That said, we should have an end of ride average of about 13 mph. Because the number of riders is limited to 20, please remove yourself from the Going list if you change your mind.

If you sign up for the ride and are running a couple of minutes late call me on my cell and we will wait (but not for long). If you are looking for a high paced training ride, this is not it.
Bring:
• Food & fluids for 2-3 hours - 2-3 24oz Bottles or Hydration Pack.
• Bring a tube/GABA patch kit and a way to inflate.
• Be sure your bike is in good mechanical condition.
• Helmets must be worn at all times while riding.
• No ear buds! This is a safety requirement; not a request.
• Obey traffic laws. Drive your bike as you would your car.
• You are a representative of the greater cycling community and should therefore conduct yourself appropriately.
• Please represent GABA well.
GABA Ride Types:
• Social – No Drop: we ride together two abreast where
conditions permit. We often have a sweep rider and no one gets intentionally dropped
• Re Group: We ride in smaller groups at our own pace and
regroup at specified points in the route
• Training Ride: The route is posted and all riders need to be self sufficient
Please select GABA rides where you are confident that you can ride the posted distance and pace.
