We will roll at 9AM - please arrive 15 minutes before the ride to divide up groups and for safety announcements
This is a C+/D ride -- we will split up groups and if you roll with a group that is feeling to spicy for you -- just wait for the next group to pick you up.
(14-17.5ish average) The last group officially should be around 14, but it could be 13 - it just depends on who shows up!
The first group should not exceed 17.5, but it will probably average at 18ish -- but will not exceed 18 BECAUSE the ride leaders will get a lecture from the Grinch!
THIS IS A MOSTLY SOCIAL RIDE!
If you are looking for something a little more serious, faster, and longer -- PBA is also offering a 40ish mile A and B ride -- check out the website for details.
We have a 30ish mile flattish route. The rest stop is around mile 20. There is one "go zone" where folks can take Rollins at their own pace, and we will regroup before finishing up the ride.
If you go with the 1st group, understand that they will average 17-18 mph. All riders in the first group will be expected to participate in pulling the group. Riders at the front will rotate. If you do not know how to pull or do not feel comfortable pulling, keep the pull very short -- but you are expected to learn this skill.
If you roll with the regular groups -- we divide the groups so that we can safely make it through lights. If the group does not feel like it is "gelling", we will break the groups into smaller groups.
Group 1 and group 2 will practice rotating after 3-5 mile pulls. If you do not know how to pull -- you will need to learn, and the folks on the ride will teach you.
IF YOU ARE NEW TO GROUP RIDING - please go with the last group to roll. This group has riders who are able to spend time and explain the nuances of group riding and how to be a safe group rider.
All levels of the Adventure Ride are about learning how to be a better group rider and be better aware of the group around you. Be predictable, no big movements, follow the directions of the ride leader AND the sweeper, be kind to one another -- if someone is doing something incorrectly -- teach them the proper way. Be the example!!! this is how we all get better and have a fun and safe ride.
Please arrive by 8:45AM for pre-ride announcements and group split instructions.
