Spring Training Series 2023

It's Time To Get Back In The Saddle!
Ride Dates: April 8th to June 3rd

Whether you're training for a big ride event like the OutCycling Pride Ride (Sunday, June 11th) or just need to get back in the saddle after a Winter off your bike, the Spring Training Series (STS) can help you achieve your cycling goals.

Series Summary
Rides are fun, friendly, and informal. The routes follow quiet roads as much as possible. These routes give the STS rides a more relaxed, social feel. We will start out with a 40-mile ride and build up by ~10 miles each week, improving our strength and endurance, all while taking in some lovely scenery. The routes travel out of the city and explore parts of Westchester, Rockland, Hudson, and Bergen counties in NY and NJ.

The rides are self-supported, meaning we do not have formal "leads or sweeps," and we ask all riders to be comfortable navigating with RidewithGPS (we provide) and fixing flats on their own. If you are unsure what any of that means, don’t worry — it’s not complicated and we will help you get up and running in online workshops before the series starts.

We endeavor to run “no-drop” rides (no one gets left behind), but we do ask that you come into the rides with a sense of your riding capabilities. You should be able to ride in the 13-17mph* range, but we’ll probably all start out on the slower side of that as we shake off the cobwebs. Don’t worry if you don’t know your speed. Our first ride will be Central Park laps where we learn our average cruising speed. You may be surprised how fast you already are.

Rides generally take place on Saturday each week, starting Saturday April 8 and run through Saturday May 20 (with a bonus 7th ride on June 3.) Rides will be pushed to Sunday in the event of bad weather.

* Typical speeds "on the flats." Not the average ride speed shown by your GPS app.
