This year we have 2 Group Options for this weekly ROAD BIKE RIDE, both groups will roll out together from Left Hand Brewery on Boston Avenue - Roll out at 5.30PM Sharp.
OPTION 1: This group will be at a medium pace (15 to 18mph average - slower on Greenway, faster on roads), and will cover 20+ miles, best suited for Road bikes, and people with experience riding on the road with traffic.
OPTION 2: This group will be at a slower pace (12 to 15mph average), and will generally cover 20+/- miles too, time & pace permitting. This group will be suitable for Road and Hybrid bikes.
Both Rides will be a "NO DROP", we will try to keep everyone together, but in the event some are faster/slower, we will stop and re-group at intervals
I've never done group rides, but I'm interested. Previously I've commuted to work 4 miles 4x a day to total 16 miles for a day. I haven't ridden for a month now, though. Could I reasonably keep up with the 2nd option?
If anyone would like to share their opinion on the ride or my theoretical ability to do it, please chime in.
