For visitors
Free, including the orientation. Bring a road bike or a hybrid with narrow tires, and a helmet. The host says someone will stay with you if you fall behind. Global Bikes has a ride waiver. The program's Strava club is invite-only. The event text still mentions an April orientation date, so the program seems to run more than once a year.
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
- Beginner pace; distance builds from 10-15 miles in week one to 30 by the end. It's no-drop: if you fall off the back, someone waits. That's the point of a group ride.
