Open to anyone who can hold the pace. The first SMR of 2026 was 56 miles with no coffee stop, up to the Highland Park boat ramp and back by about 10:30 am. The route is posted at the start of each week. The club cancels for bad weather and says so on its Strava page.
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 7:15 am. Tell whoever's leading that you're new.
- Pace
- Expect 19 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.
- Check
- Look at the host's website the day of — that's where cancellations, weather calls and start changes get posted.
