Join the Distance Builders for rides varying from 45 to 80 miles every Saturday morning, year 'round.

This ride has two regular rides every Saturday, and two long rides on most Saturdays. We stop as a group for mechanical problems and flat tires. There is at least one rest stop, usually two in the summer. We divide into 3 to 4 pace packs either at the start or at a break point on the ride.

  • DB1: 55-62 miles - Scott McPherson
    • 17.5 - 18.5 mph average speed
    • 16 - 26 mph traveling range
    • Route maps are sometimes posted in the DB forum

  • DB2: 45-52 miles - Chris Mathews
    • 17 - 17.5 mph average speed
    • 15 - 23 mph traveling range
    • Route maps are usually posted in the DB forum

  • DBLong: 58-65 miles - Dave Tysver
    • 15.5 - 17 mph average speed
    • 14 - 23 mph traveling range
    • Usually starts with DB2
    • Route map? What's that?
    • No DBLong in the wintertime

  • DBXLong: 65-80 miles - Warren Casteel
    • 15.5 - 17 mph average speed
    • 14 - 23 mph traveling range
    • Does not go every Saturday


DB rides are NOT 'no drop' rides, so please be fairly confident you can do the distance and pace. The leaders will do their best to maintain group integrity by riding the published speeds and using re-group points.   Distances and speeds will vary depending on wind, road and other conditions.

Check the DB ride forum for any changes due to the weather.
