Not a club ride and not insured by the club. It's a drop ride, though the group tries to stay together. Ask riders where the sprints are if you're new. Goes to Birch Bay and back.
First time on this ride? Here’s the drill
- Bring
- a helmet, water, a spare tube or patch kit, a way to pay for the stop.
- Arrive
- Ten or fifteen minutes before 7:30 am. Tell whoever's leading that you're new.
- Pace
- Expect 17+ mph on average: brisk — you'll want some fitness. It's a drop ride: if you can't hold the pace, you'll finish alone. Fine if you know your speed. Not a first ride.
