The Adventure Ride is a social ride. We will break into as many groups as we need to, to accommodate the folks that would like a nice Sunday morning social ride.
This ride is NOT designed to be taxing on your system and abilities, it is designed to be a comfortable safe recovery ride. More seasoned riders, can easily recover at a faster pace -- while the rest of us need a slower pace to recover. This should be a nice steady Zone 2 ride.
If you leave with a group that is making you work too hard -- pulling over and waiting for the next group will usually work.
If the ride is full -- there is not a waitlist. Do not look for a waitlist -- it will not be there. If you want to ride, and are a ride leader, let me know and if you will volunteer to help -- I will guarantee you a spot. Which means that I will be able to allow more folks to join the ride.
If you are not a ride leader -- we get lots of cancelations between 1am and 6am Sunday morning. Apparently, folks that sign up for this ride lead a much more glamorous life than I do -- and are out hitting the town Saturday night and realize a Sunday morning bike ride is not going to happen. Good for y'all! Anyway, if you are a PBA member and are not able to register for the ride on Sunday morning, please show up and we will get you on the ride. Understand you will need to be a little flexible and a team player.
The route this week is about 32 miles with a rest stop at the 21 mile mark. If you are typically not able to go 21 miles without stopping, this is NOT your ride. If you have a nature emergency on the ride -- please call for a nature break -- the group will find a place to stop.
