WHAT: The Club rides are "NO DROP" (except for the A group), we will re-group at the top of hills, and at any turns where necessary
GROUP A: This group will be at a faster pace (16.5 mph average) DROP/NO-STOP
GROUP B: This group's pace will depend of on who's riding, but is generally around a 13.5 mph average. NO-DROP
WHO: This is a mostly gravel/road ride for people who have experience with group rides, singletrack, and road traffic. Please only sign up if you are confident you can complete the described ride/route (distance, pace, etc.).
RIDE NOTES: Rides roll out no more than 5 minutes after advertised start time, please arrive early & be ready to roll on time.

• We are vehicles on the road so it is imperative we follow the traffic laws. Failing to do so can lead to serious injury, possibly death.
• Come prepared for mechanical breakdowns (bring spare tube, patch kit, tire levers, multi-tool).
• Be sure to bring enough water for the length of the ride. As a general rule, one bottle of water is good for 1 hour of riding (8 oz per 20 mins of ride time).
