DB1

DB1 (Distance Builder 1) leaves Spring Creek & Coit on Saturday morning at the club’s scheduled departure time.  DB1 ride leaders emphasize safety, fun and helping everyone become the very best rider they can be.  We challenge riders with a pace and distance designed to quickly develop the skills and endurance to ride at the highest level…when we lose you to OAS Lite, we have done our job!  Although a drop ride, DB1 usually designates a sweeper to equip riders, at the very least, with the information they need to make it back to the starting point.  Riders should arrive at the lot 15 minutes before departure time to sign the PBA ride waiver and listen to pre-ride announcements.
