 16 to 18 mph.

* B Group: To determine if this Group is appropriate for you, imagine pedaling a flat 15-mile route and be able to maintain a rolling speed between 14 to 16 mph.
