We have rides of all sizes, speeds, and destinations leaving from Wilson Park each Saturday. The Pluck Farm event is an opportunity to bring all riders across the club together for a post ride social. Here is the scoop. All typical Saturday morning rides will depart from Pluck Farm and return to the same destination. Ride leaders will structure the rides to return to the farm by 12:30 PM. We have made arrangements with Pluck Farm to have the parking lot opened for us to use that morning. Pluck Farm offers a variety of food trucks and beverages with plenty of outdoor space, seating, and live music for us all to enjoy together following whatever ride you join on Saturday.

What to expect:

• Ride length of ~60 miles, occasionally shorter/longer, at 20-21 mph
• Max group size of 22. If there are more than that we will divide into two groups before the start. (Group 1 will be at the upper range of the target pace with significant efforts at the designated segments, Group 2 will start a few minutes later and will not be quite as intense.)
• Double paceline ride with friendly and relaxed attitude/conversation
• 10-15 minute stop along the way for hydration, fuel, and socializing
• A few friendly and competitive "go hard" segments with a regroup at designated spots. (However, not a no-drop ride)
• Post ride continue the social/beverage option

RSVP is required for all riders who either start at WP or plan to join the ride on the road.

Your responsibility as part of the group is to RSVP and supply your own cue sheet or download the GPS file.
