Rides are for those who average L/M [leisurely, (8-13 mph) to moderate (11-16 mph)] ...There are no restrictions on your speed, just be safe :)

Difficulty varies and some rides may include a "*Challenge" such as additional miles or inclines. *To be posted and announced by ride leaders, if available.

SAG support: While we do have an awesome and dedicated SAG, it is important that you come prepared and are self-sufficient. Always have a back-up plan to call someone for assistance if you need to be picked up.
