Ride Descriptions
Wednesday Evening Rides: These rides are particularly popular. Some ride them very quickly, but others take a more leisurely pace. Various distances are available and dinner often follows.
Saturday Rides: These rides are typically shorter and flatter than our Sunday rides, and they are less challenging in the Spring and Fall. Various distances are available.
Sunday Rides: These rides are our longest and hilliest (but, a choice of shorter options are usually available). They are shorter and flatter in the Spring and Fall.
Leisure Rides: These rides are run in conjunction with our Saturday rides during the summer and are designed for new riders or for those who wish to ride at a more leisurely pace. Distances are in the range of 10–14 miles. They have their own ride leader.
Friday Lunch Rides: These rides are held on Friday and they tend to be of moderate speed and distance.
Ride Cancellation Policy: In general, rides are not cancelled. For almost any weather condition, there is likely to be one or more willing riders. Thus, ride leaders should be sure to attend even if conditions are very poor and they don’t plan to ride.
Terrain: Abbreviations are used in the ride descriptions to describe how flat or hilly a ride is. Note that these ratings are approximate, and are an average for a ride –some rides have long flat segments along with some very hilly segments.
