Description

‘A’, (Orange) group rides: Mid-November thru Mid-February, the typical mileage and average pace will be reduced. Distance and pace will be determined more by the weather conditions than on summer rides. Under 50 degrees we ride approximately as many miles as the Fahrenheit temperature. On the nicest Winter days expect 40-65 miles with average pace of 16+. Forecasts with potential for precipitation or high winds and wet pavement all will influence the distance and pace.

'B' (Blue) group rides: Mid-November thru early 2010 will scale back to mostly 40-45 mile range, still averaging 15 mph - plus. Weather forecasts will influence routes: potential precipitation will precipitate rides closer to town with numerous bail-out routes.

'C' (Green) group rides: Mid-November thru early 2010 will scale back to 25-30 mile range, generally averaging about 13-14 mph. Weather forecasts will also guide route choices.

Notes:
"A" rides are For strong cyclists wishing to improve both group and individual riding skills as well as overall physical fitness. Expect pace lines, some sprinting (“attacks”) and intervals. Infrequent stops for water and regroupings. Members of group willing on occasion to lend assistance for “pulls” to help others rejoin main group. No obligation to wait. Although physically challenging, emphasis is still on group riding for fun and improving group riding skills.

Easy access to each weekend's rides can be gained by clicking on 'Calendar' in the menu to the left... Suzanne usually has the rides up there toward the end of the work week, depending on when the A, B and C ride leaders get their rides posted.
