Ten or fifteen minutes before 6:00 pm. Tell whoever's leading that you're new.

Expect 6–9 mph: you can talk the whole way. It's no-drop: if you fall off the back, someone waits. That's the point of a group ride.

I do the miles. You decide who they’re for.

In 2027 I ride 10,000 miles, all on the bike, every one of them for queer communities. You pledge a few cents a mile and pick which org it goes to. It starts January 1.
