Bike Fit By Smiley: Detail
+++++++++++++++++++++
About: Smiley el-Abd - I (Gary) was told about Smiley from other CBG cyclists that had used him for their fitting, and boy does he know his stuff.

He's been bike fitting for more than 20 years and I can honestly say that once he was done 'dialing' me in on my road bike I gained at least 3 miles per hour, I was straighter on my bike (feet, legs, using the correct muscles, etc..), and my butt hurt less than it ever had in the past.

The bike fitting is not inexpensive, but if you have spent money on a spendy bicycle and/or you'll ride more than 30 miles on average with the bike you have, a fitting is 100% worth the money.

Check out his webpage for all his information as well as pricing and anything else you would want to know about him.

Smiley has been featured in the Washington Post Sunday Magazine!

Ride Level Chart
+++++++++++++++++++++
NoVA CBG tries to accommodate all levels of cyclists by offering different types/levels of rides. We just ask that you come to the ride that suits your current riding ability the best.

• Introductory Level: If you haven't ridden a bike in a number of years (or are uncertain of your abilities on a bicycle).
• Beginner Level: You can ride for 10+ miles at a pace of 10+ to 12+ mph with potentially minor hills involved.
• Medium Level: You can ride for 20+ miles at a pace of 13+ to 15+ mph with potentially moderate hills involved.
• Advanced Level: You can ride for 20++ miles at a pace of 15+ mph with potentially major hills involved.

Both Medium and Advanced Levels might require handling various challenges such as reading cue sheets, using a Garmin or navigation app, night riding, out of town travel, or any other odd cycling situations.

An RSVP of 'YES' is your digital signature and means you have read and understood MEETUP.com's:

• "Terms of Service : Section 6. Release" found at https://www.meetup.com/terms/
• NOVA-CBG's "Assumption of Risk Agreement" found @ https://www.meetup.com/novacbg/pages/1942951/NOVA-CBG_Waiver/
• NoVA CBG's "COVID Policy" found @ http://bit.ly/2021_NoVACBG_COVID19_POLICY

Helmets are required to participate in all NOVA-CBG rides. All riders ride at their own risk and with the understanding that cycling is an inherently dangerous activity. When coming to the meetup you do so voluntarily and are ready and able to participate in the ride as described under the conditions of the day. Be on time for the "pre-ride" preparation. If you do not attend the pre-ride preparation you will not be allowed to participate on the ride. There are NO exceptions to the above.
